The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, there’s not a lot happening, but hang tight – there’s some serious energy building. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the first few sessions will feel pretty nice. The first window worth paddling out for is Sunday morning, September 13th. The swell is coming from the NW at 5ft with a 12-second period, which is a nice groundswell. Combined energy is moderate at 590. Wind is light easterly and cross-offshore, keeping things clean. It’s a good start, not epic, but it’s rideable.
Sunday afternoon drops off a little – the swell bumps to 5ft, but the wind picks up and the tide might make things tricky. Probably not worth rushing out. Monday morning, September 14th, is smaller at 4ft but still clean with light east winds. Not a standout, but okay for a session.
Tuesday, September 15th, is a write-off. Swell drops to 2ft and the wind turns cross-on from the west. Poor conditions. Wednesday morning, September 16th, is interesting though – the swell comes back up to 5ft with an 8-second period, but it’s glassy and clean. That short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy, but if you’re keen for a paddle, it’s workable.
Now, the real standout is Thursday morning, September 17th. Swell is 5ft from the NW, 11-second period, and it’s glassy – wind is calm. Combined energy is 593, so moderate but the quality is there. Clean, lined-up waves, and the crowd might be around (it’s often busy here), so get in early.
Friday, September 18th, is where things start to get interesting. Morning is glassy with 3ft swell but a very long 18-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and combined energy jumps to 966. It’ll be clean but the long period means it might be a bit straight on the beach – still, good for a point or reef setup. Friday afternoon though – that’s the one. Swell jumps to 8ft from the NNW, 15-second period, combined energy at 3284. That’s strong. Offshore cross winds keep it clean. This is expert territory – over 8ft is for experienced surfers only. If you’ve got the skill, this is a serious session.
Saturday, September 19th, morning is glassy with 7ft NW swell, 13-second period, energy at 1659. Excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets a bit cross-on, so not as clean.
Sunday, September 20th, is another highlight. Morning has 8ft NW swell, 12-second period, cross-off winds, energy at 1768. Afternoon bumps to 8ft from the NW, 14-second period, energy at 2926. Clean, powerful, and definitely for the experienced crew.
Monday, September 21st, morning is glassy with 8ft NW swell, 14-second period, energy at 2356. Another excellent window for experts. The afternoon gets a bit of cross-chop, so not as perfect.
From Tuesday, September 22nd, the swell stays solid but starts to ease. Morning is 7ft from the NNW with offshore winds, clean. Energy at 1144. Still good for experienced surfers. The afternoon has 7ft but with stronger winds, so it’s more marginal.
Wednesday, September 23rd, drops to 5ft, still clean but smaller. Thursday, September 24th, is even smaller at 4ft, clean but not a standout.
Then Friday, September 25th, morning is glassy again with 7ft NW swell, 14-second period, energy at 1524. That’s another excellent session for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets a bit cross-on, so morning is the call.
Saturday, September 26th, has 7ft in the morning but with fresh winds at 12 mph, so it’s a bit blown out. Afternoon drops to 6ft with 19 mph winds – getting rough.
From Sunday, September 27th, onwards, the wind cranks up to 22 mph and the swell drops. Conditions are poor, so the run ends there. A solid week of quality surf, especially for the experienced, but then it fades out.
Overall, the best on offer is Friday afternoon, September 18th, for the big, clean, powerful NW swell at 8ft with 15-second period, and Monday morning, September 21st, for the glassy, clean 8ft NW swell. Both are for experts, but if you’re ready, those are the sessions to aim for.
Stay stoked.

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.
