The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a pretty quiet start, to be honest. The first week is mostly small and weak, with the odd moment of glass that might get you out for a splash, but the energy just isn’t there. We’ve got a bit of a wait until things get interesting.
The standout of the whole run is Tuesday the 11th of August. That morning, we’re looking at a solid 8ft groundswell from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, and the wind is a clean offshore cross-off from the east. The combined energy is a massive 1626, which is proper strong. This one is for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners. The sets will be powerful and lined up, but at a beach break, that long period can make things a bit straight. Still, with that offshore wind, it’s going to be clean and meaty. The afternoon backs off a touch to 8ft, but still clean with moderate energy (1008).
The day before, on Monday the 10th of August, there’s a building swell, but the wind is onshore and the conditions are only marginal. The morning has 5ft and the afternoon jumps to 8ft, but both are onshore and messy. Not the day for it.
The rest of the second week is a drop-off again. Wednesday the 12th of August morning has a clean 4ft NW swell with glassy conditions and moderate energy (306), which is a nice session for intermediates, but nothing compared to Tuesday.
Earlier in the week, Thursday the 6th of August morning has a clean 3ft from the NNW, but with a short period of 6 seconds, it’s a bit weak. Friday the 7th of August afternoon goes glassy again with 4ft, but again, the period is short.
To be honest, if you’re looking for a real session, hold out for that Tuesday the 11th. Everything else is small, weak, or onshore. The water temp is about 68°F with a normal anomaly, so it’s average for the time of year. The crowds at Playa de Xago can be a factor, so get in early for that Tuesday morning.
Rusty.
