The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Playa de Xago for the next couple of weeks.

There’s a slow start, but once the swell gets going, there are some proper sessions to get excited about. The water is 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need as thick a wetsuit.

The first worthwhile surf shows up on Thursday the 10th of September. Playa de Xago is an exposed spot, very consistent, and it’s picking up a clean 4ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 10 seconds. Wind is light and cross-off from the ENE, so the surface will be tidy. The combined energy is moderate (248). It’s not huge, but it’s a solid, fun size for an intermediate surfer. Crowds are often here, so expect some company.

Friday the 11th sees a smaller drop in the morning – 3ft from the NW with a 9-second period – but the wind swings SE and goes offshore, making for clean little waves. Combined energy drops to 141. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon gets blown out a bit with a stronger cross-off breeze.

Saturday the 12th is pretty flat and poor. Not worth paddling out.

Now, Sunday the 13th is where things get interesting. The morning brings a solid 5ft swell from the NW, with a nice long 12-second period. The wind is light and cross-off from the E, keeping it clean. Combined energy jumps to 657 (strong wave energy). This is a standout for the first week. The afternoon stays punchy at 5ft, but the wind picks up a bit. Still, the morning is your go.

Monday the 14th is still good, with a 4ft NW swell, 11-second period, and light E wind. Combined energy 263. Clean, consistent, and fun.

Tuesday the 15th is a write-off. Onshore and cross-on winds, short period junky swell. Don’t bother.

Wednesday the 16th brings a nice surprise. Morning glass-off with 5ft from the NW, 8-second period, but the wind is glassy – NNE at 3 mph. Combined energy 372. That’s clean wave face, even if the period is short. Might be a bit lumpy for the longboarders, but for a shortboard, it’s fun.

Thursday the 17th is the highlight of the whole run. Morning offshore from the SE at 6 mph, 5ft of NW swell with an 11-second period, combined energy 604 (strong). This is clean, powerful, and well-shaped for an intermediate. Get out there early.

The second week stays active, but the quality is more mixed. Friday the 18th is clean and fun, with 4ft in the morning and 3ft in the afternoon, both with good period. Combined energy around 328-394.

Saturday the 19th starts marginal with a light cross-shore and 4ft, but the afternoon gets cross-on and messy. Sunday the 20th is a no-go – strong cross-off wind, but it’s too gusty for clean surf.

But here’s the long-range standout: Wednesday the 23rd of September. Morning brings a 5ft NW swell with a very long 15-second period, light E wind, combined energy 1243 (very strong). This is groundswell, and it’ll be long-period, which means longer waits between sets but more energy and better shape – especially good for a point or reef setup. Playa de Xago is exposed, so it’ll handle it. This is one for experienced surfers, as it’s over 5ft and the energy is serious. The afternoon stays solid at 6ft, but the wind picks up a little.

Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th still offer clean, surfable waves in the 4ft to 5ft range, but nothing that matches the juice of the 23rd.

So, to sum it up: the best windows are Sunday the 13th morning, Thursday the 17th morning, and the big one on Wednesday the 23rd morning. That 23rd is the one to circle on the calendar – it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s looking promising.

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.
