The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break it down. The next 16 days at Playa de Xago is a game of patience. The first chunk of the forecast is a total flat spell until the 20th of July.
From the 15th through the 19th, the swell is tiny. We’re talking 1ft to 3ft of weak windswell, with combined energy readings between 15 and 77 – that’s barely a bump. The wind is mostly light or cross-onshore, but the waves are just not there. Thursday morning the 16th is glassy, but with a 1ft, 5-second swell from the NNE, it’s barely a knee-high dribble. Don’t bother.
The 20th of July is the first real pulse. The combined swell energy jumps to 327 (moderate energy) early Monday morning, with clean 6ft swell from the NNE, period 7 seconds, and the wind is glassy. That’s the standout. The waves will be a bit short-period, but with those conditions, Playa de Xago will be clean and fun for intermediates. The water temperature is 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year. Crowds are possible here often, so you’ll want to be early.
Monday afternoon sees the swell push to 6ft from the NE, combined energy hitting 606 (strong energy), but the wind is a clean cross-offshore at 25 km/h. That’s bigger, and at 6ft, it starts to get serious for beginners. The 7-second period keeps it a bit lumpy, but the clean wind will make it rideable.
Tuesday the 21st is still solid. The morning has 6ft swell from the NNE, energy at 296, and light offshore east wind. It’s similar to Monday morning, just a touch smaller. Still a good call, just not the top pick.
After the 21st, the swell backs off. By the 22nd, we’re back to 3ft and weak energy. The long-range window from the 23rd onward is uninspiring. There’s a small bump on the 25th and 26th with 4ft to 4ft from the N/NW, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore from the west, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy climbs to 230 on the 26th, but the wind kills it. It’s more of a kite day than a paddle day.
The very end of the run, from the 27th to the 30th, fades to nothing again. Tiny waves, low energy, and a few days of glassy conditions on the 30th, but the swell is just 0.7ft. No good.
Bottom line: your best bet is the morning of the 20th of July. That’s your real window. Clean, glassy, 6ft from the NNE with moderate energy. Tuesday morning the 21st is a solid backup. After that, it’s a long wait for anything worth paddling for.
Rusty.
