The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Playa de Xago has cookin' for us. The water's sitting at a nice 69.6°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a bonus.
This Saturday morning, the 12th, it's a slow start. We're looking at tiny 1.6ft waves from the WNW with a short period. The combined energy is weak (65). It's rideable, but it's pretty ordinary.
Sunday the 13th is where things start to get interesting. The morning brings a jump to 4.6ft from the NW with a 12-second period (590 energy). The wind is light and off the land, so those waves will be clean and lined up. It's looking like very good surf conditions.
After a bit of a lull Tuesday and into Wednesday morning, the 16th, we get a glassy morning with 4.6ft waves from the NNW. The period is short at 7 seconds, but the glass off makes it worth a look.
Now, the standout window kicks off Thursday morning the 17th. We wake up to 5.2ft of NW groundswell, 11-second period (604 energy), and glassy conditions. That's a great combo.
But the real gold is on Friday the 18th. This is the pick of the forecast. Clean, glassy conditions on the morning with 5.2ft from the NNW, and a 13-second period (1198 energy). By the afternoon, it pulses up to 7.2ft from the NNW with a 14-second period, ramping the energy up to a whopping 2082. This is expert territory, over 8ft, perfect for the experienced crew. The wind holds cross-offshore, keeping it all clean. The water will have a lot of power behind it.
Saturday the 19th isn't a slouch either, with another glassy morning of 6.6ft from the NNW (1380 energy). The surf stays solid through to Monday the 21st, with 5.9ft from the NW (1060 energy) in the morning. The northwest direction and the offshore winds are a dream for this spot.
Into the second week, the run continues. The morning of Sunday the 27th of September looks promising with 3.3ft from the NNW but a very long 16-second period, giving it 728 energy. That long period will bring some serious juice, so the point should be handling it beautifully. Just be aware that heavy afternoon session later that day gets up to 4.9ft with a 15-second period (1470 energy), but there's a chance the tide could mess with it, so keep an eye on that.
This is a great run for Playa de Xago. Get on it.
