The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, the next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some swell rolling in, but it’s a real fight to find clean windows. The water is sitting at 70°F which is a solid 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or just boardies.
The standout is going to be Tuesday the 28th of July. The swell is hitting 5ft from the NW on a 10-second period, and the energy is solid at 520. The wind is light from the East, keeping it clean and cross-off at Playa de Xago. That’s the morning to aim for. The water is still warm, but the wind will be light, so it’s going to be a glassy session. Keep in mind this spot is very consistent, but the crowds are often there, so get in early.
Before that, we have some small windows. Monday morning the 20th is a write-off with a 5ft NNE swell but a short 7-second period and a moderate breeze making it choppy. The energy is only 263, so it’s weak. Tuesday the 21st morning has a cleaner look with a 5ft NNE swell and a light breeze, but it’s still short period. Wednesday the 22nd is small and ordinary. Thursday the 23rd has a glassy morning, but the swell is only 2ft. That’s a board-floater only.
After the 28th, the swell drops off. Wednesday the 29th still has a 5ft NW swell with a clean morning, but the energy is dropping to 366. Thursday the 30th is glassy again with a 4ft NW swell, good for a longboard. From the 31st of July through to the 4th of August, the swell hangs around 4ft to 5ft, and the wind is tricky. The 2nd of August is a write-off with onshore winds, and the 4th of August afternoon has a 5ft NW swell but a cross-on wind, making it a messy close-out.
For the long-range, Monday the 3rd of August morning has a 4ft NW swell with a light cross-off breeze and clean conditions. It’s a promising option, but it’s a week and a half out, so don’t lock it in just yet.
Overall, the best bet is the 28th of July morning. Get it while it’s clean.
Rusty.
