The Lowdown

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

The first few days are a bit of a write-off, so don’t bother paddling out until later in the week. The real action kicks off from Wednesday morning and then builds into something special by Sunday the 13th.

Tuesday stays messy with onshore wind and rain, so keep the board in the car. Wednesday the 9th is where we start to see a change. The morning is a total standout – glassy conditions, clean as a whistle, with a 5ft swell from the NW. The wave energy is moderate (427), and that perfect offshore wind means the sets will be peeling nicely. It’s a solid option for intermediates, though the swell is small enough to be manageable.

Wednesday afternoon picks up a bit more size at 6ft from the NNW, coming from a longer period (12 seconds) which gives the waves more punch. The energy jumps to strong (1019), but the wind turns cross-shore, so it’s not as clean as the morning. Still, there’s fun to be had.

Thursday the 10th stays clean with a lighter 5ft NNW swell in the morning, cross-off wind, and energy at 374 (moderate). It’s a solid, workable day. Friday the 11th drops right off – tiny 2ft and empty energy (79) – so save your energy.

The next standout hits Sunday the 13th. The morning is glassy again, with a 5ft NW swell and a long period of 13 seconds. The energy is strong (816), and the wave quality is rated very good. This is the best of the run – clean, well-shaped, and with plenty of grunt for intermediate surfers. The wind is dead calm, so you’ll be surfing butter. Crowds are often around here, so get there early.

Monday the 14th is still clean with a 4ft NW swell, but the energy drops back to moderate (332). A decent follow-up session.

After that, the surf fades for a few days – tiny waves and only fair conditions through the middle of the week. But then, on Monday the 21st of September, a new pulse shows up. Another 5ft NW swell with a 11-second period and energy at 540 (strong). The morning is clean with cross-off wind, and the quality looks very good again. That’s a solid long-range target, though keep an eye on it as we get closer.

Water temp is about average for the time of year, so grab a spring suit and you’ll be fine.

The break is a very consistent beach setup, so it rarely goes flat for long. The best bet is definitely Wednesday morning the 9th, and Sunday the 13th for the bigger, cleaner swell.

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.
