The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Playa de Xago. The next few days are looking pretty rough. Saturday the 25th is a total washout – cross-onshore wind, risk of thunderstorms, and a tiny 2ft wave from the WNW with a 4-second period – barely any energy (31 on the scale). Not worth paddling out.
Sunday the 26th is still messy with a light cross-onshore breeze. Not great.
Monday the 27th – that’s the real standout. Monday morning is the best of the whole stretch. You’ll get a clean 5ft swell from the NNW, 10-second period, giving it some proper power. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the ENE, and the combined energy is a solid 500 – that’s proper juice. It’s going to be well-shaped and fun for the intermediate crowd. Water temp is about 67°, right where it should be for this time of year.
Tuesday the 28th morning is still decent with a 4ft NW swell, light cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions. After that, it drops off again through Wednesday and Thursday – weak, onshore winds and small surf. Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August have some glassy moments but the swell is tiny – 1.0ft to 3ft – so only for the longboard.
Sunday the 2nd of August morning offers a glassy 5ft swell from the north, with a short 7-second period, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but it’s clean. The real hidden gem is Wednesday the 5th of August morning. Glassy calm, 3ft from the WNW, 9-second period, and a combined energy of 200 – that’s a clean, fun little session. For a midweek dawn patrol, that’s a winner.
The last week gets iffy. The 9th of August Sunday sees a jump in size – 6ft to 7ft from the WNW – but with a short 7-8 second period and onshore wind, it’s going to be a messy, choppy close-out. Only for the die-hards.
Overall, the best surf is Monday morning the 27th and Wednesday morning the 5th of August. The rest is mostly small, weak, or wind-affected. The consistent breaks here mean it won’t stay poor forever, but for now, pick your windows carefully.
