The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at Playa de Xago for the next couple weeks. Honestly, it’s a long dry spell before we get anything worth paddlin’ for. The first real shot of juice doesn’t show up until the second week, so you’ll need to sit tight.

The one that’s got my attention is Saturday the 8th of August. That morning we see a clean, glassy start with a 4ft swell out of the NW, period around 8 seconds, and combined energy sitting at 180 – that’s a moderate punch that’s a real step up from the tiny stuff before it. Winds are dead calm early so the surface is like glass. By the afternoon there’s a light cross-offshore breeze, still clean, and the swell holds at about 4ft with energy bumping to 192. This is the highlight of the whole outlook. For an intermediate surfer, this is your window. That NW direction is exactly what this spot wants, and it’s very consistent. Just remember – crowds are often here when it’s good.

The rest of the run is pretty flat. Starting from Thursday the 30th through the first week of August, it’s mostly under 2ft and messy. Thursday morning you get a 2ft NW swell with glassy air, but it’s ordinary – energy only 78. By afternoon the breeze swings cross-onshore and it’s done. Friday is even smaller. The weekend has a clean-ish morning Saturday but only 2ft NW swell. The whole first week of August is weak, with most swells under 2ft and energy often below 40.

After the Saturday pulse, it drops right back. Sunday the 9th has a clean morning with a 2ft W swell, but it fades fast. Then from the 10th through the 14th, it’s all under 3ft with onshore winds and poor energy. The 12-second period swell that shows on the 12th is from NW but only 0.3ft – that’s nothin’.

Bottom line: This spot needs a decent NW to wake up. Until that Saturday the 8th, it’s a real snoozer. That’s your day – get it while it’s glassy and clean, ’cause the days after look quiet again. Keep your board waxed, but don’t rush out too early.

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.
