The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got on the cards. The next couple of weeks are a mixed bag, but there are definitely some sessions to get excited about.
We'll start the story at Playa de Xago. Look, the first few days are a bit of a letdown – Friday and Saturday are just small and average, hardly worth paddling out for. You can pretty much write off the first four days if you're looking for anything special.
Sunday the 13th is where it starts to get interesting. Sunday morning sees a nice jump in energy with a 5ft NW swell rolling in, carrying moderate wave energy (590). The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping things clean. That's the first real window for a decent session. Monday the 14th holds some okay 4ft NW swell in the morning, but it's not quite as punchy.
Then, after a pretty forgettable Tuesday the 15th with onshore wind messing things up, we get a couple of glassy mornings. Wednesday the 16th has a punchy 5ft NW swell with glassy conditions – the energy is moderate (339) and it should be clean, though the period is a touch short. The real standout of the first week, though, is Thursday the 17th. That morning you've got a 5ft NW groundswell with a solid 11-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is strong (604) and the forecast is for very good surf. That’s the session to circle on your calendar. The morning of Friday the 18th is also worth a mention – clean with a 3ft NNW swell, but it's the day after the main event.
Now, looking into the second week, it gets a bit heavy. Sunday the 20th is a big one. Sunday morning is pumping a clean 7ft NW groundswell with a 12-second period. The energy is very strong (1173) and conditions are clean. That's serious swell – big and powerful, only for experienced surfers. Monday the 21st still has a solid 5ft NW swell, but the wind picks up a bit. Later in the week, Thursday the 24th afternoon sees a big jump with an 8ft NNW groundswell, packing very strong energy (2264), but it comes with a marginal forecast, so conditions might be tricky.
Overall, if I had to pick the best two of the bunch: Thursday the 17th morning for that clean, strong groundswell, and Sunday the 20th morning for the big, powerful, clean NW swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual to report there. Keep an eye on that Sunday swell – it's the real heavy hitter of the whole period.
Stay stoked,
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.
