The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with ya – the first few days are a total write-off. We’re talking Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th of August, with flat, weak dribble. Swell energy is barely registerin’ at 32 and 34 (weak), and with cross-off or cross-on winds, it’s just not worth paddlin’ out for. Nothin’ to get excited about yet.

We finally see a flicker of life on Thursday morning the 27th. The wind goes glassy, which is a beauty, and we get a 3ft swell from the WNW with a short 8-second period. The combined energy bumps up to 129 (moderate), but the comment says it’s just ordinary – surfable, but nothing to write home about. That glassy morning is the best of a bad bunch, but it’s far from a standout.

Friday the 28th goes downhill fast. The swell builds to 4ft – 5ft, but onshore winds and a choppy mess make it a no-go. The energy jumps to 361 and then 622 (moderate to strong), but the wind is cross-on or onshore, so the quality is poor.

Now, Saturday morning the 29th of August is where things start to get interesting. We’ve got glassy conditions, a clean 4ft swell from the NW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 227 (moderate). The word is “expect good surf conditions.” This is a solid early-morning window for intermediate surfers. Water temp is sittin’ around 69°F, with a 1°F anomaly – so pretty average for this time of year, nothin’ weird goin’ on.

Sunday the 30th morning is also glassy, with 5ft from the NW and 9-second period. Energy is 383 (moderate). Another good call for a morning session, but the afternoons get ruined by cross-on breezes.

The run of decent mornings continues: Monday the 31st morning is a bit onshore, but Tuesday the 1st of September is glassy again with a 4ft NW swell, energy at 314 (moderate). Wednesday the 2nd morning is glassy with 4ft NW swell and 10-second period, energy at 329 (moderate). These are consistent, clean windows – perfect for intermediate surfers.

But the real standout – the one that’s got me buzzin’ – is Friday the 4th of September morning. Glassy winds, a 4ft NW swell with a good 10-second period, and combined energy of 527 (strong). The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s the pick of the bunch. The swell direction is perfect from the NW, matching the optimum for Playa de Xago, and the wind is dead calm. It’s a clean, punchy little groundswell that will peel nicely.

Then we’ve got a bit of a wildcard on Monday the 7th of September. The morning sees a 7ft swell from the NW with a long 12-second period, and the energy is a massive 1229 (very strong). That’s a serious groundswell – it’s gonna be powerful and walled-up. At 7ft, it’s gettin’ into expert territory, and the cross-shore wind will make it a bit tricky. This is more for the crew who like it heavy and aren’t scared of a beat-down. The afternoons get blown out.

The tail end of the forecast, Wednesday the 9th of September, is also promising. Glassy, clean conditions with a 4ft WNW swell and 11-second period, energy at 565 (strong). The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean. A very nice end to the run.

Bottom line: The first week is a slow burner, with a few good glassy mornings from the 29th of August onward. The absolute best surf on offer is the morning of Friday the 4th of September – clean, head-high, with plenty of push. The big swell on the 7th of September is for experts only. If you’re a beginner, stick to the mornings when the swell is around 3ft to 4ft, and avoid any day with over 7ft.

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.
