The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, checking in on the local stretch. We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming up, but there are a couple of days that are gonna be worth the paddle out.

Kicking things off on Wednesday the 26th, you wouldn't even know it's summer with that tiny 1ft NW swell. The energy is weak (34), so don't bother paddling out yet. It’s flat.

Thursday the 27th sees a slight bump up to 3ft from the WNW, still with weak energy (75 to 92). The big story is the wind. Thursday afternoon goes glassy, which is a rare treat, turning those tiny waves into something fun for a log. It’s ordinary wave-wise but the clean surface makes it a sneaky good session for the longboard crew.

Friday the 28th is a hard pass. The swell jumps, but it's a messy 7ft to 8ft with onshore wind, making for poor conditions. Not worth it.

Alright, surf's back on the menu. Saturday the 29th morning is a standout for the weekend. The wind goes totally glassy, and we get a clean 4ft NW swell with moderate energy (227). That calm wind is a major plus, it’s going to be clean and fun for intermediates. Saturday afternoon loses the glass and gets a bit of cross-shore wind, so hit that morning session.

Sunday the 30th is another morning special. We get a glassy 5ft NW groundswell (10-second period) with solid moderate energy (459). The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so don't stress about a wetsuit. The morning is the call here; the wind swings onshore in the afternoon.

Monday the 31st is a write-off. The swell is a messy 6ft with poor winds, making it a skunked day.

Now for the long-range. Tuesday the 1st of September is your next proper glassy morning. The NNE wind drops to zero, giving us clean 4ft WNW swell (270 energy). It's a nice reset.

The middle of the week, Wednesday the 2nd through Thursday the 3rd, is small and clean, but you're looking at knee to thigh-high waves.

Here's the real standout of the whole outlook. Look no further than Saturday the 5th of September. The morning is looking incredible. The wind goes glassy with a clean 5ft NW groundswell with a long 11-second period. The combined wave energy is a strong 748. This is the kind of day that has long lines, real push, and the offshore wind is going to make it flawless. This is an intermediate's dream and a must-surf day.

The swell drops off on Sunday the 6th, but then we get another banger window.

Tuesday the 8th of September morning is another stellar call. Calm winds, things get glassy again, and we have a solid 6ft NW swell with strong energy (566). It's going to punch a bit.

But the absolute pick of the whole 16 days has to be Wednesday the 9th of September. That afternoon session is for the experienced crew. You're looking at a clean 8ft NW swell, a near-perfect offshore wind, and huge energy registering at 1183. The waves are going to be proper, powerful, and lined up. This is only for those with the skills as it’s over 8ft and packing a punch. The morning of the 9th is also glassy and a very good option for the rest of us with a 7ft swell.

Thursday the 10th winds it down with a clean, surfable 6ft NW swell to wrap things up.

So to wrap it up: the absolute top-tier sessions are the glassy morning of Saturday the 5th of September, and the clean, powerful afternoon on Wednesday the 9th of September.

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.
