The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on with Playa de Xago.

Right now, the water is sitting at about 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a nice little bonus if you’re in a shorty.

The opening of the forecast period is a bit of a non-starter. For the 4th and 5th, the waves are either too small or the conditions are just messy. The first sign of something worth paddling out for arrives on Saturday the 5th. By Saturday morning, we’ve got a solid NW swell pushing 5ft with a proper 14-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore. That’s a good combo: decent size, real groundswell energy, and the wind keeping the faces tidy. The afternoon holds similar size at 6ft but from the same NW direction, still with clean cross-offshore breezes. The combined energy jumps up into the strong range (872 and 1147) – there’s some proper push in the water. This is the standout window. Playa de Xago is exposed to this swell, and with clean conditions, it’s going to be the best on offer. Be aware, this spot can draw a crowd often, so get out there early and be ready to share.

Now, a word on that 6ft size: it’s getting into that territory where it’s not really a beginner wave. If you’re still finding your feet, maybe wait for a smaller day. Also, with a period over 11 seconds, this is a groundswell. At a beach break like this, a long-period swell can sometimes make waves close out a bit faster, so pick your peak carefully.

After that high point, Sunday the 6th drops off noticeably in size and quality, with onshore wind making things choppy. The rest of the first week has some flickers – like Monday morning the 7th with glassy 3ft surf, and then Wednesday the 9th looks good again. That Wednesday morning has a clean, cross-offshore wind and 5ft swell from the NW, with a moderate combined energy of 582. It’s worth a look.

Through the second week, the surf gets smaller and the quality becomes more hit-and-miss. The afternoon of the 13th holds some energy with a cross-offshore breeze keeping it clean, but the swell stays around 4ft. There’s another window on the 16th: Wednesday morning has glassy conditions and a 4ft NW swell. It’s not big, but glassy is glassy, and that’s always a treat. Beyond that, the last few days into the 19th are pretty weak, with small swell and only brief windows of clean conditions.

Overall, the standout is without doubt that Saturday the 5th. If you can get out, that’s the session to chase. After that, keep an eye on Wednesday the 9th morning and maybe that glassy morning on the 16th. The rest of the time, you’ll be hunting for a peak.

Rusty.
