The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming in feet and miles per hour.
The first surfable day is Wednesday the 16th, but it’s a tough start. Wednesday morning we have a 5ft NW swell at 9 seconds, cross-on from the NNE at 9 mph, and it’s choppy. Wednesday afternoon is a bit better at 6ft NW, 10 seconds, but still cross-on, and only marginal.
Thursday the 17th morning at Playa de Xago finally turns the corner. Glassy, dead calm, with a clean 6ft NW swell at 10 seconds. The combined energy (627) is moderate, but that glassy wind is the big story—clean, smooth conditions for an intermediate.
The standout is Friday the 18th morning. A solid 7ft NW groundswell with a 13-second period, and glassy conditions from the NE at just 3 mph. Combined energy is strong at 1527. This is clean, powerful, and well-shaped for experienced surfers. That 13-second period means longer waits between sets, but the waves will have real punch. This is not for beginners.
Friday afternoon the swell jumps to 10ft from the NNW with a 14-second period. Combined energy hits a massive 3408. That is heavy, powerful surf, and it’s too big for this break. Only for top-tier experts.
Saturday the 19th is still solid. The morning holds a 7ft NNW swell at 13 seconds, cross-off from the ESE at 6 mph, and strong energy (1699). Clean conditions. Saturday afternoon eases to 7ft, still cross-off but with a stronger 12 mph breeze. Still good for experts.
Sunday the 20th through Monday the 21st stays clean. Sunday morning offers 6ft NW at 11 seconds, cross-off winds, and moderate energy (688). Monday morning is similar with 5ft NW at 12 seconds, clean cross-off, and moderate energy (625). Very surfable.
The swell drops through Tuesday and Wednesday but remains clean. Wednesday the 23rd morning has a 4ft NW groundswell at 14 seconds, with clean cross-off winds and moderate energy (770). That long period gives good shape.
A second standout window is Thursday the 24th morning, with a 4ft NW swell at 12 seconds and glassy conditions from the SW. Combined energy is moderate at 411. Perfect for a long clean session.
The final week from the 25th to the 30th sees smaller swell, mostly 3ft to 4ft, with shorter periods down to 9-10 seconds. Conditions stay mostly clean, but the energy is weak. Monday the 28th morning offers a glassy 4ft NW at 12 seconds with 561 energy—still a nice option.
Thursday the 1st of October ends with a weak 3ft NNW at 11 seconds, cross-on and choppy. Not worth the paddle.
Bottom line: Friday the 18th morning is the one to circle. Thursday the 24th is another clean winner. Get on it.

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.
