The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Looking at the next 16 days for Playa de Xago, it’s a tough one. You’re gonna need a lot of patience. The first real, rideable surf doesn’t show up until Sunday the 10th of August, and even then, it’s nothing special. The start of August is flat to tiny and messy. There's a solid week of "leave the board at home" with most days delivering waves under 2 feet and either glassy but tiny or crummy cross-onshore slop. That 2-foot swell on Sunday the 2nd goes glassy early, but the energy is weak (37), and the call is "poor surf conditions." Hard pass.
The one window worth talking about is early on Sunday the 10th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best on offer. The morning glass-off gives you a 4 foot swell from the north, with a period around 7 seconds and weak energy (120). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temp is about 69°, which is average for this time of year, so no wetsuit worries. This spot sees plenty of company, so expect a few others out there. The wind comes from the east-northeast at 3 mph and glassy, giving you clean conditions on that weak wind swell. The ideal swell for this break is from the west-northwest, so a north swell is a bit off the mark, but it's the best you'll get.
After that, it dries right up again into tiny, poor-quality waves through the middle of the month. There's a little pulse on the 16th pushing 4 feet from the north, but the wind is cross-onshore, which will mess it up. Honestly, the whole 16 days is a bust. For a break that’s usually very consistent, this is a rough stretch of flat and cruddy conditions. It’s not a typical dead spell for the area; it’s just a bad run of luck. Hang tight and check back, forecasts can flip.
Rusty.
