The Lowdown
Alright, ol’ mate Rusty here, layin’ it out in feet and miles per hour.
We’ve got a slow starter, then a build-up, and a couple of real gems if you wait it out. Playa de Xago is the spot – very consistent, and it loves that NW swell.
Water temp is about 70°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus.
Thursday the 10th kicks off with a clean 5ft swell from the NNW, period around 10 seconds. Moderate energy (377). Wind is light cross-off, so it’s clean but nothing special.
Friday the 11th is smaller – about 3ft from the NW in the morning. The wind goes light offshore though, making it glassy smooth. Energy is weak (142). A fun little session.
Sunday the 13th is the first standout. Morning brings a solid 5ft NW swell with a 12-second period. Energy is up at 646 – that’s solid. Light cross-off wind keeps it clean. This is a top pick. Afternoon bumps to 5ft but the wind picks up.
Monday the 14th still offers a clean 4ft with an 11-second period. Good fun.
Tuesday the 15th is trash – onshore wind blows it out.
Thursday the 17th is the absolute gem. Morning is glassy – wind dead calm from the SSE at only 3 mph. Swell is 6ft from the NW, 11-second period, and energy of 730. Clean, powerful, and perfect. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Friday the 18th is still decent – 4ft, clean, but a step down.
Sunday the 20th sees another glassy morning with a 4ft NW groundswell, long 13-second period. Energy of 448. Great shape and power.
Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd both have glassy mornings with waist-high 3ft NW swell. Clean, consistent, no wind.
Now, the big one on Friday the 25th: a massive 12ft swell from the NNW with a very long 15-second period. Energy is a whopping 5868. That is huge. But it’s too big for Playa de Xago – experts only, and it might get dangerous. Morning wind is light offshore, so it’ll look pretty, but don’t risk it unless you’re a seasoned charger.
Best bets: Sunday morning 13th and Thursday morning 17th at Playa de Xago. Clean, solid, and the swell direction is perfect. The 25th is for the brave.
Get after it.

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.
