Alright, this is Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Playa de Xago. I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking like a pretty bleak stretch for most of the next two weeks. We’ve got a long, dry spell of mostly small, weak, and messy surf before we finally see something worth getting excited about.
The first solid recommendation doesn’t come until Saturday the 18th. Up until then, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The first few days start with tiny waves and poor conditions, and that theme carries right through the week. The energy is weak, with most readings under 100, and the winds are all over the place, often onshore or cross-onshore, just killing any chance of a clean wave. There’s a small bump on Sunday the 12th with a 3ft swell from the WNW, but the period is a short 9 seconds and the wind is straight onshore – it’s a mess.
From the 13th through the 17th, the swell drops right off. We’re talking about ankle-to-knee-high waves at best, with periods as low as 5 seconds. It’s clean at times, like on the morning of the 14th, but with only 1ft of swell, there’s nothing to ride. The energy is pitiful, with values like 17 and 25. It’s a real bummer of a stretch.
The first sign of life comes on Saturday morning the 18th. Playa de Xago will see a 4ft swell from the NW with a 6-second period. The wave energy is building, hitting 119, and the wind is completely glassy. It’s surfable, but the short period means it’s going to be a bit crumbly and weak. This is more of a "get your feet wet" session than a standout.
Then, we hit the real highlight. The morning of Saturday the 25th is the one to circle on your calendar. This is the best on offer. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the NW, and the energy jumps right up to 310. The wind is dead calm, glassy, and it’s the first time in ages we see a decent report. The following afternoon, the swell picks up to 5ft from the NW, and the period stretches to a very long 12 seconds, pushing the energy to a solid 583. That’s a lot of power. The wind is a light cross-shore, which is fine, but that very long period might make it a bit too lined up and fast for the beach break, but for a point or reef, it would be dreamy. For Playa de Xago, it will be a powerful, thick wave that’s definitely for the more experienced crew. This is the one to wait for, lads.
The water temperature sits at 67°F, which is about 2°F off the norm, so it’s pretty average for the time of year – no surprises there.
So, to wrap it up: the first week and a half is a write-off. The 18th is a little glassy session to get you by. But that Saturday the 25th and the weekend after is where the magic is promised. Get your board ready for that one.
Rusty.

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.
