The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let’s see what we’ve got here for Playa de Xago. The next 16 days are a mixed bag; a bit of a slow start, one standout window, and then some hope towards the end of the run. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothing to complain about there.
The first real chance to get wet comes Monday morning, the 27th of July. That’s our best bet. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the NNW, with a solid 10-second period. The energy is moderate with a reading of 555, and with an ENE wind blowing 9 mph, it’s a clean cross-off breeze. This is one for the intermediate crew – it’s got some push, but it’s not a beast. It’s a very consistent setup, so you’ll get plenty of waves, but be aware, it’s often crowded here. The swell direction is hitting from the NW, which is right on the money for this spot.
The rest of that first week is a bit of a letdown. Monday afternoon stays the same size but the wind picks up a bit and the quality drops. Tuesday morning is still okay with a 4ft swell from the NW and a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy is low (286) and it’s not the standout. From Wednesday afternoon through to the end of the first week of August, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. There’s a glassy morning on the 30th of July, but the swell is only 2ft with a period of 8 seconds and almost no energy (76). It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for it.
We hit a flat spell from the 3rd of August onwards. The 4th and 5th are tiny, practically nothing. Then, things start to rumble again on the 6th of August. Thursday afternoon sees a 5ft, 11-second NW swell pushing in, with a combined energy of 561 – that’s a solid pulse. The wind is onshore, though, so it’s messy. The real gem is the morning of Friday, the 7th of August. Glassy conditions, 5ft of NNW swell with a 9-second period, and energy of 336. That’s a clean, fun morning, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on the forecast. After that, it fades off again into the second week, with small, poor conditions wrapping up the run.
The best on offer is undeniably Monday morning, the 27th of July. The rest of the window is a waiting game for that Friday morning on the 7th of August.
