The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I've been studying the charts for your local spot, Playa de Xago. Let's get into it.

The water is sitting at about 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a bad start.

The outlook is a bit of a slow burn with a real highlight later on. We’re going to have to be patient through the first few days. Thursday the 10th is where we get our first real taste. It’s nothing massive, a clean 5ft from the NNW with a 10-second period and a light offshore breeze out of the ESE. Wave energy is moderate (377). It’s a clean little window for an intermediate on a longboard.

Then Friday morning the 11th is even smaller, 3ft from the NW, but glassy offshore conditions. It’s just very ordinary, nothing to write home about. Things get pretty quiet over the weekend, with small, short-period swell that’s not worth paddling out for.

The real action kicks off on Sunday morning the 13th. This is your first proper call. We get a solid 5ft from the NW (785 energy), with a nice 12-second period. The wind is a cross-off from the ENE and the conditions are clean. This is the best swell of the first week – solid, clean, and consistent. This is the window you want to hit.

We get another clean morning on the 14th with a 4ft NW swell, but it's a step down from Sunday.

Then there's a poor stretch through the 15th and 16th with onshore winds and weak swell. Stay home.

Now, for the standout of the whole 16-day window, look to Thursday the 17th. This one is special. We have a clean 5ft from the NW, a nice 11-second period, and the wind is absolutely glassy offshore from the NE. The wave energy is strong at 618, and conditions are described as glassy. This is the best chance for clean, lined-up waves of the whole run.

The glassy conditions show up again on Saturday the 20th on the morning session, with a 4ft NW swell, but it’s not quite the same size or consistency as the 17th.

Be warned, Sunday the 21st gets big. The forecast shows a 13ft to 15ft pulse from the NNW. That is a monster. The wind is fine, but that's for experts with a death wish or a jet ski. Absolutely not a place for any regular surfer.

That big swell drops back on Tuesday the 22nd morning to a much more manageable 6ft from the NW with a clean 12-second period. Energy is still very high (1891), so it will be powerful but it’s a much better size for experienced surfers.

To sum up:
- This Sunday the 13th morning is your clean, solid, consistent session.
- Thursday the 17th is your absolute best bet for glassy, lined-up conditions with good power.

The rest of the fortnight is a mix of small stuff and poor wind.

Stay frothy.

Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Xago Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Playa de Xago provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa de Xago can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Xago surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Playa de Xago) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
