Alright, grab your stick, let’s talk about Playa de Xago. Rusty here.
The next couple of weeks are a slow burn. The first week is mostly small and clean but nothing to write home about. A bigger push tries to show up late in the second week.
Don’t bother this Sunday. It’s tiny, 2ft from the NNW with a cross-off breeze. The energy is weak.
Monday morning, July 6, is your first real chance. We got 2 to 2ft from the NW, but the wind goes glassy. Energy is still low, but it’ll be clean and quiet. The water temp here is about normal for this time of year.
Then we hit a flat spell. From Monday afternoon through Thursday, July 9, the swell stays under 3ft with onshore wind most of the time. There’s a glassy window on Thursday morning with 2ft swell, but it’s just ordinary.
Friday morning, July 10, is the same story – glassy but small (3ft NW).
Now Saturday morning, July 11, is a sleeper. Swell is tiny at 2ft, but the period jumps to 12 seconds, and it’s dead glassy. That’s long-period groundswell. If the tide is right, you might find a fun little reeling wave on the points. Energy is weak, but it’s a patient surfer’s session.
Sunday, July 12, brings a pulse of windswell – 3 to 4ft from the N, but the period drops to 7 seconds and the wind goes onshore. The energy gets moderate, but it’s messy and choppy. Might be better for the kite surfers than paddle guys.
Monday, July 13, is more onshore crud – 3 to 4ft from the N.
Tuesday morning, July 14, returns to glassy conditions with 2 to 2ft from the NW. Surfable but ordinary.
The standout is Sunday, July 19. Circle this one. We see a solid 6 to 7ft swell from the WNW. Energy jumps to strong. Period is a punchy 9 seconds, so it won’t be the cleanest groundswell, but there’s plenty of power. Wind is cross-shore in the morning, keeping it rideable. This size is getting into intermediate territory. Expect a crowd – this spot is very consistent and gets busy when it’s on. The date is far out, so keep tabs on it.
The 18th of July also has a glassy morning with 3ft from the NW – a nice clean warm-up before the bigger Sunday.
So, we wait through a week of small, clean but forgettable surf, with a proper pulse of energy coming around July 19.
Stay patient, and I’ll see you in the water.
Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Xago Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Playa de Xago provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa de Xago can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Xago surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Playa de Xago) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
