The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there’s definitely some nice windows for the savvy surfer.
First thing to know is the water’s sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nothing crazy, but a nice little bonus.
The start of the period is a write-off. Friday the 4th is small, messy, and blowing cross-on with a combined swell energy of just 90. Don’t bother. Saturday the 5th is where things get interesting. The swell pushes up, and while the morning is a bit marginal, by Saturday afternoon we’ve got a clean 6ft NW swell with a nice 13-second period, good cross-off wind from the east, and the combined energy is pumping at 1147. That’s a solid, powerful swell for experienced surfers. Early next week, Monday morning the 7th is worth a look – glassy conditions with a 3ft WNW groundswell and a 13-second period, and the wave energy is moderate at 411. It won’t be huge, but it’ll be clean and lined up.
The real standout is Wednesday the 9th. That morning is clean with a 6ft NNW swell, a long 13-second period, and the combined energy hits 1269. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The swell direction is a solid NNW, and with that cross-off breeze, the waves are going to have proper shape and power. Keep that morning circled.
Thursday the 10th has a glassy, calm morning with a 5ft NNW swell, but it’s not quite as strong. A good clean option if you can’t make Wednesday.
After that, the waves taper off for a while. There’s a proper gap from the 11th right through to the 17th of September. It gets small, wind-affected, and the energy drops into the double digits. Not worth the paddle.
Then, on Friday the 18th, things start to rebuild with a clean but marginal 5ft swell and moderate energy. But the gold is Saturday the 19th. That morning is clean again, with a solid 7ft NW swell, a nice 12-second period, and the combined energy is roaring at 1111. That’s another proper session for experienced surfers. Just be aware, with that kind of size and a long period, it’s going to have some punch. It’s exposed here, so the setups will be handling a lot of energy.
If you’re planning a trip, the best bets are the morning of Wednesday the 9th and the morning of Saturday the 19th. Both have top-quality, powerful, clean swell.
