Alright, let’s be real with you. This forecast for Playa de Xago is a tough one to get excited about right now. The whole 16-day window is looking lean. We’ve got a long gap with no real surf on offer—the first few days are a write-off. There’s just no pulse in the water.

Things start to look a little less bleak around Thursday morning, July 9th. We’ll see a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the WNW, and with the wind going glassy, the surface will be clean. But the period is short at 9 seconds, so the waves won’t have much drive. The combined energy is weak (68), so it’s just small, ordinary surf. Nothing to write home about, but it’s the first time you could actually paddle out without fighting crap conditions.

Sunday morning, July 12th, might be your best shot in this whole stretch. The wind is completely calm, dead glass, and we’re looking at a 3ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period. The combined energy bumps up to 117, so there’s a bit more push behind it. Still, these are not stand-out waves by any stretch—just the least worst of a bad bunch. The water temperature is sitting around 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so that’s a small blessing.

From the 13th through the 16th, it’s mostly poor conditions again with onshore or cross-onshore winds and dropping swell heights. We do get a brief window on Friday morning, July 17th—a glassy morning with a tiny 3ft WNW swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds, giving waves with very little shape. The energy is only 50, so don’t expect much.

After that, the forecast turns into a long stretch of small, weak surf with frequent light winds, but nothing that breaks the “poor” barrier. There’s a bigger push on Wednesday afternoon, July 22nd, with a 5ft WNW swell and energy hitting 162, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s described as “poor surf conditions” and fairly choppy. That size, with that wind direction, will be a messy, bumpy affair—more of a kite-surfing kind of setup than a good paddle session. For beginners, that 5ft is getting on the bigger side, and with the chop, it’s a no-go for learning.

Honestly, this is a blank run for Playa de Xago. The surf stays small, the swell direction is not ideal for this exposed spot, and the wind keeps messing it up. It’s one of those periods where the forecast is just not delivering. Stick to the longboards and keep an eye on the sky—forecasts can change.

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.
