The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Playa de Xago. There’s a bit of a slow start, but the second half of the run has some real potential. The water is running at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit might be a little more comfortable than usual.
The first proper surfable day doesn’t really kick in until Monday the 7th. We’ve got a few days before that, Saturday and Sunday, that are pretty much write-offs with poor conditions and onshore wind. So, hold tight.
Monday the 7th dawns clear with glassy conditions. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the WNW with a 13-second period, a proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 422. It’s not huge, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be clean and fun for an intermediate. The glass holds into Tuesday the 8th morning, with a similar 3 ft WNW swell, though the period drops to 10 seconds and energy to 204. Still a decent morning session.
Thursday the 10th is a standout. We’ve got glassy conditions all day. The swell is 4 ft from the NNW in the morning, dropping to 4 ft in the afternoon, with a 10-second period. The energy is a solid 352 in the morning. It’s clean, the wind is right, and the swell direction is spot on the optimum from the NW. This is the pick of the first week.
Friday the 11th morning is also glassy, with a 5 ft NW swell at 9 seconds and energy of 310. It’s good, but the morning is the window before the wind shifts onshore in the afternoon.
The surf then drops off a little. Saturday the 12th is small, and Sunday the 13th sees a return of the NW swell. The morning of the 13th is clean with a 4 ft, 11-second swell and energy of 369. It’s a solid option.
Now, if you can wait, the real standout is Wednesday the 16th. The morning session is looking excellent. We’ve got a 5 ft NW swell with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 629. The wind is a light cross-offshore, leaving it clean. This is the best wave height and energy of the whole run, and the direction is perfect. It’s a little too big for beginners, but for an intermediate, this is the session to circle.
The energy drops off after that. Thursday the 17th morning is glassy with a 4 ft NW swell, and then it fades into smaller, cleaner but weaker surf through to the end of the run. There’s a gap from the 18th afternoon onwards where the swell gets too small for a proper wave.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is the morning of Wednesday the 16th for the biggest, cleanest swell. For a solid, clean session with better consistency, the morning of Thursday the 10th is a ripper. Get on it.
