The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty flat and messy, mostly just small, choppy windswell with poor conditions. You’re not missing much. Then, just when you might be getting bored, things shift.

The real standout window opens up on Monday, July 27th. Morning session is the call. We’ve got a clean 6 ft swell rolling in from the NNW with a solid 10-second period, and the wind is coming from the ENE, blowing cross-offshore. That’s the kind of setup that makes this place peel. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’re not freezing your toes off. The combined wave energy is pumping at 586 (moderate energy), so there’s some push behind it. This is the best on offer – get out there.

Tuesday morning, July 28th, is still worth a look. Slightly smaller at 4 ft from the NW, but still clean cross-offshore winds from the east. A solid option for a follow-up session.

After that, we get a bit of a lull again until Sunday, August 2nd. The morning and afternoon both show 6 ft-6 ft of NW swell with a 10-second period, and again, clean cross-offshore winds from the ENE. The combined energy is strong, hitting 542-585 (moderate to strong energy). This is a good bet for a weekend paddle, though it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.

The last real highlight is Wednesday, August 5th. Glassy conditions in the morning and afternoon with a 3 ft-4 ft NNW swell, period around 10 seconds. The wind is virtually nothing, glassy. That’s a clean, fun day for cruising.

Playa de Xago is a very consistent spot, so even when it’s not a standout, there’s usually something to ride. Just know that the crowd can be around often, so plan accordingly. For the first few days, you might want to just go for a paddle and wait for the real energy to hit on the 27th.

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.
