Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de Xago over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Playa de Xago. It’s been a tough stretch – the 16-day window is mostly flat or blown out. The first bit of surf worth mentioning is Thursday morning, July 9th. Water temp is sitting at 67° with a nice little anomaly of 3°F, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The morning starts glassy with a small 2ft WNW swell, period 9 seconds, and a combined energy of 66 – weak. It’s surfable but very ordinary. That window closes fast; by afternoon the wind goes cross and the conditions drop off. Then we’ve got a long dry spell from July 10th all the way through July 17th – nothing but onshore winds, tiny swell, and poor surf. A little reprieve on the morning of Saturday, July 18th: clean conditions with a light ENE cross-off breeze, 1.0ft WNW swell, period 10 seconds, energy 40 – still weak but at least it’s clean. Not enough to get excited about though. Then another gap of poor conditions until the real standout arrives on Thursday, July 23rd. That morning is glassy – dead calm – with a 6ft WNW swell, period 6 seconds (short period, so it’ll be a bit fat and steep), combined energy 276 – moderate. The wind is zero, so it’ll be clean. That’s the best on offer, but it’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it. The afternoon picks up to 7ft NW with 8-second period and energy 515 (strong) but the wind is cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. Overall, Playa de Xago is a consistent spot when there’s swell, but this run is mostly a dud. The only true windows are July 9th morning, July 18th morning, and the standout July 23rd morning. If you’re patient, that last one might be worth the wait. 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).
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.
