The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up over the next couple of weeks at Playa de Xago.
The first real action kicks off Wednesday September 9th with a solid pulse of NW swell. The water’s sitting at 69° – a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus. The morning’s the pick early on, with a clean 5ft NW swell, period around 8 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze from the ENE. Not massive, but the energy’s moderate (434) and the conditions are clean. The afternoon sees the swell bump up a bit to 6ft from the NNW, but the wind swings cross-shore and the period stretches to 11 seconds – it’ll be a bit lumpier, but still worth a paddle if you’re keen.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th keep things rolling with smaller, cleaner surf. Thursday morning has 5ft NNW swell, light cross-off wind, clean faces, and moderate energy (377). Friday morning is the real standout here – glassy conditions, 3ft NW swell, and a slight air. It’s small, but that glass makes it pure joy for a longboard or a funboard. Energy’s weak (147) but the vibe is high.
Saturday the 12th drops right off – we’re talking knee-high dribble with a weird 16-second period on a tiny 1ft swell in the afternoon. Not your friend. Wait it out.
Now, Sunday the 13th – that’s the real highlight of the whole outlook. Morning session brings 5ft NW swell, 12-second period, and moderate energy (824) – this is proper groundswell, clean and powerful. The wind’s light cross-off from the east. This is the best on offer. The longer period means it’ll wall up nicely, but at a beach break like Playa de Xago it could be a bit straight – still, for an intermediate surfer, this is the session to aim for. Good quality, consistent.
Monday the 14th holds a bit of size (4ft NW) but the wind freshens in the afternoon and the conditions get marginal. Not a write-off, but Sunday morning is where it’s at.
Tuesday the 15th is a write-off – strong onshore wind, lumpy, forget it.
The following week, from Wednesday the 16th to Thursday the 17th, there’s a bit of a rebound. Thursday the 17th morning offers clean 3ft WNW swell, 11-second period, light breeze, and good energy (291). It’s not pumping but it’s surfable and clean.
Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th see a mix of poor conditions and then a tidy little Saturday morning pulse – glassy again on the 19th with 4ft NW swell, 11-second period, and light offshore from the ESE. Clean and fun.
Sunday the 20th afternoon picks up 5ft from the NE, but it’s a short period 6-second windswell and the wind’s moderate – marginal but might offer a few lumpy walls for a shortboard if you’re desperate.
Monday the 21st morning is glassy again with a 2ft NW groundswell, 12-second period – tiny but perfect for a log.
From Tuesday the 22nd onward, the surf dwindles to ankle-snappers – 1ft to 2ft – and the conditions turn poor or ordinary. The last few days of the outlook, up to Thursday the 24th, are flat and forgettable.
So to sum it up: the real standouts are Friday September 11th morning for glassy small waves, and Sunday September 13th morning for the best size, shape, and clean conditions of the whole forecast. Don’t sleep on that Sunday.
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.

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.
