The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get down to it. There’s not a whole lot happening on the horizon for the next few days. You’ll be fighting small, weak waves and choppy conditions for a while.

The water is a warm 69°F, which is a touch above normal, so no worries there.

Right now, we’re looking at a dead period. The 25th and 26th have basically nothing—waves from 0.2m to 0.4m—with a morning shower and light cross-shore breezes messing up the surface. Not worth your time.

Thursday the 27th is a little better. Swell bumps to 0.9m, but the period is only 8 seconds. It’s weak and crumbly. The wind goes glassy, which is nice, but the energy is just not there. The combined swell energy is only 36 to 99, which is weak. You're better off doing something else.

We've got a rough few days coming up. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th see the swell pick up to 1.6m, but with a 7-second period, it’s going to be a jumbled mess. The wind is onshore and strong, making it lumpy and choppy. This is a situation where the kite surfers will be having more fun than us. The swell energy jumps to 494 on Friday, but it's not working in our favor.

Now, hold on. Sunday the 30th is where it starts to get interesting. The swell drops to 1.0m, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. That’s your first real window. It’s not big, but it’s clean. The energy is at 238, still moderate, but the conditions will make it feel better.

Monday the 31st is a step back with cross-onshore wind making things lumpy. Let’s skip that.

But then, Tuesday the 1st of September. That’s the one to circle. The wind is dead calm, fully glassy. Swell is a clean 1.3m from the NW with a 9-second period. This is your best morning of the first week. This is the standout. The wave energy is at 255, still moderate, but the clean conditions will make it feel like a much better wave. Get on it early.

The rest of the week is mostly forgettable with cross-offshore winds but periods that are too short to be any good. We’re looking at average conditions, nothing to get too stoked about.

Now, for the long range. The second week is looking more promising, but as always, the further out we get, the less certain things are.

Wednesday the 9th of September has the most interesting swell of the period. There’s a good-sized, long-period swell showing up in the afternoon with a 13-second period and 1.7m of swell, and the energy reading is a strong 918. This is a proper groundswell. However, the wind is going onshore. That’s a classic NW swell with NW wind situation. It could be okay, but don’t expect perfection. It might be breaking a bit too straight for this beach. That long period is best for a point or reef, but here at a beach break, it can get tricky.

So, overall, if you’re looking for the best of the first week, it’s Tuesday the 1st of September, full stop. Glassy, clean, and rideable. Keep your eyes on that one.

And for the second week, that Wednesday the 9th is promising, but it’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed.

Rusty out.

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.
