The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming. It’s all about Playa de Xago, and only one spot in the game here. First week’s a bit of a letdown, but the second week makes up for it.
Water temp is 70°, which is just a hair above the norm for this time of year – nothing wild.
Monday the 24th kicks off with a weak 3ft NNE windswell, only 6 seconds between waves, cross-on breeze, and a combined energy of just 63. It’s garbage. Tuesday the 25th is glassy flatness with barely a ripple – 0.7ft. Wednesday the 26th morning is glassy with a 2ft WNW swell, still ordinary.
Thursday the 27th afternoon is your first real chance. Clean, glassy, with a 4ft WNW groundswell at 10 seconds. Combined energy hits 332 – decent. That’s the highlight of the first week for sure. Expect crowds, this spot is often busy.
Friday the 28th is blown out – onshore wind, choppy, skip it. Saturday the 29th morning is glassy again, 4ft NW swell at 9 seconds, 221 energy. Clean and fun.
Then there’s a dry spell until Sunday the 6th of September. That morning you get a 2ft NW groundswell with an unbelievable 19-second period. Combined energy surges to 843 – strong. Wind is offshore from the E, glassy clean. This is the big standout. The long, long period means waves with serious power and long lulls. For a point break like this, it’s perfect. Intermediates and up, this is your day.
Monday the 7th keeps the quality – 3ft NW at 14 seconds, clean cross-off breeze, 538 energy. Tuesday the 8th morning ends the run with 5ft NW at 12 seconds, glassy, 685 energy. Another beauty morning session.
Overall: first week has a couple of clean, small windows. The real payoff is that run from the 6th to the 8th of September – proper groundswell, clean conditions, waves with grunt. Get on it.

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.
