The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
First few days are a total bust. Flat, weak, and dirty – don’t even think about it until the weekend.
Your first real shot is Saturday, September 5th. Playa de Xago gets a proper NW groundswell hitting 5 ft in the morning with a long 14-second period. That’s real energy, not slop. The combined energy reading is 872 (moderate to strong). Wind is out of the east as a cross-offshore breeze, so the faces will be clean. This is a solid session for the intermediate crew. The afternoon swell bumps up to 6 ft and energy jumps to 1147 (strong), but the wind picks up to 15 mph from the ENE, making it a bit more of a handful. Still, Saturday morning is the pick of the whole 16-day window.
Sunday slides back – smaller swell, onshore wind, messy. No need to rush out.
Now, Monday, September 7th and Tuesday, September 8th are worth a mention. Both mornings are glassy with barely any wind. Monday has a 3 ft WNW groundswell at 13 seconds, energy at 420 (moderate). Tuesday is similar with 4 ft NW swell, 10-second period, energy at 286. Small, but clean as a whistle. Perfect for a longboard or a fish.
The middle of the week gets windier and the quality drops. Saturday, September 12th, offers a glassy morning with tiny 3 ft swell – just ordinary.
The next decent option is Wednesday, September 16th in the morning. Clean offshore ESE breeze at 6 mph, with a 5 ft NW swell (10-second period) and energy at 400 (moderate). Nice shaped waves, manageable size.
After that, from September 17th onward, it’s all small and ordinary – waist high or less, clean but weak.
Bottom line: If you’re picking one day, go for the morning of Saturday, September 5th. The glassy mornings on the 7th and 8th are next best, but they’re small. Crowds are likely at Playa de Xago – it’s a popular spot.
Water temp is about 69°, pretty average for the time of year.
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. 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.
