The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what Playa de Xago is cooking up for the next couple of weeks. The water’s sitting at about 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus.
We’ve got a bit of a quiet start, but the real action kicks off on Thursday the 17th. That morning is looking like the first standout. The swell is a solid 5ft from the NW with a 10-second period, pumping with a combined energy of (582). The wind is dead calm, absolutely glassy. That’s the kind of morning you drag yourself out of bed for – clean, peeling lines with no bumps.
Then Friday the 18th morning keeps the stoke going with another glassy session: 5ft, NW, clean as a whistle and energy at (759). But hold onto your board, because Friday afternoon is where things get serious. We’re looking at a big 10ft swell from the NNW, with a very long period of 16 seconds and massive energy (4056). Now, that’s a powerful groundswell, and while it’s amazing for the experienced crew, that size will be too much for beginners. The wind is light cross-shore, so it might be a bit tricky. Honestly, at that size and with that raw power, this setup starts looking more interesting for the kite surfers than for a paddle session.
Saturday the 19th morning is another prime window for experienced surfers. We’ve got a 7ft NW swell with a long 13-second period (1699 energy) and clean offshore winds from the ESE. That’s excellent, heavy stuff for those who can handle it.
The week after that settles down. Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd both have clean, fun waves in the 5ft to 5ft range with long periods, good for a relaxed session without the chaos. Crowds are likely at this break, so get there early.
The very end of the run on Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th mornings are glassy and clean with small waves around 2ft to 4ft – perfect for a longboard or a sneaky dawn session. After that, the energy drops right off into the start of the following week. Nothing to write home about from the 27th onwards – small, weak, a bit ordinary.
So, if you’re looking for the best of the best, lock in Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th for the cleanest power. If you’re a ripper, don’t sleep on Saturday the 19th morning.
Rusty.
