The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off just yet. The opening weekend is a mixed bag. Saturday the 5th sees some size—5ft to 6ft of NW swell—but there’s a tricky cross-off wind that’s going to mess with the surface. The energy is there, with a combined swell energy of 872, but the quality just isn’t there. Sunday the 6th is a write-off with onshore winds and dropping swell, so you’re better off waiting.

The first real standout fires up on Wednesday morning, the 9th of September. This is the one to circle. We’re looking at 6ft of clean NNW groundswell with a period of 13 seconds, and the wind is glassy. That’s a recipe for some serious, clean, powerful waves. The combined energy hits 1180, so there’s heaps of grunt. This is for the experienced crew—it’s gonna be a proper session. The afternoon holds up too, with a clean cross-off breeze and still 6ft of swell. Water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so a spring suit will be fine.

After that, things settle down. Thursday the 10th has a glassy morning with 5ft of NNW swell, but it’s not quite as strong. The second week gets pretty quiet. There’s a brief window on Sunday the 13th with a glassy 4ft of NW swell, and again on Monday the 14th morning with glassy 3ft, but the energy is low. From the 15th onwards, it’s mostly small, poor, and onshore—not worth paddling out for.

The very end of the run, on Friday the 18th of September, offers a tiny glimmer: a glassy morning with a 2ft NNW swell but a very long 14-second period, giving a combined energy of 250. It’s small, but it could be fun if you’ve got a log. The afternoon brings a bit more size at 4ft, but the wind goes cross-shore. It’s not a standout, just a maybe.

So, to sum it up: your best bet is Wednesday the 9th. That’s the day. Get 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.
