The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Playa de Xago.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, kicking off this Monday and building into some serious size by the end of the week. The standout period is definitely the second half of the week and into the weekend. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The best of the best looks like Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th. Friday morning at Playa de Xago is looking magic – glassy conditions, no wind, with a clean 6ft NW swell. The energy is getting solid at 750 (moderate energy) and it’s just perfect for an intermediate. Friday afternoon though, hold onto your board. The swell jumps to 10ft from the NNW with a very long 14-second period, and the energy reading is a massive 3257 (very strong energy). That’s expert-only territory – too big for most. Saturday morning is your real window for the big stuff if you’ve got the skills: 8ft from the NNW, 13-second period, light offshore wind from the ESE, and the energy is 1830 (very strong). Clean, powerful, and for experienced surfers only.
Monday the 14th is a nice warm-up. Morning has clean 4ft NW swell with a light cross-off breeze and energy at 293 (moderate). Afternoon is similar, just a touch smaller. Tuesday is a write-off with onshore wind and small waves. Wednesday morning is marginal with a 5ft NNW swell and short 8-second period, but the wind is light cross-shore – not great, but surfable. Thursday morning is the real hidden gem: glassy conditions, 5ft NW swell, 10-second period, and energy at 582 (moderate). That’s a super clean session for an intermediate.
Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st still have decent swell but the wind gets a bit stronger. Monday morning brings a solid 7ft NW swell with 14-second period and clean conditions, but it’s pushing into the too-big-for-beginners range. Energy at 1587 (strong). The following days drop off in size.
After the 22nd, the swell fades quickly. Wednesday the 23rd is small and clean but weak. From Thursday the 24th through to the end of the month it’s pretty flat – mostly 1ft to 2ft with very low energy. There’s a brief calm, glassy window on Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th, but the waves are tiny. Not worth paddling out for.
So to sum it up: Thursday the 17th morning is a sneaky good clean session, but the real highlights are Friday the 18th morning (glassy 6ft) and Saturday the 19th morning (clean 8ft, experienced only). Don’t sleep on the Monday the 14th for a mellow start.
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.

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.
