The Lowdown
Alright, mate, let's talk about Playa de Xago. The water’s sitting at about 70.2°F right now, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real treat, like stepping into a warm bath. The next couple of weeks are a mixed bag, with a slow start, a few promising windows, and a long dry spell in the middle.
Right now, Sunday morning, July 19, it’s flat and weak – only 1 foot of NW swell with a short 9-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 28. Light cross-off wind but the surf is poor. Sunday afternoon stays small and messy. No point paddling out.
Monday morning, July 20, things wake up. Swell jumps to 5 feet from the NNE, period 7 seconds – still a bit short, but the wind is glassy, dead calm, so the surface will be clean. Combined energy hits 279 (moderate). It’s a fun size for intermediates, though the short period means it’ll be a bit mushy. Monday afternoon gets bigger – 6.6 feet from the NE, period 8 seconds, energy 461 – but the wind picks up to 16 mph cross-off, making it choppy. Marginal.
Tuesday morning, July 21, offers similar 5-foot NNE swell, clean cross-off wind, good energy (227). Another decent session. But Tuesday afternoon gets blown out again with strong cross-off wind.
Wednesday morning, July 22, drops to 4.3 feet but glassy conditions – a nice clean morning if you’re after small waves. The week continues with small swells and mostly poor conditions through Thursday and Friday. From Friday afternoon, July 24, through to Tuesday, July 28, it’s a real desert – no surf worth mentioning. Days of tiny, onshore slop. That’s a solid five-day gap.
Then the real standout arrives: Wednesday morning, July 29. Swell jumps to 5.9 feet from the NNW, period 12 seconds – a proper groundswell that’ll wrap in nicely. Energy is 843, strong. Wind is light easterly at 6 mph, cross-off, so the waves will be clean and lined up. This is the best on offer – expect very good surf conditions. The direction is close to the optimum NW, so the break should fire. Wednesday afternoon drops
