The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at Playa de Xago for the next couple weeks. Honestly, it’s a long dry spell before we get anything worth paddlin’ for. The first real shot of juice doesn’t show up until the second week, so you’ll need to sit tight.
The one that’s got my attention is Saturday the 8th of August. That morning we see a clean, glassy start with a 4ft swell out of the NW, period around 8 seconds, and combined energy sitting at 180 – that’s a moderate punch that’s a real step up from the tiny stuff before it. Winds are dead calm early so the surface is like glass. By the afternoon there’s a light cross-offshore breeze, still clean, and the swell holds at about 4ft with energy bumping to 192. This is the highlight of the whole outlook. For an intermediate surfer, this is your window. That NW direction is exactly what this spot wants, and it’s very consistent. Just remember – crowds are often here when it’s good.
The rest of the run is pretty flat. Starting from Thursday the 30th through the first week of August, it’s mostly under 2ft and messy. Thursday morning you get a 2ft NW swell with glassy air, but it’s ordinary – energy only 78. By afternoon the breeze swings cross-onshore and it’s done. Friday is even smaller. The weekend has a clean-ish morning Saturday but only 2ft NW swell. The whole first week of August is weak, with most swells under 2ft and energy often below 40.
After the Saturday pulse, it drops right back. Sunday the 9th has a clean morning with a 2ft W swell, but it fades fast. Then from the 10th through the 14th, it’s all under 3ft with onshore winds and poor energy. The 12-second period swell that shows on the 12th is from NW but only 0.3ft – that’s nothin’.
Bottom line: This spot needs a decent NW to wake up. Until that Saturday the 8th, it’s a real snoozer. That’s your day – get it while it’s glassy and clean, ’cause the days after look quiet again. Keep your board waxed, but don’t rush out too early.
Rusty.

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).
