The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for Playa de Xago.
We got a solid stretch of surf comin' up from early September right through the end of the month. Starts a bit slow on the 10th, but don't write it off – the first morning actually has some clean, rideable waves. The real highlight is the weekend of the 20th and 21st, where things get big and powerful.
Thursday 10th September morning has a clean 5 ft NW swell with a 10-second period. Water temp is 69°, a touch warmer than usual. Light offshore wind keeps it smooth. Energy is moderate (377). Afternoon drops a bit but still clean.
Friday 11th is smaller: morning has 3 ft waves, light breeze, but weak energy (142). Afternoon gets blown out. Not much going on.
Saturday 12th is flat – 2 ft morning, then a weird 1 ft wave with a 16-second period in the afternoon that won't work here. Skip it.
Sunday 13th – now we're talking. A 5 ft NW groundswell with a 12-second period rolls in. Morning is glassy, energy is strong (724). That's a proper session. Afternoon holds but gets a little bumpy.
Monday 14th smaller: 4 ft, clean but moderate breeze. Energy drops to 282. Average.
Tuesday 15th is poor. Onshore wind and choppy, only 2 ft. Afternoon goes full onshore with a 6-second windswell. Stay on land.
Wednesday 16th morning: glassy conditions with 4 ft NW swell, 8-second period. Energy decent (336). Fun and clean. Afternoon gets messy.
Thursday 17th is cross-shore, light wind, 4 ft swell. Nothing special – marginal.
Friday 18th morning: 3 ft NW groundswell with a 13-second period, clean. Energy moderate (357). Afternoon picks up to 4 ft with a 12-second period and clean cross-off breeze. Energy hits 420. Nice session.
Saturday 19th clean but unremarkable: 3 ft morning, then 5 ft afternoon with moderate breeze. Fine.
Sunday 20th is where it fires. Morning: 7 ft NW swell, light wind, energy strong (756). Afternoon: 8 ft NW, 9-second period, clean offshore, energy hits 1048. Excellent for experienced surfers.
Monday 21st morning: 10 ft NNW with a 13-second period – huge energy of 2904. Too big for this break, expert only. Afternoon drops to 8 ft, still heavy.
Tuesday 22nd solid: 7 ft NW morning, light cross-off winds, energy 984. Very good. Afternoon similar with more wind.
Wednesday 23rd holds: 6 ft NW morning, light wind, energy 696. Clean and powerful. Afternoon eases.
Thursday 24th is a standout: 5 ft NW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. Morning is glassy, energy massive at 1513. Excellent for experienced surfers. The long period gives it shape and punch.
Friday 25th morning: 8 ft NNW with a 13-second period, glassy, energy 1979. Expert territory. Afternoon stays big but gets cross-chop.
Best bets: Sunday 20th afternoon for that big clean 8 ft NW swell, and Thursday 24th morning for the glassy 5 ft long-period groundswell with monster energy. Crowds are often here, so get out early. The consistency is very good, so there's plenty to go around.
Rusty.

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.
