The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.
Thursday the 27th is a total dud. Waves around 2ft, weak energy (59), short 8-second period, and thunderstorms threatening. Glassy morning but it’s not enough.
Friday the 28th morning shows some life. Swell hits 4ft from the WNW with an 11-second period and clean cross-off wind from the SSW. Energy jumps to 346 – that’s a go. Afternoon blows out with strong cross-onshore wind.
Saturday the 29th is your early pick. Morning glass – 5ft WNW swell, 8 seconds, 307 energy. Clean and fun. Afternoon stays clean with 5ft waves. Good for an intermediate.
Sunday the 30th is onshore slop. Skip it.
Now Monday the 31st morning is a standout. Glassy, calm, 6ft NW swell at 9 seconds, 502 energy. That’s “very good” conditions – I’m paddling out.
Tuesday September 1st and Wednesday the 2nd drop off – small and weak.
The big news is Saturday September 5th. A long-period groundswell hits: 6ft NW at 13 seconds (very long period), clean east cross-off wind. Energy roars to 1067 (strong). This is for experienced surfers. The shape will be great but the sets will be fat. Sunday the 6th is nearly as good – 6ft, 11 seconds, clean, 792 energy. Two killer days.
Monday the 7th stays glassy with 5ft waves.
Water temp is 69°, just 1° above normal – about average for this time.
After the 7th, it fades. Tuesday the 8th morning is glassy but small. Then Wednesday through Friday the 11th – onshore, small, not worth it.
The standouts: Monday August 31st morning and the September 5th-6th weekend. The 5th morning is the top – 6ft, NW, 13-second period, clean wind, strong energy. Expect a crowd – it’s often busy here.
That’s your call: Saturday September 5th.

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.

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.
