The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Playa de Xago.
We’ve got surf straight away, with a nice long-period groundswell from the northwest that’s going to set up some clean, solid waves. The water is 69°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – comfortable.
Sunday morning (13th September) is the first real highlight. Swell is 5ft from the northwest, period 12 seconds, with a light cross-off east wind keeping things glassy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 590, and the wave comment says to expect very good surf. This is a standout. The break is very consistent, but expect a few people out – it’s often crowded.
Monday morning (14th) steps down to 4ft, still clean, but smaller. Tuesday (15th) the wind turns onshore and the swell drops – not worth suiting up.
Wednesday (16th) builds a new NW swell, but it’s messy. Thursday morning (17th) though – that’s a gem. Glassy wind, 5ft NW swell, 11-second period, combined energy 593. The wave comment says very good surf. Get out there early.
Friday morning (18th) is the real standout. Glassy conditions, 6ft NW swell, 10-second period, combined energy jumps to a strong 833. This is the pick of the run – clean, solid, right in the break’s sweet spot.
Friday afternoon – watch out. The swell jumps to 10ft from the NNW with a very long 16-second period. Combined energy is massive at 3773. The wave comment says it’s too big for this break. That’s for experts only, or the kite crew.
Saturday morning (19th) is still big at 8ft NW, 13-second period, glassy east wind, combined energy 1783. Excellent for experienced surfers. If you’ve got the skills, this is your window.
Sunday (20th) drops to 6ft, clean. Monday morning (21st) is another standout for the second week: 6ft NW, 13-second period, glassy east wind, combined energy 1291. Top quality.
The rest of the second week holds clean waves around 5ft to 6ft through Tuesday and Wednesday, but with more wind. By Thursday (24th) the swell fades to 3ft, and then we hit a flat stretch from Saturday (26th) to Sunday (27th) – just tiny waves.
Monday (28th) shows a nice comeback: 4ft NNW swell, 13-second period, clean cross-off winds, combined energy 520. Worth keeping an eye on.
Best bets: Friday morning (18th) for the clean, solid peak, and Sunday morning (13th) for a great start to the run. For the big-wave crew, Saturday morning (19th) is your call. Second week, Monday (21st) morning is the pick.
Rusty, out.

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.
