The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking over the only game in town for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, let's be straight with each other. The next couple of days are a write-off for any proper surf. We're looking at minimal energy (37) on Monday the 3rd with nothing but knee-high slop at 1ft. It’s a flat start that stretches through to mid-week. But the glassy conditions on the Monday morning would be a dream if there was any push.
We finally see a pulse on the Wednesday morning the 5th. It’s tiny at 2ft from the NW, but the water temp is about average for this time of year at 69°, and with glassy conditions, it’s at least a chance to get the board wet. The real standout is shaping up for Thursday the 6th. The swell jumps to 4ft from the NNW with a combined energy of 300 (moderate), and we’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze. That’s going to be the pick of the first week – a proper session with some push.
After that, things get inconsistent again. A few half-hearted pulses come through, but the wind starts to mess with the shape. The end of the second week sees some bigger numbers, with the swell hitting 6ft from the NE on the 15th, but the period is a short 6 seconds, and the cross-shore wind will chop it right up. For a beach break like this, that short-period swell just won't hold its shape. It is all a bit disappointing after that Thursday morning.
The only real standout in this 16-day window is Thursday morning the 6th at Playa de Xago. Get on it. It’s the cleanest, most consistent offering with a decent 4ft, NNW swell.
Keep an eye on the forecast, things can change, but as it stands, it’s a lean run for us.

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.
