The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for you at Playa de Xago. It starts slow, but once the ocean wakes up, there are a couple of sessions you do not want to miss.
Water temp is running 70°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can go a little lighter on the wetsuit.
Saturday 12th is a weak start. Morning has puny 2ft WNW swell with 65 combined energy and a cross-off breeze. It’s surfable but nothing to get excited about. Sunday 13th is where we get our first real pulse – 5ft of NW groundswell with a 12 second period, energy jumps to 590. Light cross-off wind makes it clean and fun for the intermediate crowd. A solid session.
Monday 14th holds around 3ft to 4ft, still clean, still worthwhile. Tuesday 15th is a write-off with onshore wind and chop.
Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th have building swell – up to 5ft on Thursday morning (604 energy) – but the wind is cross or cross-on with ripples. The energy is there, but the surface is messy.
Friday 18th morning is a hidden gem. Offshore wind, a 3ft NNW groundswell at 14 seconds, and 554 energy. Clean, lined-up waves. Friday afternoon jumps to 7ft (1997 energy) but the wind goes cross-shore.
The standout session is Saturday 19th morning. A solid 6ft of NW swell at 13 seconds, 1249 energy, and light cross-off ESE wind. Excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one to aim for.
Sunday 20th drops to 4ft, still clean in the morning.
Monday 21st is a monster. 8ft of NNW groundswell at 14 seconds, 2181 combined energy, and a light cross-off breeze. That is serious power and size. Only for experts.
The rest of the week into the 23rd holds nice 4ft to 6ft surf with clean mornings. The weekend of the 27th dies down to small 2ft to 3ft glassy conditions, but nothing special.
Best bets: Saturday 19th morning and Monday 21st morning. Get on them.

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.
