Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happenin’ at Playa de Xago for the next couple weeks. I’ll level with you – we’ve got a long stretch of flat or junk before things finally turn.
The start is dead. From now until around the end of the third week of July, don’t bother paddlin’ out. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, around 67°, but that’s the only thing that’s ordinary. There’s a big ol’ gap with no decent rideable waves until Wednesday, July 22nd. It’s one of those stretches where you just wait.
Wednesday morning, July 22nd, we finally get somethin’. A 4ft NW groundswell, period at 9 seconds, and glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze from the ENE. It’s small, but it’s clean. Combined wave energy is moderate at 238 – not huge, but it’s enough to get a few fun ones. Get out early because the afternoon brings a bit of cross-shore bump.
Thursday, July 23rd, the size jumps. Swell hits 8ft from the NNW with an 11-second period. That’s a big groundswell, and the combined energy is a massive 1462 – strong stuff. This is expert-only territory. The wind is light and cross-onshore in the mornin’, so it won’t be perfect, but the power is there for those who can handle it. At a beach setup, it might break a little straight, so take care.
Friday, July 24th, that’s the one to circle. Swell comes in at 6ft from the NNW, period 10 seconds, and glassy conditions in the morning. Clean, punchy, with a combined energy of 566. This is the best look of the whole outlook for most of us.
After that, it fades fast. Through the weekend and into next week, the swell drops below 3ft, and the winds get messy again. The very last days show cross-off breezes and clean conditions, but there’s no size left.
So bottom line – Friday morning, July 24th, is your standout. Glassy, solid waist-to-chest high, and good shape. Thursday the 23rd is for the big-wave crew. Otherwise, it’s a lot of waitin’ for not much.
Rusty out.
