The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the local sand.
Alright, let's be real, the start of this forecast period is a bit of a slow grind. We're looking at a few days of small, ordinary waves that won't get the heart pumping too much. The wait is on for the real action.
Wednesday morning at Playa de Xago is small and glassy. We're talkin' tiny 2ft waves from the NW, with a period of just 8 seconds. The wind is dead calm, glassy as can be, so it's clean, but the energy is weak (69). It's a paddle-out for the soul, not for the thrill. The water's at 68°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Thursday and Friday keep the same theme: small surf, mostly clean conditions in the mornings, but nothing to write home about. The swell stays small and the energy is low.
Then, Saturday the 5th of September. That's the day. The morning is where it's at. We've got a solid 5ft NW groundswell rolling in, with a period of 13 seconds. That's proper energy (931)! The wind is light and cross-off from the east, keeping the face clean. This is a standout. It's got size, it's got power, and it's clean. The afternoon pushes up to 6ft, but the wind picks up, making it a bit more of a handful. The morning session is the clear winner here.
Sunday the 6th is still fun, with dropping 4ft swell and glassy conditions by the afternoon. The energy is still moderate (298). It's a good follow-up day, but not the standout.
The following week has some promise. Thursday the 10th of September morning brings another pulse of 5ft NW groundswell with a 12-second period, and the wind is light and cross-off. The energy is strong (557). This is the second standout of the period. It's a bit further out, so keep an eye on it, but it looks like a great morning. Then Monday the 14th of September morning looks like another solid option with 6ft from the NNW and clean cross-off winds, carrying a lot of power (742).
The rest of the second week drops off into small, weak surf again. The energy fades, and we're back to small, ordinary conditions.
So, for the best of the best, lock in Saturday the 5th of September morning. The combination of clean, glassy conditions at dawn, groundswell with good period, and strong energy makes it the top pick. The Thursday the 10th of September morning is another solid call, a bit further out but promising. Everything else is just filling in the gaps.
This is Rusty, signing off.
