The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the table for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, the forecast is a bit of a slow burner to be honest. We've got a bit of a lull kicking things off, with Sunday 26th July looking pretty flat and messy. The cross-on wind from the west is just making a mess of that weak, short-period swell. You're looking at a combined energy of only 111 (weak) and it's just not worth the paddle. Energy levels stick to the low end for the start of the week.
But hold on, Monday morning 27th July is where things get interesting. This is the standout for the whole period. We've got a nice clean NNW groundswell rolling in at 6 ft with a decent 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps right up to 555 (moderate). The wind is a clean cross-off from the ENE, which is going to put some nice lines on the face. This is the one to circle in the calendar. Playa de Xago is exposed to the swell, and with the optimum direction from the NW, this is a solid combo. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Tuesday 28th July is still a good shout. The swell drops a touch to 4 ft, but the energy is still decent at 286 (moderate). The real treat is the Tuesday afternoon session, with a glassy NE wind at barely 3 mph. That'll be as clean as it gets. It's a little smaller, but the quality will be there. Crowds are likely here, so get out early if you can.
After that, the swell fades fast. Wednesday 29th July sees onshore winds and a dropping swell, and the energy plummets. We're looking at a few days of small, weak surf from Thursday 30th through to Sunday 2nd August. The combined energy dips into the 30-60 range (weak) most of the time. There are a few glassy moments, like Thursday morning 30th and Saturday morning 1st August, but the swell is just too small to get excited about – barely 2 ft to 2 ft. It's a real lull.
We get a tiny pulse of energy on Monday 3rd August, with a combined energy of 86 (weak), but the wind swings onshore again, spoiling it. Tuesday 4th August brings a bit more size with a 4 ft NNW swell and a 10-second period, giving a combined energy of 316 (moderate), but the wind is onshore and the report calls it marginal. It's a bit of a tease.
The rest of the first week of August stays marginal. A few days of cross-off winds on Wednesday 5th through Friday 7th keep things clean, but the swell is mixed up and the energy is weak. By the weekend of 9th-10th August, we are back to tiny, weak waves and onshore winds. The long-range stuff on Sunday 9th has a longer period swell of 11 seconds, but it's only 2 ft, so the energy is still weak at 95. It's a promising sign for the future, but not for now.
So, the big call is Monday morning 27th July. That's your best window. Get on it. After that, the pickings are slim for the rest of the fortnight.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
