The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Playa de Xago.
Straight up, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some small, weak swell, but the conditions are just ordinary. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd bring tiny waves around 2ft to 2ft, with a bit of cross-off wind, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The energy is weak (69 and 40). Friday the 4th is even worse, with poor conditions and onshore or cross-on wind. You’re better off doing something else.
Then we get a proper pulse of energy arriving on Saturday the 5th. The morning sees a jump to 3ft from the NW, with a solid 12-second period and a big jump in energy (438) – that’s moderate energy, and the cross-off wind from the east will keep it clean. This is the first real standout. The afternoon sees the swell building to 5ft with a long 14-second period, and energy up to 893, but the wind picks up to 15 mph, making it a bit more challenging. Sunday the 6th is a step down with onshore wind, so it gets messy.
Monday the 7th is a good call for a morning session. Glassy conditions, 3ft from the WNW with a nice 13-second period, and energy at 407. Clean, lined-up waves. Tuesday the 8th afternoon also looks tidy with glassy conditions and 4ft from the NW, but the period drops to 9 seconds.
The middle of the week gets blown out. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th morning have some okay energy, but Wednesday is hammered by strong onshore wind. Thursday the 10th morning, though, is glassy with 4ft from the NW and 10-second period – that’s a sneaky good session if you can get out early.
The real highlight, the one to circle on the calendar, is Saturday the 12th. Morning is dead calm, glassy, with 4ft from the NW and a 9-second period. Energy is moderate (265). The afternoon holds up with cross-off wind and the same size. Clean, consistent, and fun.
Then there’s another nice window: Tuesday the 15th morning is glassy with 4ft from the WNW and good energy (279). And the big one for the end of the forecast: Wednesday the 16th. Morning brings 5ft from the NW with a 12-second period, energy jumping to 747 – that’s strong energy. Cross-off wind from the east keeps it clean. The afternoon holds at 5ft with 11 seconds and energy at 573. This is the best swell of the whole 16 days, and it’s worth waiting for. Just keep in mind that longer-period swell like that can get a bit straight at beach breaks, but with the wind direction, it should be solid.
Playa de Xago is very consistent, exposed to the NW, and the optimum swell direction is NW, so this setup is a goer when the charts align. Crowds are often here, so expect company on the good days.
