The Lowdown
Alright, I’m taking a look at Playa de Xago.
Right from the start, this forecast ain’t winning any prizes. The water is sitting at 70°F and running 4°F warmer than normal – so that’s a pleasant surprise for your skin, but as for the surf? It’s a long wait for the good stuff.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on Tuesday, July 22nd. We’ve got a small 4ft swell from the NNE with a short 7-second period. The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE, so it’s clean, but the energy is weak (163). The call is “surfable but ordinary.” Honestly, it’s a pass.
Then we hit a dry spell. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th are ugly – onshore wind, poor conditions, and the swell drops under 3ft. The energy numbers are in the dumps. This is the kind of week you’d sleep in.
Here’s the one bright spot: Monday, July 27th. The swell swings around to the NW with a 10-second period (groundswell), pushing 5ft. The energy jumps to 376 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE, keeping the surface clean. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is your session. The NW direction is exactly what this break wants, and it’s fully exposed. It might be a touch big for beginners, but for the intermediate crew, this is the one. Just be warned – crowds are often here, so get in early.
Tuesday the 28th hangs onto some leftovers at 4ft from the NNW with a 10-second period. The wind is still cross-off, but the call is “marginal.” You could get a wave or two, but it’s not a patch on Monday.
After that, it’s a long, slow fade. From July 29th all the way through to August 5th, we’re looking at tiny surf. A couple of glassy mornings on July 31st and August 1st, but the swell is barely 2ft. You could float around, but you won’t be surfing.
So the honest truth is this: in the whole 16-day window, the only standout is Monday, July 27th. After that, the second week is a bust. If that NW swell shows up, you’ll get clean, head-high waves at the top of the tide. For everything else, leave your board at home.

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

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.
