Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Playa de Xago.

Right off the bat, the first week is a bit of a slow burn. The good news is that the water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than what you’d usually expect for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus. The bad news is that we’re looking at a long stretch of small, ordinary waves before anything really gets going.

We start with a tease on Thursday morning, July 9th. The swell is only 2ft from the WNW, but the wind is glassy, dead calm out of the NNE. The combined energy is weak at 66, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’ll be clean. That’s pretty much the only bright spot for a while. After that, we hit a dry spell. Friday afternoon has another glassy moment on the 10th with the same 2ft WNW swell and a glassy NNW wind, but the energy is still low (85). Saturday morning the 11th brings a glassy start with a 2ft NW swell, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, which is a nice groundswell, and the energy ticks up to 108. Still, it’s small.

Then we get a real gap. From Sunday the 12th through to the morning of Saturday the 18th, there’s nothing really worth paddling out for. The waves stay tiny, the wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the scores are all terrible. That’s a solid week of poor conditions.

The first real standout comes on Saturday morning, July 18th. The swell is still only 2ft, but it’s from the WNW with a long 11-second period, so it’ll have a bit of push. The wind is offshore from the ENE, making it clean. The combined energy is 71, so it’s weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen in days. The break is very consistent, so you can expect a few rides. Just keep in mind Playa de Xago is exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is NW, so this WNW swell is a decent match.

The next notable window is Sunday morning, July 19th. The swell holds at 2ft from the WNW, but the wind is dead calm (0 mph) and glassy. That’s a rare treat—clean, glassy surf, even if it’s small. The consistency is still there, so you can pick off a few.

Now, the real standout is on Thursday, July 23rd, into Friday, July 24th. Thursday afternoon sees a 3ft swell from the NNW with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy jumps to 377, which is strong to very strong (moderate energy). That’s a proper groundswell. The downside is the wind is cross-onshore from the NNW, so it won’t be clean. But the energy is there. Then Friday morning, July 24th, is the best call of the whole 16-day window. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NW, with an 11-second period and a combined energy of 544. That’s strong wave energy. The wind is onshore from the WNW, which is a bummer, but it’s a light breeze. The break is very consistent, so you’ll get waves. This is a solid swell, but at 5ft, it’s getting a bit big for beginners. The NW direction is a perfect match for the optimum swell direction. This is the one to aim for.

After that, Friday afternoon and the rest of the period fades back into smaller, wind-affected surf.

So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a bust. The standout is Friday morning, July 24th, with that 5ft NW swell. That’s your best bet. The Saturday morning, July 18th, and Sunday morning, July 19th, are decent for a clean, small session if you’re desperate.

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.
