The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Playa de Xago over the next 16 days.
Straight up, it’s a slow start. The first week is pretty flat and weak—tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, and the wind isn’t doing us any favours. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the ocean feels nice, but there’s just no push. You’ll be staring at a lake for the first few days.
The first real glimmer shows up on the morning of Monday 20 July. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the NE, period around 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (344). Winds are light cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. It’s a bit of a jump in size, but the surf quality is only marginal—tide or conditions might be a bit tricky. Still, it’s the first sign of life.
Things start to build through the end of the first week. The morning of Tuesday 21 July sees 5ft from the NE, glassy conditions, and moderate energy (173). It’s ordinary but surfable. The afternoon picks up to 5ft with clean cross-off winds and moderate energy (250). Again, nothing special, but it’s rideable.
The standout in this whole outlook is clearly the morning of Thursday 30 July. That’s over a week away, so some caution is needed, but it’s the best bet by far. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNW, with a long period of 11 seconds—that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is strong at 533. Winds are light cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Expect good shape and decent power. The water will still be a touch warmer than average.
The afternoon of the 30th drops off a bit quality-wise, but still has 5ft from the NNW with cross-shore winds.
Crowds at Playa de Xago can be a factor, so if you’re heading out for that Thursday morning, get in early.
Overall, it’s a long wait, but there’s a proper session to be had right at the end of the forecast. The rest is small and ordinary.
