The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Playa de Xago. It’s a bit of a slow burn, if I’m honest. The water’s sitting at 69.3°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no drama there.
The first few days are pretty flat and messy. Wednesday the 5th has a tiny 2ft swell with a short 7-second period, and while the morning is glassy, it’s just not doing much. The energy is weak at 57, so you’re not missing anything. Thursday the 6th kicks up a little to 3.3ft but the wind is cross-offshore and the period is still short. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Friday and Saturday are worse—dropping right off. There’s a real gap here where it just looks like a lake. From Saturday the 8th through to Monday the 10th, there are a couple of glassy mornings, but the swell is small and the energy is weak. Sunday the 9th has a bit more period, 10 seconds, but it’s still only 2ft. You’d be scratching for anything.
The best of the first week is probably Monday the 10th morning. It’s glassy, the swell has picked up a touch to 2.3ft, and the period is a bit longer at 9 seconds. The energy is moderate at 148. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s clean. The afternoons are a write-off with cross-onshore winds.
The middle of the week is more of the same—small, short-period slop. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s not worth the paddle. There’s a slight bump on the 15th with 3.3ft and 10-second period, but the wind is straight on, so it’ll be lumpy. The energy is moderate at 186, but it’s not clean.
Now, the real standout is shaping up for the 19th of August. That’s the one to circle. The morning of Wednesday the 19th looks proper. We’ve got a 4.3ft NW swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE. It’s clean. The energy is strong at 341. This is the best of the whole run. The afternoon stays fun too, with 4.6ft on the push, but the wind goes a bit cross-shore, so the morning is the call. The swell direction is NW, which matches the optimum for the break perfectly.
The 20th backs off a bit, back to 3.6ft and a shorter 8-second period. It’s still surfable, but it’s not the same quality.
So, there you have it. A lot of average days, a couple of glassy small ones, but the standout is definitely the morning of the 19th. Get on it if you can.
