The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the ocean's got cookin' for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. Sunday the 6th is a no-go with messy, onshore slop. We have to wait until Monday the 7th for things to turn around.
The real standout of this whole outlook hits us on Wednesday the 9th. We’ve got a solid pulse of NW groundswell rolling in, pushing 6 ft, with a short period of 8 seconds. That’s a wall of water with a hell of a lot of energy behind it (506). The real kicker? Glassy conditions in the morning. It's going to be clean, and that size will be a blast for intermediates – it's pushing the limit for beginners though. Crowds are likely here, so get out early.
Another one to circle is Sunday the 13th. A new long-period NW groundswell arrives, averaging 5 ft with a 12-second period. The energy is pumping at 520, and with a clean cross-off breeze, it’ll be lined up nicely. This one has that longer period, so expect some real juice in the waves, with longer waits between sets.
For the rest of the run, there are a few other clean mornings worth a paddle. Thursday the 10th morning has 5 ft NNW swell with glassy conditions, but it’s not as energetic as the 9th. The morning of Thursday the 17th looks promising with 5 ft NW swell and dead calm, glassy water – that’s a good one for a quiet session mid-month.
The water is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest wetsuit.
Overall, the first week is where the meat is. The second week has a few clean, smaller options but nothing that gets the heart racing like that Wednesday the 9th.
Rusty.

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.
