The Lowdown

Alright, gang, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the waves at Playa de Xago.

The water temp is about 69°, which is a degree or so warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice.

The first week or so is a bit of a slow burner. There’s not much to write home about until Wednesday the 9th. That morning, the wind goes completely flat, glassy, with a 5ft NW swell at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (447). It’s a short-period swell, but it’ll be clean.

The real standout, and the one you want to plan for, is Sunday the 13th. The morning session is the best. You’ve got a 6ft NW swell with a 13-second period. That’s proper groundswell. The wind is glassy, and the energy is strong (1011). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The afternoon is also very good, with a 6ft NNW swell, cross-off wind, and clean conditions.

Another one to mark is Thursday the 17th. The afternoon looks very good, with a 6ft NNW swell and a 12-second period, with clean cross-off winds and a combined energy of 959.

The following morning, Friday the 18th, is also a big one. You’ll have a 8ft NNW swell – that’s for the experts only – with glassy conditions. The energy is 795.

Keep in mind, Playa de Xago often gets crowded, so get down early for the best sessions.

The rest of the forecast tails off into smaller, cleaner waves, but nothing that’s going to be a classic.

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.
