The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday the 29th starts with a clean 5ft swell from the WNW, but the wind swings onshore by the afternoon and kills it. Sunday is a write-off with onshore winds all day. So, we're waiting for the real action.
Everything comes together on Monday morning, the 31st of August. Glassy conditions, a clean 6ft swell from the NW, and the energy is building nicely with a combined swell energy of 622 (moderate). The period is 10 seconds, which is a solid, workable wave. This is the standout of the early run. It’s a bit meaty for beginners at that size, but for the intermediates, this is the session to aim for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.
Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, is glassy again with a smaller 4ft NW swell. The energy is down to 296 (moderate), but it’ll be clean and fun. After that, we hit a flat spell from Wednesday through to Friday, with waves dropping below 3ft and energy levels falling into the weak range (below 100). The wind is good, but there’s just not enough swell to get excited about.
The pattern picks up again on Saturday the 5th of September. The morning brings a clean 4ft NW swell with a 10-second period, and the energy is back up to 389 (moderate). The afternoon gets bigger at 5ft, but the wind picks up to 25 km/h, making it a bit of a bumpy ride. While the swell is bigger, the morning session looks cleaner.
Sunday the 6th of September is another top contender. We’ve got glassy conditions, a 5ft swell from the NNW, and a very long period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 636 (moderate). This is a proper groundswell, which will wrap into the point setups better than the beach. It’s a beautiful morning for a surfer who knows their spot.
The following week gets a bit messy. The 8th of September has a solid 6ft NW swell and very strong energy of 1091 (strong), but the wind is cross-onshore, which will mess up the face. The 9th of September sees the biggest swell of the period at 8ft from the NNW, with energy hitting 1382 (strong). This is expert territory, and while the wind is cross-offshore, it’s blowing at 20 km/h, so it won’t be perfect. This is more of a kite-surfing session than a clean paddle session.
Thursday the 10th of September looks good again, with glassy conditions on the morning and a clean 4ft NNW swell. The energy is back to a moderate 397. It’s a solid, clean day for a paddle. The last few days of the forecast run out of puff, with onshore winds and small, weak swell.
So, to wrap it up: the best windows are Monday the 31st of August morning, and Sunday the 6th of September morning. If you can only pick one, that Monday morning is the cleanest combination of size and conditions. The long-range stuff on the 9th is big but only for the brave.
Rusty.
