The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Playa de Xago. We’ve got a 16-day window, and honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burner with a couple of real gems hiding in there.
The ocean is going to be quiet for most of the opening days. We’re looking at a few small windows of clean glass, but the swell is tiny. From Saturday the 29th of August, there’s a little 5ft WNW swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but the energy is weak (307). That’s really just a paddler’s wave. The water is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama.
The real standout comes on Monday the 31st of August. We’ve got a solid 6ft NW groundswell rolling in with a nice 10-second period, and the wind is dead glass in the morning. The combined energy jumps to 634, which is a solid pulse. That’s going to be the best session of the early stretch—clean, punchy, and with enough push to get some proper turns. Keep an eye on the crowds though, because this spot can get busy when it’s good.
After that, Tuesday the 1st of September still has some clean 4ft NW swell in the morning, but it’s smaller. Then it drops off. From Wednesday the 2nd through to Thursday the 3rd, it’s pretty ordinary—tiny waves under 3ft and weak energy. You’d be fighting for scraps.
Now, if you’ve got patience, the second week has a real treat. Saturday the 5th of September is the one to circle. The morning brings a 5ft NW swell, but the period is a long 13 seconds—proper groundswell. Glassy conditions again. The energy is up at 623. That’s a wave with real grunt. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean, lined up, and well-shaped. This is the true standout of the whole outlook. Just remember, that long period swell can make beach breaks a bit walled, but here it should handle it fine.
Sunday the 6th still has a clean 4ft NW swell with 11-second period, but it’s smaller. After that, the week turns windy and messy. From Monday the 7th onwards, the winds get onshore or cross, and the swell drops to under 3ft. There’s a long gap of poor, small, and choppy conditions through to the 12th. A few mornings on the 9th and 13th might offer a clean but tiny wave, nothing to get excited about.
So, overall: the best bets are the morning of Monday the 31st of August for a solid, clean swell, and the morning of Saturday the 5th of September for the long-period groundswell. That Saturday is the pick of the bunch. The rest of the 16 days, you’re mostly waiting or dealing with onshore junk.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
