The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, for a spot called Playa de Xago that's exposed to the NW swell, it's looking like a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We've got a long run of small, weak, and messy conditions on the cards. The forecast shows a gap of surfable, but unremarkable, days starting from Sunday afternoon, August 9th, with waves around 2 ft from the NW but with a cross-on wind. The energy is low, only about 107 (moderate energy). The water is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year.

The real story here is the waiting game. There are a few windows where the wind goes glassy, like Monday morning, August 10th, and Tuesday morning, August 11th, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft and 2 ft respectively, with very low energy. You'll get a few knee-high crumbles, but nothing to get excited about. The same pattern holds true through the middle of the month—small NW swells, often with onshore or cross-shore winds.

The combined energy values are mostly in the two-digit range, meaning weak conditions, with a few blips into the low hundreds, like 130 on Saturday the 15th, but that's accompanied by onshore rain and a short period of 8 seconds, so it's messy.

The best bet I can see, and it's a long way off, is on Monday, August 24th. The morning session looks like the standout. We're looking at a clean window with light cross-off winds from the ESE, a solid 3 ft NW swell with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 311 (strong wave energy). That's the biggest pulse of the whole forecast. The afternoon holds up at 4 ft and 377 energy, though the wind picks up to a 9 mph cross-off, so the morning is the pick.

Because it's a long-range call, it's a promising one but we'll have to keep an eye on it. It's the only time in the 16 days where the numbers really come together for a clean, decent-sized wave. Before that, it's a lot of small, ordinary conditions. The break is very consistent, so it's not a matter of *if* it will break, but *when* it will have a good day. This looks like that day.
