The Lowdown
Alright, this is the same forecast, but in feet and Fahrenheit for anyone who thinks that way.
The early part of the outlook for Playa de Xago is a bit of a bummer. We’ve got small, short-period windswell, but the wind is messy. On Wednesday morning, the 22nd, there are some surfable waves at about 4ft from the NNE, but with a cross-off breeze and a 6-second period, it’s not going to be a classic. The water is 70°, which is a little warmer than usual for this time of year.
There’s a gap of a few days with no real highlights. Thursday through Saturday are all looking poor, with onshore wind and tiny, weak swell. Don’t get your hopes up.
The first real window opens Monday morning, the 27th of July. The swell jumps to about 6ft from the NNW, with a 10-second period. That’s a groundswell, and it’s got a decent amount of energy behind it (533). The wind is a clean cross-off from the east, which will keep the waves clean. This is the best session of the whole period. If you can, this is the one to beat.
Tuesday the 28th still has some decent leftover swell, 4ft from the NNW with a 10-second period. The morning will be clean with a cross-off breeze, but the energy is a bit lower (327). It’s a good option, but Monday is the standout.
After that, the swell fades. We get a few glassy mornings with tiny waves, nothing major.
Looking way out, there’s a promising pulse on Tuesday morning, the 4th of August. We’re talking about 5ft from the WNW, with a 10-second period and strong energy (475). The wind is forecast to be glassy. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves. It’s a long way out, so don’t book the time off yet, but it’s a promising signal.
For the overall winner, Monday morning, the 27th of July, is the true standout. The swell is solid, the wind is right, and the energy is good. Get on it.
