Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de Xago over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with ya – we’re looking at a real flat spell to kick things off. The first proper surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Saturday the 26th of July. That’s a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy waves from now until then. There are a few mornings where you might get a knee-high ripple, but it’s not going to get your heart racing. The water temp is sitting at about 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze waiting for a set.
For the first few days, the wind is all over the place – onshore, cross-off, you name it – and the swell is tiny. Sunday the 13th of July has a glassy moment in the morning with a 2ft north swell, but the energy is weak (69) and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s gonna be slow and mushy. Not much to write home about.
We get a bit of a bump around Monday the 21st of July with a morning glass-off and a 3ft NNW swell, but again, it’s just not enough to get excited about. The energy is moderate (101) but the waves are small and the wind turns onshore by the afternoon.
Now, the real standout is hiding at the end of the forecast. Mark your calendars for Sunday the 26th of July. That morning, Playa de Xago (Spain) is set to light up. We’re looking at a 6ft NW groundswell with a solid 10-second period, and the combined energy is strong at 513. The wind is glassy – dead calm – so the conditions are going to be primo. That’s the morning to be out there. The water will be clean, the waves will have some punch, and it’s the best on offer by a long shot. The afternoon is a touch smaller at 5ft with a bit of a cross-on breeze, but the morning session is the one.
Crowds can be an issue here, so get there early.
Overall, there’s a big gap of nothing special until that final weekend, but that Sunday morning makes it worth the wait. Don’t hold your breath for the rest of it.
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.
