The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at things in feet and all that. Let’s break down what’s happening at Playa de Xago.
The next few days are a total bust. Tiny, onshore windswell and messy conditions. From now through the weekend, you’re better off finding something else to do. It’s flat, choppy, and not worth the effort. Just a big fat zero.
Alright, listen up. The one that’s got my heart pumping is Monday, July 27th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a proper groundswell arriving. Expect solid head-high sets around 6 ft, coming out of the NNW, with a 10-second period. That’s got some real push to it, with a combined energy reading of 603 (moderate wave energy). The wind will be a clean offshore breeze from the ENE at 9 mph, grooming everything nicely. The place will likely be busy, so be ready to share. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. This is the session.
Tuesday the 28th is still a good option, just a step down. You’ll see waist-to-chest high waves at 4 ft from the NW, with light cross-offshore winds through the morning. Not as powerful as Monday, but clean and fun.
After that, the swell backs right off. Keep an eye on Saturday, August 1st. The morning looks glassy, dead calm, with a nice 4 ft groundswell from the NW. It’s small, but that offshore wind and clean water will make for a lovely paddle. The energy reading is 243 (moderate wave energy), and it will feel smooth.
Early Monday, August 3rd, offers another small, clean window. The swell is around 4 ft from the NW with a light offshore breeze. It’s not a standout, but it’s a clean, fun wave to start the week.
After that, the forecast turns sour again. We go back into small, rainy, and messy conditions for the remainder of the second week. Not worth planning around.
So, to sum it up: if you’ve got one day to surf, make it Monday the 27th of July. That’s the top of the list. Tuesday is a solid backup, and Saturday the 1st of August is the best of the small, glassy mornings.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Playa de Xago may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
