The Lowdown
Alright, same story, but in feet and knots for those who think that way. Rusty here.
We’re starting off flat at Playa de Xago. The first few days are a total bust, with the combined swell energy barely registering—it’s about 49 (weak). Wind is all over the place. You’ll be sitting on the beach.
The first real surf kicks in on the morning of the 29th of August. The wind is glassy, and the swell is a clean 5ft out of the NW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is 402 (moderate), and the waves are good. Playa de Xago is a very consistent, exposed beach break that’s often crowded, so get in early. Water temp is about normal for the season.
The morning of the 1st of September is another solid call. Swell drops to 5ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, with a light cross-off wind from the ENE keeping it clean. Combined energy is 300 (moderate). Solid.
Now, the big one. The morning of the 8th of September is the standout, but it’s over a week out, so keep an eye on it. A 8ft groundswell from the NW with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 4311 (very strong). The wind is glassy, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers only. This is big, powerful, and will be too much for beginners. With that long period, it’ll be a bit straight at this beach, but the power is insane.
There’s a long gap of no good surf from the 2nd of September through to the 5th. The morning of the 6th of September has a 5ft NW swell with an 11-second period and glassy wind, combined energy 493 (moderate), but it’s not the best.
Best on offer: the 8th of September morning for the experts, and the 29th of August morning for everyone else.
Rusty.
