The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Playa de Xago has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t let that fool you. This stretch is looking like a proper run of swell, and if you pick your moments, there are some absolute gems.

The water is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 3° above average, so it’s a bit of a treat.

The first couple of days are a write-off, honestly. Tuesday the 15th is flat and messy. Wednesday the 16th picks up a little, but the wind is all over the place. It’s not worth paddling out.

Thursday the 17th is where it starts to get interesting. Morning glass-off – that’s a 3 mph wind from the SW, dead calm. The swell is a clean 5 ft from the NW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 582. It'll be clean, lined up, and fun for an intermediate. It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far. That crowd factor is there, “often” busy, so get out early. This is a good one.

Then we hit the big stuff. Friday the 18th is a standout for experienced surfers only. Morning glass again (WSW, 3 mph), with a solid 7 ft NW swell at 13 seconds. The energy is strong at 1457. The waves will be powerful and well-shaped. But it gets even bigger in the afternoon – 10 ft from the NNW with a very long 15-second period, and the energy is massive at 3750. That is a serious groundswell, and the finder says it’s predicted to be too big for this break. It’s going to be a beast, and it’ll be breaking straight at the beach with that long period, so it’s more of a show than a go for most. The morning is the best call here, but only if you’ve got the skills.

Saturday the 19th is another great morning for the experienced crew. 7 ft from the NNW, 13-second period, with light offshore wind (E, 6 mph). It’s clean, powerful, and the energy is strong at 1699. The afternoon sees the wind pick up (ENE, 12 mph), which chops it up a bit.

We settle into a nice, clean pattern from Sunday the 20th through Wednesday the 24th. Swell drops to a very surfable 4 ft to 5 ft range, mostly from the NW and NNW, periods around 11 to 13 seconds. The wind is clean, cross-offshore from the east. Some sessions are glassier than others, but overall, this is a long run of decent, clean waves for all levels. The morning of Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th look particularly worth the paddle. Combined energy stays moderate, between 329 and 781.

Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd have a long-period (17 and 13 seconds) NW swell, which will offer some beautiful, long walls at the right bank, but the sets will be a bit more spaced out.

After a flat-ish spell on the 25th, Saturday the 26th delivers another blast for the experienced crew. A 5 ft morning swell from the NW, a very long 15-second period, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong at 1138. It’s clean and powerful.

Things get messy again from Sunday the 27th through Monday the 28th with strong onshore wind. The swell is up but the quality is poor.

The final standout is Tuesday the 29th morning. Clean offshore wind (SSW, 3 mph) meeting a 8 ft NW swell at 11 seconds. The energy is strong at 1351. This is excellent for strong intermediates and experts looking for one last push.

So, to wrap it up: my picks of the bunch are Thursday the 17th morning for a clean, fun session, and Friday the 18th morning for the experienced surfer wanting power. The long run from the 20th to the 24th is your most consistent bet for a fun, clean paddle.

Stay stoked, catch you in the water.

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. Our Playa de Xago surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. 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.
