The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming up.
Alright, honest truth – the next week or so is a bit of a tough stretch. We've got a lot of small, junky swell and messy wind. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing.
The only real spark of life in the whole 16-day window hits us on Monday, July 27th. Playa de Xago finally wakes up. A solid NNW groundswell pushes in at 6ft, with a 10-second period, which gives it a bit of punch. The combined energy is moderate (555). The real kicker is the wind – a clean cross-offshore breeze from the ENE. That's going to groom the faces nicely. It's a consistent spot, so you'll get waves. The morning session is the pick with a score that says "very good," but Monday afternoon is still solid. The swell is a touch over 5ft, so it's probably a bit much for the real beginners, but for the intermediates, this is the one to circle. Just keep in mind that crowds are likely here, so get out early.
After that, Tuesday the 28th hangs in there with a smaller but still clean 4ft NW swell and the same clean cross-offshore wind. It's a solid follow-up day.
The rest of the run is lean. The first week is mostly blown out or tiny. We get a little window of glassy conditions on Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August, but the swell is only 2ft and weak. It's a flat spell. You'll see a few clean but small days from the 2nd to the 4th, but the combined energy is barely scraping 89. It's a long wait for the next little pulse of NE swell around the 5th of August, but the wind turns cross-shore and messy, making it poor for surfing.
The long-range stuff is a promise, not a guarantee. Keep an eye on that Monday the 27th.
Rusty.
