The Lowdown

Alright, listen up. Rusty here with the full 16-day picture for Playa de Xago. Let me tell you, we are in for a mixed bag. The next few days are mostly a write-off, but there are some real gems hiding further out if you can wait.

Right now, we are looking at a quiet stretch. The water temp here is sitting at about 69.4°, which is just about bang on average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. For Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th, you can basically leave your board in the car. We're talking ankle-snappers below 1.6 ft with short, weak period swells. The combined energy is barely registering, getting up to only 52 early on. It's a total bust with “poor surf conditions” from the word go.

Wednesday the 26th teases us a little. Morning brings a tiny 1.6 ft glassy wave from the WNW, but with a short period of only 7 seconds, it’s weak. The energy is only 49. It’s "surfable but very ordinary". You might catch a couple of knee-high rollers if you're desperate, but it's not worth rushing for. That afternoon swings offshore and clean, but the swell drops out even more.

Thursday the 27th is where things start to wake up. The morning session sees a WNW swell build to 3.0 ft with an 8-second period, and the energy jumps up to 117. With light cross-offshore winds from the East, it’s clean and there's a bit more push. The afternoon gets even better with a full 3.3 ft, glassy conditions – dead calm wind – and the energy up to 125. This is the first real window of fun, small but clean. The WNW direction is what this break likes to see.

Friday the 28th is a mess. The morning swell jumps to 5.2 ft from the WNW with a moderate 11-second period, but a strong 15 km/h cross-onshore wind from the West chops it right up. Energy is a massive 791, but the quality is shot. By afternoon, the wind cranks to 25 km/h onshore and it's a complete no-go. Forget it.

Saturday the 29th is a proper standout. Get up early. The morning is magic: glassy calm, no wind, and a clean 4.9 ft NW swell with an 8-second period. The energy is a solid 311, and the conditions are labeled "expect good surf conditions". This is the pick of the first week. Clean, head-high waves, and with the NW direction hitting the exposed points right, it’s going to be fun. Crowds are listed as "often", so expect a few others with the same idea. It won't be empty, but it'll be worth it.

Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st drop off again. Sunday is small and weak, and Monday pumps back up to 6.6 ft from the NW with a 10-second period (energy hits 757), but it's onshore wind from the WNW. It'll be big but messy – a choppy wall, not a clean wave.

Now, here is the real highlight. Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning session is calling your name. We have a clean 5.2 ft NW groundswell, a solid 10-second period, and light cross-offshore winds from the East. The energy is 520, and the report says "expect very good surf conditions". This is the best-looking day of the whole outlook. It’s a classic Playa de Xago day: the NW swell direction is perfect for the break, the wind is right, and the size is solid. Do not sleep on this one.

Things then get a bit shaky again through to the 3rd, with smaller waves and mixed winds. Thursday the 3rd has clean 2.6 ft waves in the morning, but it’s weak.

Then we get another interesting one on Friday the 4th. The afternoon goes from 3.0 ft to a 4.6 ft NW swell with a very long 12-second period. The energy spikes to 500. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the North, which isn’t perfect, but with that long period groundswell, it’ll have plenty of shape. It might break a bit straight if you're on a beach break section, but the points and reefs should handle it beautifully.

Saturday the 5th stays solid but the wind gets messy again with a 15 km/h cross-onshore from the WNW. The swell holds at 4.6-4.9 ft with that nice 12-second period, but the chop will ruin it for paddle surfing. If the wind holds, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

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.
