The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into the local outlook for our region.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but things start to build through the middle of the week and into the next one. The water is sitting at a balmy 70° right now, which is a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
The first real chance to get wet comes Monday morning, July 20th. Playa de Xago will see a clean 5ft swell from the NNE with a light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is building (292), but it’s nothing massive. It’s a solid intermediate option to kick things off. By Monday afternoon the wind picks up, so the morning is the call.
Tuesday morning, July 21st, offers another clean session with 5ft from the NNE and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The energy is a bit lower (226), but still rideable. The afternoons get a bit fresh with the wind, so keep an eye on the morning windows.
Now, keep your eyes peeled for Wednesday morning, July 29th. That’s the standout in the first week. Playa de Xago will have glassy conditions with a 4ft groundswell rolling in from the NNW at 11 seconds. The energy is solid (408) and those light winds will have it looking clean. It’s an intermediate-friendly wave, so it’s a good one to circle on the calendar.
The real gem of the whole forecast, though, is Thursday morning, July 30th. This is the best on offer. Expect a clean 5ft swell from the NNW with a light cross-offshore breeze and a very strong wave energy reading (521). The conditions are set up for some proper fun waves. It’s a bit more size, so it’s great for intermediates and up. If you can get out that morning, do it.
The following week into early August sees a drop-off. The swell fades, and we get a lot of small, weak days with energy readings dropping below 100. From the 31st of July through to the 3rd of August, it’s mostly small and poor, with a few glassy moments but nothing worth planning a session around. There’s a gap of several days there with no real recommendations.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
