The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
Straight off, we’re not looking at a flat start – there’s something to surf right away. The first one to get excited about is Tuesday, September 1st, in the morning. The water is a comfortable 20°, which is about average for now. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell coming from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a decent groundswell, and with glassy conditions from a light easterly breeze, it’s going to be clean as a whistle. The wave energy is moderate at 383, so there’s some proper punch. This is a solid session for an intermediate surfer.
The next real highlight is on the morning of Saturday, September 5th. Swell comes in at 3ft from the NW, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, the faces should be tidy. Wave energy is moderate (201). Not huge, but clean and fun.
If you can hold out, the back half of the forecast has a couple of crackers. Tuesday morning, September 15th, serves up a clean 3ft NW swell with a 12-second period – that long period means more juice and better shape. Wave energy is a solid 424. Then, Wednesday morning, September 16th, is looking like the real winner: glassy conditions, a nice 4ft NW groundswell with that same 12-second period, and a big wave energy reading of 433. This is probably the best of the whole window.
There are a few days, especially around Thursday and Friday of the first week, where the swell is small and nothing special. The afternoon of Sunday, September 6th, is a total mess with strong onshore winds – stay on the beach that day. Also, crowds are common here, so if you see a glassy morning, get there early.
Best bet: that Wednesday, September 16th morning session. Cleanest conditions and the most grunt.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
