Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Playa de Xago in a way that makes sense for those who think in feet.
First thing’s first, don’t bother paddling out this week. We’ve got a few days of nothing good before the first real chance shows up on Saturday, July 11th. The water temp is about 67°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year. Normal stuff.
So, Saturday the 11th morning. It’s small—2ft from the NW with an 11-second period. The wind is light and cross-off from the ENE, making it glassy. The energy is weak at 108. It’s not a burner, but for a clean little wave on a long-period groundswell, it’s something to slide on if you’re an intermediate. Long period swell can be a bit tricky on the beach, but it might have a little shape.
We then sit through a bunch of poor days until Sunday the 19th morning. That morning we get a 3ft swell from the NW, short period at 7 seconds, with light cross-off winds from the ENE keeping it clean. Moderate energy at 149. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about.
Monday the 20th morning is much the same: 4ft from the NW, short period, with glassy conditions from a light NNE breeze. Energy is moderate at 156. Again, okay, but ordinary.
Now, pay attention. The one day to mark on your calendar is Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning is a standout. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the WNW, short period at 7 seconds, but the wind is dead calm. Glassy. That’s a huge plus. The combined energy jumps to 231, which is solid moderate energy. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” With the optimum swell coming from the NW, this WNW swell is right in the sweet spot for Playa de Xago. It’s an exposed beach, and crowds are listed as “often,” so you won’t be out there alone. For an intermediate surfer, this is your best window. Just keep in mind, at 5ft, it’s getting a bit chunky for beginners.
Thursday the 23rd morning still has glassy conditions on a 4ft NW swell, 8-second period, but the afternoon turns to chop at 5ft with cross-onshore wind and energy at 302—a lot of water moving but messy.
Friday the 24th is a wash with rain and onshore wind, pushing 6ft. Hard pass.
So here’s the takeaway: don’t rush out this week. The real gem is Wednesday the 22nd of July morning. Glassy, solid waves, and the right angle. Paddling out will be a little easier with the longer sets. Just be ready to share the lineup.
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.

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.
