The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window for Playa de Xago, and honestly, the first week is a bit of a grind. The first few days are a write-off unless you’re desperate for a paddle. The real action starts to build towards the end of the month and into the first few days of August.

The water is sitting at 71°F with a 4°F anomaly, which is much warmer than we’d expect for this time of year. That’s a real treat for the first session you get into.

Looking at the run, Monday the 20th through to the morning of Thursday the 23rd is a no-go. We’ve got small, weak, short-period windswell with cross-offshore winds that are just too strong, making it messy. The wave energy is only around 420 on Monday afternoon, which is moderate, but the 7ft of NE swell at a short 7 seconds is just lumpy and unappealing. You’re better off waiting.

Thursday morning, the 23rd, sees a tiny blip of 3ft from the NE with a 6-second period, but the wind is onshore and the energy is weak at 80. That’s a solid pass. From Thursday afternoon all the way through to the morning of Monday the 27th, it’s a desert. The surf is tiny, mostly under 3ft, with poor onshore winds. We’re talking a full three-day gap with nothing worthwhile.

Then things start to stir. Monday morning, the 27th of July, we get a pulse of NNW groundswell at 5ft with a 10-second period. The energy jumps to 480 (moderate) and the wind is a clean cross-off from the ENE. This is the first real chance to get wet. The waves will have a bit more shape and power, but it’s still not the standout of the forecast.

The next few days, the 28th and 29th, keep the NNW swell running at 4ft to 4ft with the same 10-second period. The real gem is the morning of Wednesday the 29th. The wind goes glassy, flat calm, with the swell at 4ft from the NNW. The energy is solid at 343 (moderate). That’s clean, lined-up surf, perfect for an intermediate surfer. This is one of the best windows in the first half of the outlook.

But hold on. The true standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is the first two days of August. Saturday morning, the 1st of August, we’ve got a 6ft NW swell, 10-second period, and a glassy wind. The energy is pumping at 585 (strong). That’s going to be a proper session—clean, powerful, and very consistent. The crowds are likely at Playa de Xago, so get there early.

Sunday morning, the 2nd of August, is the absolute peak. A 7ft NW swell, still with a 9-second period, and glassy conditions again. The energy is through the roof at 1166 (very strong). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. For the average weekend warrior, it’s going to be a handful, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, it’s a dream. The swell direction matches the spot’s preferred NW window perfectly. After that, the swell fades quickly, and we’re back to small, weak conditions from Monday the 3rd onwards.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a wash. The morning of Wednesday the 29th is a solid, clean option. The absolute best on offer is the morning of Saturday the 1st and especially Sunday morning the 2nd of August. That’s where you want to be. The long-range call is promising, but as always, keep an eye on it.

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.
