The Lowdown
Alright, let's break down what’s on the cards for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks. This is a very consistent spot, exposed to NW swell, and when the wind comes out of the SE, it cleans up beautifully. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
The first couple of days are a total washout. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are flat, messy, and not worth a second look. You first get a chance to wet a line on Friday morning the 28th. It’s a clean 6ft NW swell with a cross-off breeze. The combined energy is at 384 (moderate wave energy), and it's described as expect good surf conditions.
Saturday the 29th is a true gem. The morning is dead glassy—absolutely no wind—with a clean 4ft NW swell and energy at 224 (moderate). That’s the kind of session you live for: smooth, peeling waves and easy paddling. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off too.
Sunday the 30th is another standout, especially the morning. Glassy conditions again, with a solid 6ft NW swell and a period of 11 seconds, giving it proper power. The combined energy is 703 (strong wave energy). That’s a lot of juice for an intermediate surfer, but with the offshore wind, it’ll be holding up nicely.
Monday the 31st is still good in the morning with a glassy 6ft NW swell (moderate energy at 461), but the afternoon gets a bit cross-on and messy.
Then things shrink. The start of September brings clean but small waves—around 3ft to 4ft—and energy levels drop off. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Then from the 3rd to the 5th of September, you get weak little waves and onshore wind. Not worth paddling out.
The action picks back up on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning has a 4ft NW groundswell with an 11-second period and a clean cross-off breeze. Energy is 305 (moderate). It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and fun.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September keep that rolling, with solid 5ft NW swells in the mornings and clean conditions. Energy runs 338-373 (moderate). Those mornings are your best bet in the second week.
After that, it fades. The 9th and 10th of September are back to small, weak surf with clean but unexciting conditions.
The absolute best of the whole outlook is Saturday morning the 29th of August—that glassy, 4ft NW swell with zero wind is as clean as it gets. Sunday morning the 30th is a close second with the bigger, more powerful swell. After those, the mornings of Monday 31st and the 7th/8th of September are worth a look, but they don't compare.
Playa de Xago can get crowded, so for those standouts, expect company. The quality will make it worthwhile though.
