Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cookin’ for Playa de Xago.

Look, it’s a bit of a slow burn to start. We’ve got some small, choppy stuff hanging around for the first week, but nothing to get excited about. The energy’s weak – combined energy sitting in the 20s and 30s – and the wind’s mostly up and down, keeping things messy. There’s a gap of nearly no decent surf from now until around the 20th of July. You’ll see tiny, glassy mornings on the 14th and 15th, but with swell under 2 ft and short periods, it’s barely a ripple.

Heads up, though. The real story is the last week of the month. Monday the 20th of July, the swell finally kicks in. Morning glass-off with an Easterly cross-off breeze – clean. The swell jumps to about 5 ft from the NNW, with period around 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 249 (moderate). That’s your first proper chance.

But the standout is Tuesday the 21st of July. And I mean *standout*. The Monday morning buildup gives way to a Tuesday morning that is pure magic. Glassy conditions, the swell is close to 8 ft from the NNW, period at a solid 9 seconds, and the combined energy rockets up to 853 – strong energy. That’s a proper groundswell, and on a beach break it might be a bit full-on for the average paddler, but for the experienced surfer, that’s a session to mark on the calendar. Winds are glassy, so expect clean, powerful lines. Just keep in mind, at 8 ft it’s expert territory. The swell direction (NNW) lines up nicely with the optimum NW for the break.

The 22nd and 23rd hold on with decent 7 ft and 5 ft swells, but the wind starts to swing onshore and the energy drops, so the window is tight. After that, it fades back into tiny junk by the weekend.

So, if you’re picking your days: Tuesday the 21st of July morning, no question. Get there early. The crowds are listed as “often”, so you won’t be alone, but for that quality, you won’t care. Monday the 20th is the runner-up, but Tuesday’s the one.

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.
