The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Playa de Xago.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next few days are a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a flat spell with tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. From Tuesday the 14th right through to Sunday the 20th, the swell is barely a whisper, with heights under 1 ft, short periods, and combined energy mostly under 40 (33). You’ll be staring at a lot of small, choppy junk. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 18th morning where it goes glassy, but there’s just no real wave to ride. If you’re a beginner, it’s not even worth dragging the board out.
Now, things start to get our attention around Monday the 21st of July. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the NE with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to moderate (303). It’s still a bit messy and the wind is a cross-off, but it’s the first real sign of life. The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze waiting for a set.
The real standout, though, is shaping up for Monday the 27th of July. Mark that date. We’ve got a solid 6 ft NW groundswell, with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy is strong (549). But the best part? The wind is forecast to be glassy in the morning. That’s the magic word – glassy. This is going to be clean, and with that size, it’s a solid intermediate wave. The swell direction (NW) is right on the money for this spot. However, keep in mind that this is a long-range call, so it’s promising but not set in stone yet. It’s a bit too meaty for beginners at that size, but for the rest of us, it’s the one to pencil in.
The second week is a mixed bag. The 24th and 25th show some bigger NW swell (up to 7 ft on the 25th morning), but the wind is onshore, which is going to ruin the face. The 27th is the clear winner.
