The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your local stretch. There’s a bit of a wait, but the second half of the week and into next weekend actually has some proper windows for a paddle. The water’s sitting at 68° right now, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the thick suit yet.
Alright, let’s get into it. The first real glimmer of something decent shows up on the morning of Tuesday, the 1st of September. Playa de Xago is looking at a clean 4ft swell from the NW, period around 9 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. That’s a setup for some tidy, fun waves. The combined energy is moderate at 307, so you’ll feel push, but it’s not a beast. The afternoon holds the same size and clean conditions, just a bit more breeze. Crowds are often an issue here, so it’s worth getting in early.
Wednesday the 2nd is a letdown—the swell drops to 3ft and the energy is weak (85). Not worth rushing for.
Then things pick up again on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. This is the standout of the entire forecast. Playa de Xago gets a very clean 4ft swell from the NW, but the period bumps up to 11 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the faces will be smooth. The combined energy is strong at 691 (moderate-high). The water is still average temp. This is the session to circle on your calendar. The afternoon stays around 5ft, but the wind gets a bit stiffer; still surfable.
Sunday the 6th of September morning is still a solid option with 4ft, long period (11 sec), and clean cross-offshore breeze. Energy is moderate (319). Good for a follow-up session, but not as punchy as Saturday.
After that, the well runs dry. From Monday the 7th onwards, the swell drops to tiny or short-period slop, with poor winds and onshore conditions. There’s a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for until the morning of Sunday the 13th of September, when you’ll see a small 3ft swell from the WNW with glassy conditions. Energy is weak (160), so it’s only for the desperate or the longboard crew. The 14th of September morning is also glassy but tiny at 2ft, with a longer period (11 sec) but just not enough height to get excited about.
So, bottom line: get your best sessions in on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, and maybe the Tuesday morning before that. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly a bust.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Playa de Xago can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
