The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming our way for the next couple of weeks. The surf window’s looking a bit hit-and-miss to start, but we’ve got a couple of proper standouts if you’re willing to wait.

We’re kicking off at Playa de Xago with honest-to-goodness small stuff. The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are tiny and messy with that cross-onshore wind, not worth paddling out for. Thursday the 27th holds a little hope with a glassy moment in the afternoon – we’re talking tiny 3 ft from the WNW, period only 8 seconds, so not much push. The combined swell energy is still low at 74. Friday the 28th is a no-go with a solid 7 ft to 8 ft but howling onshore wind; that’s just blown-out junk.

Now, Saturday the 29th is where we start to see a bit of life. Morning glass-off with a clean 5 ft from the NW, period still short at 8 seconds. The energy’s moderate at 270, but that glassy surface makes it super fun for a groveler. A standout for the smaller-wave crew. Sunday the 30th is glassy again in the AM with 3 ft, but it fades.

Monday the 31st gets a bump in size to 5 ft–5 ft from the NW, period hitting 10 seconds. The wind is messy, though, so it’s marginal.

Now, listen up. Tuesday the 1st of September is the real deal. Morning glass-off, crystal clear, with a clean 5 ft of NW groundswell, period a solid 10 seconds. The energy is a moderate 551, and with offshore ESE wind, it’s going to be lined up and hollow. This is the standout in the first week – get on it early before the crowds roll in because this spot does pull a crowd.

Wednesday the 2nd keeps the 5 ft NW swell going with glassy morning conditions, another good sesh.

The middle of the week drops off again, getting small and choppy through to Friday the 5th.

Now, the real big one is Monday the 8th of September. We’ve got a massive 10 ft from the NW with a very long 14-second period – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is a massive 3324, which is strong. Here’s the catch: it’s a beachie setup, and that long period can make it close out and break straight. That size is strictly for experts only – way too big for beginners. The morning looks clean with cross-off wind, so it could be epic for the crew who know what they’re doing. But keep in mind, this is more than a week out, so treat it as a promising but flukey call.

Tuesday the 9th sees a smaller, cleaner 5 ft from the NNW with glassy conditions again, a good consolation prize.

Water temp at Playa de Xago is sitting at 69°F, which is about average for this time of year, nothing weird.

Alright, that's the picture. Stay patient, hit that glassy Tuesday the 1st, and keep an eye on the big pulse on the 8th.

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. 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.
