The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Playa de Xago has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, so don’t bother paddling out until Monday morning the 20th. That’s when things start to get interesting. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 271 and we’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the NNE with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be like a mirror. That’s your first real window, and it’s a good one for an intermediate surfer.
Monday afternoon the wind picks up but the swell builds to 6ft from the NE, with energy at 392. It’s clean but the breeze is stronger, so it’s not as good as the morning. Tuesday morning the 21st drops back to 4ft, still clean, but the energy is only 181 – very ordinary. The best of the first week is definitely Monday morning.
We hit a flat spell from Thursday the 23rd through to Sunday the 27th with tiny waves, poor conditions, and onshore winds. Not worth getting wet.
Then things turn around. Tuesday morning the 28th is a standout. The swell is 5ft from the NW with a moderate 268 energy, the wind is a light cross-offshore from the east, and it’s clean. This is a proper session. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing to worry about there.
Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th are marginal but still rideable, with 4ft to 5ft from the NW, though the wind is a bit stronger. The real highlight in the second week is Saturday morning, August 1st. That’s a solid 6ft from the NW, period of 10 seconds, and the energy is a strong 647. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore, keeping it clean. That’s a powerful, punchy swell for the more experienced crew. Just be aware it might be a touch big for beginners.
Crowds are often at Playa de Xago, so expect company, especially on those good mornings.
All in all, circle Monday morning the 20th and Saturday morning August 1st. Those are your best shots.
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.
