Alright Rusty here again, let’s break it down for Playa de Xago.
Look, the next 16 days are a tough watch. Your best shot comes early on, and then it’s a long dry spell. After Friday morning, we’re talking more than a week of poor conditions.
Your one standout is Friday morning, July 3rd, at Playa de Xago. A NW groundswell pushes through at 4 ft with a 10-second period – that’s proper waves. Light cross-off winds from the ENE at 6 mph will keep the surface clean. Wave energy is moderate at 277. The water is running much warmer than usual at 68°. This spot breaks consistently, but expect the crowd to be there. For an intermediate surfer, this is the session.
After that, it falls apart. Friday afternoon the wind picks up, and from Saturday the 4th onward we’re looking at tiny swell and onshore breezes. Monday the 6th goes glassy but with only 2 ft of weak energy. From Tuesday the 7th all the way to Saturday the 18th, it’s onshore junk from the WNW, with wave heights barely reaching 2-3 ft and low energy (under 200). Even when the period stretches to 12 seconds around the 14th, the wind kills it. The swell direction never matches the optimal NW direction after that first morning.
There are glassy moments on Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, but the swell is tiny – 2 ft to 3 ft with low energy. Surfable, but just barely.
If you’re going, it’s Friday morning July 3rd or nothing. Most afternoons look better for a kite than a surfboard. It’s a quiet stretch, so don’t force it.
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.

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.
