The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Playa de Xago. The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, but the first week or so is looking pretty average. The water’s sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus if you’re in, but the waves are struggling to get their act together.

The first real chance to get a wet suit on doesn’t come until Thursday afternoon, the 8th of August. It’s tiny, only 1ft from the NNE, but the wind is glassy and it’s a risk of thunderstorms. It’s surfable, but just barely. The energy is weak (46) and the period is a short 5 seconds, so don’t expect much push. Still, a glassy day on small waves can be a fun little session if you’re not fussy.

Through the weekend and into the next week, it’s a real struggle. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but the swell stays small and weak. There’s a little bump on Monday morning the 10th, with 2ft from the NW and glassy conditions, but it’s still ordinary. The energy is low (76) and the period is only 9 seconds. It’s just not doing much.

The best bet in this whole outlook is looking at Thursday morning, the 13th of August. The swell jumps to 3ft from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds, and the energy is moderate (140). The wind is a clean cross-off from the ENE, which is perfect for Playa de Xago as it’s exposed to the NW swell. This is the standout. It’s not huge, but it’s the best quality we’ll see. The waves will be clean and have a bit more shape to them. The break is very consistent, so you won’t be waiting around. Just be aware that crowds are often here, so get there early.

After that, it drops off again. There’s a glassy morning on Saturday the 15th, but it’s only 2ft and the energy is weak (43). The following week sees a bit more size, but the wind turns onshore or cross-on, ruining the quality. Tuesday morning the 18th has a glassy 3ft from the N, but the period is short (6 seconds) and the energy is moderate (119). The wind is clean, but the waves will be a bit crumbly with that short period.

The last few days of the forecast, from the 19th onwards, get a bit bigger, with the swell hitting 5ft on the 21st, but it’s a short-period wind swell from the WNW with strong onshore winds. That’s a messy, choppy mess. For a spot like this, that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The best day is Thursday morning, the 13th of August. After that, it’s a long wait for anything decent, and the end of the forecast is blown out. Keep your eyes on the charts.

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.
