The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Playa de Xago.

The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got a couple of windows that are worth circling on the calendar. Right now, the surf is small and messy, but a real standout is shaping up for Monday the 27th, and there’s a fun pulse of longer-period swell to close out July.

First up, tomorrow morning, Tuesday the 21st. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the NNE, with a short 7-second period. Combined energy is moderate (215). The wind is cross-offshore from the ENE at 15 km/h, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but those short intervals mean the waves will be a bit fat and less powerful. It’s a gentle start. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.

Tuesday afternoon the swell bumps up to 7ft from the NE, but the wind jumps to 19 mph, making it a real battle. Not worth it.

Wednesday morning, the 22nd, drops to 4ft from the NNE, still short period, clean cross-off breeze. It’s ordinary but rideable. Afternoon sees a bit more size at 5ft, but the wind picks up again.

Thursday and Friday the 23rd and 24th are flat and poor. Swell under 3ft, onshore wind, and energy values dropping into the double digits. Forget it. That gap of poor conditions stretches through Saturday and Sunday as well, with wind onshore and small, weak swell.

Now, here’s the first real highlight. Monday morning, the 27th of July. The swell jumps to 6ft from the NNW, with a 9-second period. Combined energy is strong (480). The wind goes glassy—dead calm from the SSW, 3 mph. That’s a major positive. This is the best-looking session of the first week. The waves will have some punch, and with glassy conditions, Playa de Xago will be clean and lined up. This is for intermediate surfers—the 6ft is solid but not a monster.

Tuesday morning the 28th is still decent: 4ft from the NNW, 9-second period, clean cross-off breeze. A good follow-up session, but not as strong as Monday.

Then we hit another dry spell. Wednesday through Thursday morning is small and weak, with onshore winds returning.

But get this—Friday morning, the 31st of July, is another standout. The swell is only 3ft from the NW, but the period stretches to a very long 12 seconds. Combined energy is moderate (303). The wind is glassy from the NNE at 3 mph. This is a proper groundswell. The long period means the waves will have real shape and power for their size, but it’s not a lot of height. It’s a great option for a longboard or a fish, and the glassy conditions will make it feel like a private session. Watch out—crowds are possible here.

Saturday afternoon, the 1st of August, the swell builds to 6ft from the NW, 10-second period, with onshore wind. The energy is strong (513), but the wind is onshore, so it’ll be lumpy. For the experts, it might be worth a look, but it’s not clean.

After that, the first week of August slides back into tiny, weak surf with glassy mornings but no real push. The 5th of August shows a tiny 2ft, 8-second swell with glassy conditions. It’s barely rideable.

So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is Monday morning, the 27th of July, with solid 6ft, clean glass, and good energy. The second standout is the long-period, glassy morning on Friday the 31st of July—small but pure. The rest of the window is mostly flat or windy, so pick your moments.

Rusty out.

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.
