Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the cards for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it's a tough stretch. For the first two weeks of the forecast, we're looking at a real flat spell. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and most days the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, making things messy. There's a lot of nothing in there, so don't be in a rush to grab your board.

Monday morning, July 13th, offers the first bit of hope. We've got a tiny 2ft swell from the north, but the real story is the glassy conditions with a light NE breeze. The combined energy is only 83 (weak), so it's not going to be powerful, but it'll be clean. The water's sitting at 67°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—about 2°F above average, so that's a nice little bonus.

After that, it's back to the doldrums. The swell drops to 2ft and below, with energy readings barely breaking 30. The wind does a bit of a dance, but it's mostly onshore or cross-shore through the rest of July and into the third week. There's a brief moment of clean conditions on Tuesday morning, July 22nd, with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still only 2ft from the NW and the energy is a weak 60. Just not enough to get excited about.

The real standout, and the only thing worth circling on the calendar, is Monday, July 27th. That morning, we finally see a jump in swell to 4ft from the WNW. The combined energy hits 249 (moderate), which is a big step up from everything else. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, keeping the surface clean. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it's windswell, not a groundswell, but it's the best wave we'll see all period. The afternoon holds similar size at 5ft with energy at 261, still clean, but the wind picks up a bit. This is your best bet, but it's a long way out, so don't lock it in just yet.

Playa de Xago is a very consistent spot, so it's a bit unusual to have such a long quiet run. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so the forecasts might change, but as it stands, you're waiting until July 27th for a proper session.

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.
