The Lowdown

Gather 'round, surfers. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Playa de Xago has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, the ocean is flat. No two ways about it: we've got a run of tiny, weak waves through the weekend and into the start of next week. The water is sitting at 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath, that's for sure.

The first real whisper of life shows up on Monday, July 20th. The morning brings a clean 5 ft swell from the NNE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (301), and the wind is a light cross-offshore. It's a start, but it's not the kind of thing you'd set your alarm for. The afternoon picks up a bit to 6 ft, but the wind jumps to a moderate breeze, so it's a bit messy.

Things get a little more interesting on Tuesday, July 21st, with a morning session of 5 ft from the NE, but again, the wind is the enemy. By Wednesday, July 22nd, we're back to the same story: small, ordinary waves.

Then we hit a dry patch. From Thursday, July 23rd, right through to Tuesday, July 29th, it's a stretch of poor conditions. The swell is tiny, and the wind is blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the NW. Not worth paddling out for.

Now, here's where it gets good. The first true standout of the period is Wednesday, July 30th. The morning shows a clean 4 ft swell from the NNW, with a nice 10-second period. The energy is moderate (345), and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE. It's a proper surfable wave.

But the real gem is Friday, July 31st. The morning session is an absolute cracker. We're looking at a clean 6 ft swell from the NNW, with a 10-second period. The energy is strong (613), and the wind is a light cross-offshore. This is likely the best of the run.

And then, to top it all off, Saturday, August 1st, offers a glassy morning session. The swell is a solid 5 ft from the NNW, period stretching to 11 seconds – a nice groundswell. The energy is strong (608), and the wind is glassy from the SSW. That's as clean as it gets. This is the one to circle on the calendar, but being a week and a half out, just keep an eye on the forecasts.

The afternoon of Saturday, August 1st, and all of Sunday, August 2nd, fall back into poor conditions, with onshore winds and messy surf.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The standout windows are the mornings of Wednesday, July 30th, and Friday, July 31st, with the real prize being the glassy morning of Saturday, August 1st. Playa de Xago is a very consistent spot, so it's a bit of a bummer to have this long gap, but it won't stay quiet forever. The crowds are often here, so for those standout days, expect some company.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Playa de Xago can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
