The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the outlook for Playa de Xago.
Okay, so we've got a bit of a slow start, but there are some nice windows comin' through. The ocean's got a bit of energy to it, with the water temp sittin' right on the money at 68.9°F, pretty normal for late summer.
First good chance rolls in Saturday morning, the 29th of August. We’re looking at a clean 5 feet swell from the WNW (period 8 secs) with glassy conditions – that’s a proper surf window. The wave energy is moderate (307), but that offshore wind will make it feel way better. The afternoon holds similar, clean 4.6 feet waves. This is the one to get on.
Monday the 31st of August is another standout. The swell bumps up to a solid 5.9 feet from the NW, period stretching to 10 seconds. The combined energy is a strong moderate (622), and the morning is glassy again – expect very good, clean surf at Playa de Xago.
From there, things get a bit mixed. We get a few mornings with cross-off winds and smaller 2.6 to 2 feet surf, but it's clean enough for a paddle. The weekend of the 6th and 7th of September shows some promise – on the 7th, we get clean 3.6 feet waves from the NW. Later in the week, on the 9th of September, we see a glassy morning again with a 5.6 feet swell, but it's a short period (6 secs) from the NNE, which can be a bit fat and bouncy.
A week and a half out, the 11th of September has a cross-off wind and a 4.6 feet NW swell, but with a short 7-second period, it's not going to be epic. The 12th drops off to tiny 2.6 feet stuff. Overall, the real gold is on that Saturday and the Monday for clean, fun waves. Get out there early.

A general guide to surfing at Playa de Xago can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
