The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Playa de Xago. It’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead, but there are a few windows where it could be worth a paddle.
Right off the bat, the water temp is sitting at 68°, which is right on the usual for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.
The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 31st is dead flat and glassy, but the swell is a tiny 2ft from the NW with only 8 seconds between waves. The energy is a measly 28 (weak). It’s just not doing anything. Saturday and Sunday are the same story – small, weak, and mostly messy. You’ll be sitting on your board doing nothing.
Monday the 3rd of August offers a slight glimmer. The morning is glassy, with a 1ft WNW swell, but the period is 10 seconds, which is decent. The energy is still weak (54), but those glassy conditions mean it’ll be clean and tidy for a longboard or a foiler. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best you’ll see for a few days.
The next real hope comes much later, on Saturday the 9th of August. The morning shapes up nicely with a 2ft WNW swell, period of 8 seconds, and cross-off winds from the E. The combined energy hits 76, which is still weak, but it’s the cleanest surf of the whole period. The swell direction is NW, which is the optimum for the break. This is the pick of the bunch – a small, clean, fun little session.
Tuesday the 11th of August sees a jump in period to 11 seconds, with a 2ft NNW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s a bit choppy. The energy is 95 (still weak), and the conditions rob it of any real quality.
The very last chance is on Wednesday the 12th of August. The morning is glassy with a 2ft NNW swell, 8-second period, and energy of 70. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Honestly, the standout is the morning of August 9th. It’s not big, but it’s clean, the wind is right, and the swell is aimed at the break. Expect crowds though – this break gets busy often, and that’s the only decent session in a long stretch.
The rest of the 16 days is a mix of tiny, onshore, or just plain weak waves. You’ll be waiting a lot for very little.
Rusty.
