The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a good look at what’s on offer for Playa de Xago over the next 16 days.

We’ve got a real mixed bag coming up. The first few days are pretty flat and ordinary, nothing to get excited about. It’s not until the 5th of September that things start to wake up, and then we’ve got a couple of windows that look proper. The standout is definitely the 9th of September, with a solid pulse of groundswell and glassy conditions. There’s another interesting one further out, on the 15th, but that’s a long way off and we’ll have to see how it shapes up.

Alright, let’s break it down. The first solid surfable day is Saturday the 5th of September. Saturday morning, the wind is a light cross-off from the east at 9 mph, keeping things clean. We’ve got a 4 ft swell from the northwest, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, meaning good shape and energy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 268 (units). It’s not huge, but it’s a solid, fun size for an intermediate. The water temp is about 68°F, which is pretty average for the time of year, nothing unusual. The afternoon gets a bit gusty, so hit the morning session.

Then we get into the real goods. Sunday the 6th of September, the morning is looking prime. The swell pushes up to 5 ft from the northwest, with a period of 12 seconds – that’s long period groundswell, full of power. The combined energy jumps to 490 (units), which is solid. The wind is a light cross-off from the east at 3 mph, basically glassy. This is a great day for a point break or reef, as that long period will stand up nicely. The afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms and a shift to a light offshore from the southeast, which could clean it up even more if the rain holds off. This is a top contender.

Now, the absolute standout: Monday the 7th of September afternoon. The wind drops to glassy, coming from the northwest at 3 mph. We’ve got a 4 ft swell from the west-northwest at 11 seconds, with combined energy of 356 (units). That’s clean, lined-up, and perfect for a session. If you can only surf one day, this afternoon window is the one.

But the real gem might be Wednesday the 9th of September. Early morning, the swell hits 5 ft from the northwest, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a punchy 657 (units). The wind is glassy, from the north at 3 mph. That’s the biggest swell of the run so far, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be a proper session. For an intermediate, 5 ft is the upper end of fun, but it’s manageable. The afternoon gets a bit cross-onshore, so the morning is the call.

We have a bit of a lull after that, with the next good window on Thursday the 10th of September. The morning has a clean 5 ft swell from the northwest, 9-second period, and light cross-off wind. Combined energy is 321 (units). It’s solid, but not as good as the 9th.

Then there’s a gap. The next real chance is Saturday the 12th of September. The morning has a 5 ft swell from the northwest, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. The combined energy is 296 (units), and the wind is a cross-off from the east at 9 mph. It’s surfable, but not the best of the run.

The long-range promise is Tuesday the 15th of September. The afternoon has a sizeable 5 ft swell from the northwest, with a very long period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 790 (units) – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is a cross-on from the north at 6 mph, so it won’t be perfect, but the power will be there. For a beach break, that long period might make it a bit straight, but at a point or reef, it could be epic. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it.

Wednesday the 16th of September morning is a nice glassy, 3 ft session from the west-northwest, with a 10-second period and calm wind. It’s a clean, small day to finish the run.

Playa de Xago is a consistent spot, and it’s often got a crowd, so expect company on the better days. The optimum swell direction is northwest, and that’s exactly what we’re getting. The best on offer is the afternoon of the 7th of September, with that glassy, clean 4 ft groundswell, and the morning of the 9th of September, with the bigger 5 ft and glassy conditions. Don’t miss those.

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.

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.
