The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down what Playa de Xago has in store.
First off, the forecast starts quiet. Don’t expect much for the first few days. There’s a dry spell until we get a pulse of energy around the 27th of August.
On the 24th of August, there’s surfable waves but conditions are ordinary with thunderstorms possible. Swell is tiny at 2ft from the NE with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak (60). Not worth paddling out.
The 27th of August, Thursday morning, brings a little more size. Swell is 4ft from the WNW with an 8-second period. Combined swell energy is moderate (150). Wind is light cross-offshore so it’ll be clean, but it’s still just ordinary. Surfable, but nothing special.
Now for the good stuff. Saturday the 29th of August is looking prime. A glassy morning with calm wind and a solid 5ft swell from the NW at 8 seconds. Combined swell energy is moderate (319). This is the real deal – clean, lined up, and consistent. The break is very consistent so you’ll get plenty of waves, but crowds are often here, so get in early.
Tuesday morning the 1st of September is another standout. Glassy conditions again, calm wind, and a 5ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period. Combined swell energy is moderate (380). This will have more shape and power. Perfect for intermediate surfers.
Looking into the second week, the 8th of September is a big call. Tuesday morning brings a 5ft swell from the NW with a very long 17-second period. Combined swell energy is strong (1190). Tuesday afternoon sees a bump to 5ft with a 16-second period and a massive combined energy of 1290. The wind goes glassy. This is a standout for experienced surfers only – that long-period groundswell will create powerful, hollow waves with long lulls between sets. Keep tabs on this one.
Water temp is 69°, which is about average for this time of year.
Slow to start, but the second half of the forecast has some solid, clean waves on offer.
