The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and Fahrenheit. Looking at the next 16 days for Playa de Xago, it’s a rough outlook. A long, dry spell is coming, so don’t rush.
The water is a normal 68°, so no thermal surprises. But the surf? Man, it’s a ghost town. There’s a big gap with no real action from Wednesday, July 29th, all the way through to about August 8th. That’s almost a week and a half of flat, weak, or blown-out junk. The wave energy is mostly in the weak range, barely cracking triple digits.
The only window that looks even remotely rideable is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. We get a glassy, clean surface with a light east breeze. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the west, with a short 8-second period. The energy is a weak 44. It’s “surfable but very ordinary.” You might get a few soft, knee-high sliders if you’re really keen.
Then, come Sunday, August 9th, the swell actually tries to build. We see a push of 4ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and the energy hits 246 (moderate). But the wind is straight onshore from the NW at 12 mph, ruining it. It’s a real shame because there’s power there, but the wind will chop it up. That day looks more like a kiteboarding session than a surf session.
The second week stays weak: small, short-period windswell with poor winds. Tuesday, August 11th afternoon has a 4ft NE swell but with a tiny 6-second period and onshore wind. It’s a bumpy, messy mess.
For Playa de Xago, this is a proper flat spell. No standout days. If you’re desperate, the only slim chance is the morning of Saturday, August 8th for some tiny, clean ankle-biters. Otherwise, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
