The Lowdown
Alright, gang, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the waves at Playa de Xago.
The water temp is about 69°, which is a degree or so warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice.
The first week or so is a bit of a slow burner. There’s not much to write home about until Wednesday the 9th. That morning, the wind goes completely flat, glassy, with a 5ft NW swell at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (447). It’s a short-period swell, but it’ll be clean.
The real standout, and the one you want to plan for, is Sunday the 13th. The morning session is the best. You’ve got a 6ft NW swell with a 13-second period. That’s proper groundswell. The wind is glassy, and the energy is strong (1011). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The afternoon is also very good, with a 6ft NNW swell, cross-off wind, and clean conditions.
Another one to mark is Thursday the 17th. The afternoon looks very good, with a 6ft NNW swell and a 12-second period, with clean cross-off winds and a combined energy of 959.
The following morning, Friday the 18th, is also a big one. You’ll have a 8ft NNW swell – that’s for the experts only – with glassy conditions. The energy is 795.
Keep in mind, Playa de Xago often gets crowded, so get down early for the best sessions.
The rest of the forecast tails off into smaller, cleaner waves, but nothing that’s going to be a classic.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Playa de Xago can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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).
