Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
A long, wild beach reached by a coastal trail. An excellent beach break that delivers even when other spots are too small. Multiple peaks shifting with the sandbars, works at all tides.
Autumn and winter deliver the best conditions, with long powerful swells from the north.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Xagó usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Xagó is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Xagó comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Xagó, you can also check conditions at Salinas, Bayas, Rodiles. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
