Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de Xago over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Playa de Xago.
Honestly, the next 16 days are a bit of a flat spell for the most part. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and ordinary conditions. The first real highlight worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Monday, July 20th, and even then, it’s more about the best of a quiet bunch.
The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, coming in at 68°.
Monday, July 13th kicks things off with small 2ft swell from the north, but it’s weak – only 87 combined energy. The morning holds some clean-ish cross-off wind, but the surf is just ordinary.
Tuesday through Thursday are tiny, with heights barely reaching 2ft and energy dropping into the 20s and 30s. The wind is messy, swinging from cross-off to glassy, but there’s no push.
Friday, July 17th through to Sunday, July 19th is a near-total write-off. Swell drops to 0.7ft or 1ft. Even the glassy morning on Saturday with 1ft and 17 energy is barely a ripple.
Then, Monday, July 20th finally brings a pulse. The morning shows 4ft from the north-northeast, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 145 (moderate), and the wind is clean cross-off from the east. It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s still just “surfable.” The afternoon gets blown out by a moderate breeze, so hit the early session.
Tuesday, July 21st morning has 3ft from the NNE again, clean, but the energy is back down to 56. Not worth a special trip.
The rest of the window into the second week stays small. Wednesday, July 22nd through Sunday, July 26th sees more of the same: tiny waves from the NW, mostly under 3ft, with clean mornings but weak energy. The afternoon of Sunday, July 26th shows a bump to 4ft from the NW with 193 energy, but the wind is onshore, making it messy.
The final days, Monday, July 27th and Tuesday, July 28th, are small and marginal. The 27th morning has glassy 3ft from the NW (106 energy), but it’s just not enough to get excited about.
The standout call: If you’re itching for a wave, the only real window is Monday, July 20th morning. The 4ft NNE swell with clean cross-off wind is the biggest, cleanest combo on offer. Don’t expect much—it’s short period and very ordinary—but it’s the best of a quiet spell.
Rusty.
