The Lowdown

G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s take a look at what’s coming through at Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year—nice little bonus, you’ll feel it.

The first proper chance to get wet doesn’t really fire until Wednesday morning, September 9th. The swell is building to 5ft from the NW, period a punchy 8 seconds, and the wind is glassy out of the NE. That’s clean, lined-up surf with moderate energy (434) coming through. This is the best call for the intermediate crew early on. You’ll want to get out Wednesday morning before the afternoon wind picks up.

Thursday the 10th holds alright too, with a 4ft NNW swell and offshore ESE breeze in the morning. It’s clean with moderate energy (349). The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze, but the swell drops a little. Still a solid option for a paddle.

Friday the 11th is a bit smaller—3ft from the NW—and glassy in the morning. It’s rideable but nothing special, and by afternoon it’s choppy and tiny.

There’s a bit of a gap in quality through Saturday and into Sunday morning the 13th, but Sunday morning is the standout of the whole stretch. The swell jumps to 6ft from the NNW with a solid 13-second period, and the wind is clean cross-off from the ESE. The energy is strong at 932. That’s proper groundswell, well-shaped, and the break handles the long period nicely. It’s an expert-friendly size but still doable for strong intermediates. The afternoon holds at 5ft but the wind ramps up, so get on it early.

Monday the 14th sees the swell easing back to 4ft, still with moderate energy, but winds are strong from the E. It’s surfable but not the pick.

From Tuesday the 15th through Wednesday the 16th, it’s pretty grim—small, messy, and cross-shore. Not worth planning around.

Now we get a second nice window on Thursday morning, September 17th. Another 6ft NW swell with a 10-second period, clean cross-off breeze from the E, and strong energy at 623. This one is a bit more user-friendly than the Sunday swell. The morning session will be your go. The afternoon gets gusty.

Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th drop off again, but Saturday afternoon has a clean 3ft NW swell with moderate energy (442). It’s small but tidy.

Then Sunday morning, September 20th, offers a surprise—glassy conditions with a 4ft NW groundswell at 12 seconds, and solid energy of 446. That’s a lovely clean morning, best for a longboard or a fish. The afternoon goes onshore and messy.

The last week of the forecast gets a bit wild. Monday the 21st is blown out, but Tuesday the 22nd morning sees a 6ft NW swell with a long 14-second period and very strong energy of 1302. The problem is the onshore wind. It’s big and powerful but choppy—this one is only for experts, and even then, the wind is a battle. Wednesday the 23rd morning drops to a 4ft NW swell at 12 seconds, but the wind stays light cross-on. Marginal, but the energy is still there at 439.

If you’re picking the one or two absolute standouts, it’s Wednesday morning September 9th for glassy clean surf, and Sunday morning September 13th for the best-quality groundswell with clean wind. The long-range session on Sunday September 20th is also worth a mention for the glassy morning. Crowds are often here, so expect company at the peak.

For the rest of the run, the breaks are fairly consistent, so it won’t stay flat for long—forecasts can change.

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.
