The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on offer at Playa de Xago over the next couple weeks. The standout is right at the start – Monday July 27th. That morning we've got a solid 6ft swell from the NNW, with a 10-second period. Combined energy is 555 – that's a good pulse of power. Wind is east at 9 mph, cross-off, keeping the surface clean. Water temp is about 68°F, pretty average for the season. Crowds are often here, so don't expect solitude. That's the session to chase.
Monday afternoon holds up with 5ft, but the wind picks up a bit. Tuesday the 28th is still rideable – 4ft in the morning with light east wind, cross-off, but energy drops to 286. After that, it's a long dry spell. From Wednesday the 29th through the first week, it's mostly tiny and weak, with onshore winds ruining any chance of clean waves. Swell heights under 3ft, periods dropping, and energy values in the double digits. Big gap of poor conditions.
Then around August 10th, a small bump appears. Monday the 10th morning gives us 4ft from the NNW with glassy conditions – clean, but energy is only 179 and the period is short at 8 seconds. It's surfable but nothing to write home about. The rest of that week stays small and messy. So bottom line: if you want a decent wave, get out Monday the 27th morning. After that, it's a waiting game.
Stay stoked, 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.
