The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's talk Playa de Xago. It's the only spot firing in this whole stretch, so we'll park right here. Water temp is about 69°F, pretty normal for the season. Don't rush down there just yet, there's a slow start.
Thursday the 3rd is flat. We're talking 2 ft from the WNW, energy is weak (45), and it's cross-offshore wind from the ENE. Clean as a whistle, but you'd be paddling for nothing. Friday morning the 4th is glassy with a light NW wind, but still only 2 ft. Surfable, but you'd be scraping for scraps.
Things wake up Saturday the 5th. The swell hits 5 ft from the NW, with a 13-second period – proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (859) and the wind is a clean cross-off from the east. Still a bit marginal, but that's your first real chance to get wet. The window closes quick as Sunday the 6th gets blown out with onshore wind.
Alright, the one you need to lock in: Saturday the 13th. That morning is the gold. Swell is 6 ft from the NW, 13-second period, and the energy is strong (1127). The wind is a slight air from the ENE, so it's glassy – absolutely clean. That's excellent for the experienced crew. Too much for beginners, but if you've got the skills, that's your session. The afternoon drops to 5 ft and goes cross-shore, still fun but not the same.
After that, the swell backs off. Monday the 14th and Wednesday the 16th have some clean 3 ft to 4 ft waves, but nothing to write home about. Expect company at Playa de Xago – it's a popular spot and those clean mornings will draw a crowd.
This break is fairly consistent, so even when it's small, there's usually a ripple. That long-range pulse on the 13th is a good bet, but forecasts can wobble. For now, get that Saturday the 13th morning locked in.

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.
