Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a quiet spell to kick things off. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf for the first two weeks, with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The good news is the water temp is sittin' about average for this time of year, so at least it won't be a shock to the system when you do get in.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Monday, the 20th of July. Monday morning, we finally see a bump in energy with the combined energy of all swells directed here at a moderate 107. We're lookin' at a 3ft swell from the NW, and the wind is dead calm, glassy. That's the kind of start to the week that gets the heart goin'. The break is very consistent and exposed to the NW, with an optimum direction from NW as well, so things line up nicely. Just keep in mind that this spot can get crowded often, so get in early.
Monday afternoon the wind shifts onshore and messes things up a bit, but that morning window is your best bet for this whole outlook. It'll be a bit small for the crew on the longboards, but it's surfable.
Tuesday the 21st of July morning, the swell pushes up to 5ft from the NNW, with moderate energy (452). That's getting a bit more size, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it won't be as clean as Monday morning. That'll be one for the experienced crew.
All in all, between now and Monday the 20th, you're lookin' at a solid 14-day gap of near-flat conditions. Patience is the name of the game here. Focus your energy on that Monday morning glass-off – it’s the standout of the forecast.
Stay stoked,
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.
