The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's cookin' for Playa de Xago. To be straight with you, this outlook is a tough one. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, but the surf is pretty flat for the first several days, so don't bother paddling out just yet.

Right off the bat, from Wednesday the 15th right through to the morning of Sunday the 20th, it's a write-off – we're talking tiny, weak, poor surf with a combined energy barely scratching 50 (23). The water's sitting at a noticeably warm 69°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that's about all the excitement we'll get. The wait finally breaks on the morning of Monday the 20th. We get a tiny pulse of 2ft swell from the NNW, period 7 seconds and clean cross-offshore winds from the ENE, so it's ridable but very ordinary. The energy is still weak at 68.

Then things get a bit more interesting. The real standout in this whole 16-day stretch is the morning of Tuesday the 21st. We get a pulse of 5ft swell from the NE, period 7 seconds, with light ENE cross-offshore winds – that combo makes for some clean surf. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 257, so there's some real push behind the waves. It's still a manageable size, not big enough to scare off the intermediates, but it's a far cry from the flat spell.

The morning of Wednesday the 22nd is also worth a mention, with a similar setup: 5ft from the NE, clean cross-off winds, and energy at 201. It's a solid follow-up session.

After that, the energy drops right back down. The rest of the week and into the second week is all very small, weak surf with combined energy values mostly below 100. We get a few glassy mornings on the 25th and 27th, but with swell barely reaching 3ft and energy at 80, it's more of a longboard cruise than a proper surf. The period jumps to 11 seconds on the afternoon of the 25th, which is a longer interval, but with a tiny 1ft swell from the NW, it won't have the height to do much. A few days later, on Tuesday the 28th, we see a 4ft swell from the WNW, but it's onshore wind and a short period, making for messy, poor conditions. Not worth the effort.

Bottom line: if you're desperate for a paddle, target the morning of Tuesday the 21st or Wednesday the 22nd. After that, it's back to waiting.

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.

If you surf the same spot (Playa de Xago) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
