The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, pulling up a chair for a look at what Playa de Xago has in store over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with some real highs and some flat spells, so let’s break it down.

Right out of the gate, the water temp is sitting at a fairly average 69°, nothing too wild for this time of year.

The first half of the outlook is pretty quiet. We’ve got some small, weak energy pulsing through from the 15th to the 18th, but it’s mostly tiny stuff – knee-high at best with very ordinary conditions. The waves are there, but they’re just not giving us much to work with. We hit a real lull from the 19th through most of the 21st, with very poor conditions and hardly any energy.

Things start to look a bit more interesting on the morning of Thursday the 20th of August. We get a bump in energy to a moderate 157, with a 2ft swell starting to show from the NW. The morning looks clean with a cross-offshore breeze. It’s still small, but it’s a sign of life. That energy builds nicely into Friday the 21st of August, where we see the best swell of the period. The morning brings in a clean 5ft swell from the NNW with a solid 11-second period, and the combined energy reaches a strong 526. The wind is a perfect cross-offshore, making for clean conditions. This is the standout window for the next two weeks. The swell is just about right for intermediates, offering some proper push without being too overwhelming. It’s a shame the afternoon starts to get a bit messy, so the early session is definitely the call.

After that peak, the swell backs off again. Saturday the 22nd is still surfable with clean lines in the morning, but the energy drops and the size goes down. From the 23rd onwards, it gets sloppy with strong onshore winds and choppy conditions. There’s a little bump of moderate energy on the 26th of August with a 4ft to 5ft NW swell, but the wind is onshore and messy, making it pretty unappealing for paddle surfing. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional surf. The very end of the outlook, around the 28th of August, returns to glassy, small conditions, but it’s nothing to write home about.

For a place that’s usually very consistent, this is a real up-and-down stretch. The absolute best bet is the morning of Friday the 21st of August. If you can get on it then, you’ll be in for a treat. The rest of the time, pick your moments carefully.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Playa de Xago can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
