Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the cards for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a tough stretch. For the first two weeks of the forecast, we're looking at a real flat spell. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and most days the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, making things messy. There's a lot of nothing in there, so don't be in a rush to grab your board.
Monday morning, July 13th, offers the first bit of hope. We've got a tiny 2ft swell from the north, but the real story is the glassy conditions with a light NE breeze. The combined energy is only 83 (weak), so it's not going to be powerful, but it'll be clean. The water's sitting at 67°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—about 2°F above average, so that's a nice little bonus.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. The swell drops to 2ft and below, with energy readings barely breaking 30. The wind does a bit of a dance, but it's mostly onshore or cross-shore through the rest of July and into the third week. There's a brief moment of clean conditions on Tuesday morning, July 22nd, with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still only 2ft from the NW and the energy is a weak 60. Just not enough to get excited about.
The real standout, and the only thing worth circling on the calendar, is Monday, July 27th. That morning, we finally see a jump in swell to 4ft from the WNW. The combined energy hits 249 (moderate), which is a big step up from everything else. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, keeping the surface clean. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it's windswell, not a groundswell, but it's the best wave we'll see all period. The afternoon holds similar size at 5ft with energy at 261, still clean, but the wind picks up a bit. This is your best bet, but it's a long way out, so don't lock it in just yet.
Playa de Xago is a very consistent spot, so it's a bit unusual to have such a long quiet run. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so the forecasts might change, but as it stands, you're waiting until July 27th for a proper session.
Rusty.
