The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
We’re in for a bit of a wait, to be honest. The first couple of days are pretty ordinary with tiny, weak swell and onshore winds making a mess of things. The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday the 28th in the morning. That’s where we start to see something worth getting excited about.
The standout of the whole forecast is hands down the Saturday morning session on the 29th. We’ve got a clean 1.5m (about 5ft) swell rolling in from the WNW, with a slight, almost glassy SSW air. The energy is moderate (302) and the conditions are set to be clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Playa de Xago is an exposed spot, and with a nice offshore breeze, it’s going to be firing for the intermediate crew. Just be ready for the crowds, as this place can get busy.
Friday morning the 28th also deserves a mention. A solid 1.3m (about 4ft) WNW groundswell with an 11-second period, combined with a light S cross-offshore breeze, is going to produce some quality, lined-up waves. The energy is moderate (346) and the report says "good surf conditions." That’s a proper morning session.
After that, things get a bit messy with onshore winds and choppy conditions through the weekend and into Monday. Tuesday morning the 1st of September is a real wildcard – glassy conditions with a 1.3m (about 4ft) NW swell. If you can get out then, it could be a lovely, clean session with very light winds.
The second week looks like a mixed bag. There’s a pulse of NW swell arriving around the 5th and 6th of September, with 1.1m to 1.2m (about 4ft to 4ft) waves and a long 11-second period, but the wind is howling from the east at 25-30 km/h (15-18 mph). That’s going to be a clean but blown-out affair, more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfing. The energy is moderate (326-357).
Then, late in the window, we see a bigger swell building. On the 10th of September, the swell jumps to 2.2m (about 7ft) from the NNW, and by the 11th it’s hitting 2.5m (about 8ft) from the same direction. This is a serious bump of energy (730-1022), but it’s coming with cross-onshore winds that will likely keep it from being perfect. The waves will be big, but the conditions are marginal. A long-range promising one, but keep your expectations in check.
So, in short: get out there Saturday the 29th for the best of the lot, and keep an eye on that Friday the 28th and Tuesday the 1st for clean windows. The rest is a bit of a gamble.
Rusty.
