G'day, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up, there's a dry spell to start. For the first few days, the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly onshore or messy, so you can leave the board in the garage. There's about a four-day gap before anything worth paddling for shows up.
The first real chance is on Saturday, July 11th in the morning. Playa de Xago will see a small 2-foot swell from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, which is a bit of a longer period groundswell. The energy is moderate (108) and the wind is a beautiful light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE. That's the kind of wind that'll keep the surface glassy. It's going to be clean, but the size is super small, so it's really for the longboarders or those happy to get a few grovelly ones. The water temp is about average for this time of year. This spot is very consistent and exposed to the NW, so it knows how to catch a pulse. It can get crowded here often, so if you're heading out, expect some company.
The rest of the week looks pretty ordinary. We get a bump in size on Sunday, July 12th with 3-foot waves, but the wind is straight onshore from the NW, and the period drops to a short, weak 6-9 seconds. That's just bumpy and weak – not worth the effort.
Now, the real standout window opens up later. Monday, July 21st is the one to circle on the calendar. The morning looks solid with a clean 5-foot swell from the NNW, an 8-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the east. The energy is strong (250) and the conditions are forecast to be good. This is the best size we've seen, and that clean cross-off wind will make for some nicely lined-up waves. The same spot, Playa de Xago, is the place to be. It's a solid intermediate wave at this size, and with the crowds being often, expect a few out there.
Thursday, July 24th is another interesting one. The swell is only 2 feet, but check out the period – 14 seconds! That's a very long period groundswell coming from the NW. The energy is moderate (218) and the wind is a clean cross-off from the east. Because the period is so long, the waves will have a lot of shape and push for the size, but they can throw a bit of a wall at the beach break. Look for a point or a reef if you can. It's a sneaky good day for a log.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The best surf is definitely on Monday, July 21st for the best combo of size, energy, and clean wind. Keep an eye on Thursday, July 24th for that long-period groundswell if you're a fan of drawn-out lines. The rest is just a waiting game.
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.

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.
