The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Playa de Xago. We've got a proper run of waves coming, so let's get into it.

The pattern kicks off with a fun little pulse. Monday morning the 14th sees a clean 4 ft NW swell, cross-off breeze making for tidy lines, and the water is sitting at 69°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The energy reading is a modest 293, but for a small day it’ll be plenty fun on the right board. The afternoon holds similar size and conditions, just with a bit more breeze.

Tuesday the 15th is a write-off. Swell drops right out and the wind turns messy. Give it a miss. Wednesday the 16th improves slightly as a new pulse of NW swell builds, but we're looking at a lumpy 5 ft to 6 ft with a cross-on wind and a short, weak 8-second period – it's going to be a bumpy, frustrating session.

Now, Thursday the 17th morning is where things start to get interesting. The wind goes completely glassy, dead calm, and there's a solid 5 ft NW groundswell with a 10-second period pumping in. The energy reading is a solid 582, and the conditions will be absolutely clean. That’s a morning to get out there for sure.

But the real standout of the whole forecast is Friday the 18th. We get a beautiful 4 ft swell in the morning from the NNW, but the period jumps to a very long 14 seconds. That's a proper groundswell with serious energy, and the reading of 1187 backs that up. With a glassy, clean surface, those waves are going to have real shape and power. This break can really shine on this direction, but remember, a long period like this at a beach setup can sometimes be a little straight. Still, for an experienced surfer, this is the pick of the period. The afternoon builds to a chunky 8 ft with a 13-second period and cross-shore wind – that's big, powerful stuff, pushing the 'experts only' mark.

Saturday the 19th is still excellent. The morning offers a 7 ft NNW swell with a gentle offshore wind making for clean, lined-up waves. Energy is still very strong at 1673. A fantastic session for anyone comfortable in overhead surf. The afternoon eases slightly but stays clean.

Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st will see the swell settle but the quality remains. The Monday morning on the 21st is another highlight, with a clean 6 ft NW groundswell carrying that long 14-second period and a light offshore breeze. The energy is a hefty 1537. That's a day of proper, powerful waves.

From Tuesday the 22nd through to the end of the forecast, the swell slowly backs off. We get a few more glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd, with waist-to-chest high waves, but the energy is low. A wind swell spike on Thursday the 24th afternoon brings a 5 ft NE swell with a puny 6-second period – it'll be weak and chunky, not really worth the paddle. The last real pulse is the morning of the 29th of September with a 3 ft glassy NW groundswell, but it's small and the energy is only 457. A nice way to sign off, but not a session to plan a trip around.

There are a couple of longer gaps in the second week when it's just too small and wind-affected to recommend, particularly around the 23rd and 27th. Focus your energy on Thursday the 17th through to Monday the 21st.

Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so for those standout mornings, especially the glassy ones, get there early.

Alright, that's the read. Stay salty.

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.
