Playa de Xago Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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.
