The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming up for Playa de Xago.
We've got a decent run of waves kicking off tomorrow, Monday the 20th of July, and it's looking like the best bet of the whole period is that Thursday morning the 30th of July. The swell is coming from the NNW, and it's a solid 5 ft with a nice long period of 11 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and combined with the glassy conditions, you're looking at clean, lined-up waves. The combined swell energy is strong, sitting at 641. This is the standout session.
But there's plenty to keep you busy before that. Monday morning the 20th starts with a 5 ft NNE swell, short period at 7 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-offshore at 6 mph, keeping things clean. The energy is moderate at 248. It's a good, fun size for intermediates, and the offshore wind is a major positive. Be aware that this spot can get crowded. Tuesday morning the 21st is similar, a touch smaller at 5 ft, but still with that light cross-off breeze. It's consistent, so there will be waves.
Wednesday the 22nd will be smaller, around 4 ft, and still clean. The swell drops right off from Thursday the 23rd. We're looking at a few days of tiny, weak surf with onshore winds. That Thursday morning the 30th glass-off is your target, though. The afternoon of the 30th is a write-off.
The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. We have a pulse of energy on the 28th and 29th of July, with a 5 ft to 7 ft NW groundswell, but the period on the 28th is a very long 12 seconds, and the cross-off wind is moderate at 12 mph. The energy is massive – 964 to 1130 – but the conditions are only marginal. That long period groundswell might be a bit too straight for the beach break, but it's worth a paddle. The 30th is still the one to circle. After that, we fade back into small, clean conditions through the start of August. Nothing huge, but consistent little waves for the log.
Rusty.
