The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.
It’s been a pretty quiet start, but we’ve got a few windows of cleaner conditions to get excited about. The first real action is shaping up for Thursday, August 6th, when a pulse of moderate energy (288) rolls in from the NNW. The morning will see clean 4ft waves with a 10-second period, and the wind is holding cross-off from the ENE at 9 mph. That’s a solid session for the intermediate crew. The afternoon stays clean too, with 4ft waves and similar wind, so you can get a good long session in. The water is sitting at 69°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The next standout morning is Tuesday, August 11th. The wind goes glassy, calm, and the swell is 3ft from the NNW with a 10-second period. The energy is moderate (217) and the waves will be clean and lined up. This is another one for the intermediate surfer. There’s a chance of a crowd though, as Playa de Xago can get busy, so get in early.
The big one, and the true standout of the whole period, looks like Sunday, August 16th. The morning session is glassy, calm, with a solid 6ft of NW swell. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it will be a bit lumpy and walled up, but the energy is strong (279). This is definitely for experienced surfers only – 6ft is getting too big for beginners. The afternoon drops a touch to 6ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, so the morning is the pick.
There’s a bit of a lull after the 11th, with only small stuff until the 16th, so don’t expect much in between. The very end of the period, around the 17th and 18th, has some wind and rain, so it’s not worth chasing.
So, to sum it up: Thursday the 6th is a good, clean start, Tuesday the 11th is a glassy gem, but Sunday the 16th is the one to circle on the calendar. Get out there.
