The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a pretty quiet start, I’m not gonna lie. The first proper surf we can talk about doesn’t show up until late in the first week. The water is running at 70°F right now, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a notable warm anomaly, so you’ll be shedding the wetsuit layers a bit earlier than normal.

The real action, and the standout window of the whole forecast, kicks off on the morning of Monday, July 27th. We’ve got a swell coming in from the NNW at 5ft, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a decent groundswell, and the winds are cross-off from the ENE at 9 mph. The combined energy is sitting at 356 (moderate wave energy), and the conditions are clean. This is a solid intermediate wave. The swell direction is NW, which is close to the optimum NW direction for this spot.

The next true highlight, and the one that looks the best on offer, lands on Wednesday, July 29th. For the morning session, it’s glassy – dead calm wind from the NE at just 3 mph. Swell is a clean 4ft from the NNW with a long 11-second period, giving it a bit more punch. The combined energy bumps up to 307 (moderate). The water is still warm, the winds are nil, and the lines will be clean. This is the session to mark.

We’ve got a few other mornings that are worth a paddle. Tuesday, July 28th morning has 4ft NW swell with cross-off winds, clean but a bit smaller. Then again, Sunday, August 2nd morning is glassy again with a 3ft WNW swell, and Monday, August 3rd morning has a 4ft NNW swell with clean cross-off winds. These are all decent, but that Wednesday the 29th is the pick.

After the first week of August, the swell really drops off. From the 4th onward, we’re looking at small, weak waves under 3ft and poor conditions. It’s a long, flat run to the end of the forecast window.

So, best bet: Wednesday, July 29th morning. Glassy conditions, 4ft groundswell from the NNW, and the water is warm. You don’t get better than that on this stretch.

Keep an eye on the 27th as a warm-up and the 2nd and 3rd of August as follow-ups, but the 29th is the one.

Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Xago Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Playa de Xago provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa de Xago can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Xago surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Playa de Xago) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Playa de Xago may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
