The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We've got a classic start to this outlook: a bit of a wait. The first few days are a write-off – poor conditions, bad wind, not worth paddling out for. But once we get through the weekend, there's a few windows of real promise.

The first real glimmer comes on Monday, the 31st of August. Monday morning at Playa de Xago is the standout of the first week. We’re looking at a clean 6 ft swell from the NW, and with a glassy wind, it's going to be smooth as glass out there. The water is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no shock to the system. The swell energy is solid moderate (634), and with a 10-second period, it’s got some proper push. This is the session to aim for if you want chest-high, clean lines.

Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, is another glassy dawn patrol with a 4 ft NW swell, but the energy drops off (272). It's a good option if you miss Monday, but it won't be as punchy. The rest of that week is a bit of a mixed bag – some clean windows, but the swell backs right off, dropping to knee-high at times.

Looking ahead, the real heavy hitter is pegged for the start of the second week. Friday the 4th of September morning is a big one. A 5 ft NW groundswell, with a very long 13-second period, rolls in with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is high (904), meaning it's got some serious power behind it. This is a longer-period swell, so it’ll be a bit more lined up and better for the points or reefs, with longer lulls between sets. The wind is light and clean, so it’s going to be a good session.

The swell continues to pump through the 5th of September, with a 6 ft NW swell and a 13-second period, but the morning wind is a bit stronger at 12 mph. The energy is very strong (1110), so it’s got plenty of grunt, but that stronger cross-off breeze might put a bit of texture on the face. Still a solid option for the experienced crew.

We then get a bit of a lull in the middle of the second week, with some fun but not epic days. The final standout is a bit further out, on Sunday the 13th of September. The morning is glassy again, with a 5 ft NNW groundswell at a very long 12-second period. The energy is strong (659), and with zero wind, it’s going to be a beautiful, clean session for the more advanced crowd. Remember, with that long period, the sets will be slower but much more powerful, so it’s a spot for the guys who know how to read the ocean.

So, to wrap it up: the best bets are the Monday morning (31st Aug) for the first week, and the Friday morning (4th Sep) for the bigger, longer-period surf. The Sunday (13th Sep) is a promising long-range call, but keep an eye on the forecast as it gets closer.

Rusty.

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.
