The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks at our local spot.

We’ve got a decent run of surf on the way, but it’s a tale of two halves. The first few days are solid, then things drop off, before a late push of serious groundswell for the experienced crew. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

Sunday the 13th kicks things off nicely. Playa de Xago is the only show in town, and she’s looking clean. We’ve got a 5 ft NW swell, with a 12-second period, giving the water some proper grunt. The combined swell energy is sitting at (590) – that’s moderate energy, so a good, surfable push. Wind is a light ESE cross-off, 15 km/h, keeping things tidy. Morning is the pick. The afternoon holds a little more size at 5 ft and clean lines, but the tide might get a bit funky.

Monday the 14th sees the swell dropping. Morning is still okay – 4 ft NW, clean with an easterly breeze – but it’s getting smaller. Afternoon is down to 3 ft, still clean, but the energy is fading. Still a session for a log or a fish.

Tuesday the 15th is a write-off. The swell drops to 2 ft with a choppy onshore wind. Don’t bother paddling out, for the next couple of days it’s flat.

Wednesday the 16th brings a surprise. The morning is glassy, zero wind, and a 5 ft NW swell. The period is short, at 8 seconds, so it will be a bit crumbly. The energy is there, though (275), and the glassy conditions make it a good session for a mid-length. It won’t be powerful, but it’ll be fun.

Thursday the 17th is bigger, with 6 ft NW swell in the morning and a 10-second period, but the onshore wind ruins it. Afternoon is the same story – messy. Not worth it.

Friday the 18th is where things get interesting. Morning is small again at 4 ft, but glassy and clean. Then the afternoon is a standout. That’s when the real energy arrives. The swell jumps to 7 ft from the NW, with a 13-second period. The combined swell energy rockets up to (2205) – that’s strong energy. And the wind is a light E/NE cross-off. This is quality. For the experienced surfer only, though – 7 ft is getting up there. Beginners should sit this one out.

Saturday the 19th is an absolute gem. Morning is glassy, with a 7 ft swell swinging to the NNW and a long 14-second period. That’s a groundswell. The energy reading is massive at (1805). This swell is going to have power and shape, but with that long period, it might be a bit tricky at a beach break – watch out for the sets hitting straight. Afternoon holds with 7 ft, clean, and cross-off winds. Both sessions are top-tier for the experienced.

Sunday the 20th might just be the best on offer. The morning is a beast – 8 ft from the NNW with a very long 15-second period. The combined energy is (2444). That’s very strong. The wind is a light cross-off. This is heavy, powerful surf. If you’ve got the skills, this is the session. Afternoon stays big at 8 ft, but the wind picks up to a moderate breeze, making it a bit more challenging to handle.

Monday the 21st keeps the size. Morning at 8 ft, clean, and that groundswell energy (2281) still pumping. Afternoon a tad smaller, but the moderate breeze makes it less appealing.

Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd see the swell easing. Mornings are still good: Tuesday with 6 ft, Wednesday with 4 ft, both clean with light winds. Good intermediate fun.

From Thursday the 24th, it’s a slow fade. The swell drops below 3 ft, and by Friday the 25th through Sunday the 28th, it’s pretty much flat or weak windswell at around 0.7 ft to 1 ft. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the energy readings are in the teens to low hundreds. Not worth wetting a wetsuit, unless you want to stretch the legs on a longboard in ankle-high slop. A week of nothing after the run of solid swell.

So, the pick of the litter is Sunday the 20th morning for the brave, and Saturday the 19th morning for a slightly more manageable but still powerful session. Friday afternoon of the 18th is a sleeper hit with the clean 7 ft set.

Stay frothy.
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. 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.
