The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty flat and ordinary, with only tiny, weak swell. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a nice paddle even if the waves aren't cooperating.
The first real glimmer of hope, and the standout of the whole forecast, shows up on Wednesday, August 19th. The morning starts with a glassy surface and a building swell from the NNW pushing 6ft, with a solid 408 combined energy. By the afternoon, it really cleans up with a cross-off breeze and the swell bumps up to 6ft from the NNW, period 10 seconds, and the energy jumps to 688. That’s a proper pulse of groundswell. The wind is light and offshore, so the waves will be clean and well-shaped. This is the session to clear your schedule for. The crowd factor at Playa de Xago is "often", so expect some company, but on a day like this, it’ll be worth it.
Thursday the 20th still has some size, with 6ft from the N in the morning, but the wind is stronger and the quality drops. The afternoon sees the wind howling at 19 mph, making it messy. Tuesday the 18th has a morning of glassy conditions with 4ft from the NW and 186 energy, but it’s a bit weak and inconsistent feeling. The Sunday the 23rd morning has a glassy 3ft from the NW, but it's very small.
Beyond that initial burst, the surf tapers off quickly. By the end of the second week, we're back to tiny, weak swells with onshore winds. The 21st of August through the 23rd is mostly a write-off unless you’re after a flat-water paddle.
So, in short: the first week or so is a dud. The main event is Wednesday, August 19th. Get on it.
Rusty.
