Playa de Xago Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Yo, what’s up? Rusty here, checking in for the local surf. Gotta say, we’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, especially for the more experienced crew. The pattern starts real clean on Monday morning and builds into a serious standout event later on.

Monday, September 7th kicks it off with a glassy morning at Playa de Xago. The wind is dead calm, and the swell is a clean 3ft from the WNW with a nice long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the water is feeling about average for this time of year. The combined energy is pumping at 411 (moderate), and those conditions are going to be super clean. This is a very consistent spot, so expect a few heads out – crowds are often. The afternoon shifts a little with a light cross-onshore breeze, but it’s still surfable.

Tuesday sees a bit of a drop in quality. The wind gets cross-shore in the morning, and the swell period drops to 10 seconds. The afternoon brings onshore wind and rain, so not a great call.

Wednesday, September 9th morning is back to glassy with a 5ft swell from the NW. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weaker and more crumbly, but the calm wind makes it fun. The afternoon picks up a nice 6ft from the NNW with a longer 11-second period. The combined energy jumps to 739 (moderate), but a cross-shore breeze keeps it from being perfect.

Thursday, September 10th is a good one. Morning has a light offshore breeze from the ESE, with a 5ft NNW swell at 10 seconds. Clean and punchy. The afternoon stays clear with a cross-off breeze, waves at 4ft, and combined energy of 249 (moderate). This is a solid day for a session.

The surf then winds down over the weekend, getting smaller and weaker through to Saturday, September 12th. The afternoon of the 12th has a weird 2ft swell but with a very long 16-second period. That’s essentially no energy for a beach break, but combined energy is 182 (weak). Just a strange one.

Now, here’s the real standout. Sunday, September 13th is the best of the whole forecast. Both morning and afternoon are firing with a 6ft swell from the NW, a long period of 14 seconds, and clean, cross-off winds. The combined energy hits 1303 (strong) in the morning and 1196 (strong) in the afternoon. That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers. For a spot that’s exposed to the NW, this is a dream. The crowds are often, but it’ll be worth it. This is a session you do not want to miss.

Monday, September 14th morning is glassy again with a 5ft NW swell, period of 12 seconds, and combined energy of 514 (moderate). Super clean. The afternoon gets a little cross-onshore, so the morning is the call.

After that, the surf stays average with a mix of clean but marginal conditions. Thursday, September 17th gets a bit bigger, with a 7ft to 7ft NW swell, period of 10 seconds, and combined energy in the 800s (moderate). That’s getting into expert-only territory if it’s a bit dumpy, but the wind is cross-off, so it’s clean.

Friday, September 18th morning glass again with a 5ft swell, but the period is a short 9 seconds. The weekend of the 19th and 20th sees onshore winds kick in, so it’s not great.

Monday, September 22nd is the last call, with a small 3ft NNW swell and a 9-second period. Clean, but ordinary.

So, the standout is absolutely Sunday, September 13th. If you’re an experienced surfer, that’s your day. The morning of Monday, September 7th and Thursday, September 10th are also quality options for the more intermediate crew. The forecast is solid for the first week, but the second week is more hit and miss. Keep an eye on the wind.

Stay stoked.
