The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Forjos.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’re stuck in a nasty pattern of onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the ESE and SE, blowing at 9 to 12 mph. The swell is coming from the same direction, short period stuff around 7 to 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak, sitting between 130 and 250 (weak energy). The water temp is a warm 80°, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s about the only bright spot. The surf is just poor, choppy and messy. Honestly, from Thursday the 23rd of July all the way through to Sunday the 2nd of August, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. That’s a solid ten-day stretch of no-go.
But hold on, because things finally take a turn on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning session is the standout of the whole outlook. Forjos wakes up with a glassy, clean surface thanks to a light NE breeze at just 3 mph. The swell is a solid 6 ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps up to 446 (moderate wave energy). The conditions are described as "glassy", and the overall forecast is good. This is the one to aim for. The crowd situation is "sometimes", so you might see a few others out, but for this spot, that’s not a big deal.
Now, as we head deeper into the first week of August, the consistency picks up a bit, but the wind messes it up again. Monday afternoon turns cross-onshore, and Tuesday the 4th of August morning has a bigger swell at 6 ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds and energy at 522 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is light and cross-shore, making it a marginal call. The rest of that week and into the next is plagued by those pesky 9 to 12 mph onshore winds again, keeping the surf poor. The swell energy stays high, between 400 and 550 (moderate wave energy), but without clean wind, it’s just a messy, choppy ocean.
So, to sum it up: save your energy for the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. That’s your best bet. The rest of the window is a write-off for a paddle surfer unless you’ve got a kite and a death wish with that onshore wind.
Rusty.

Information about the Forjos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Forjos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Forjos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Forjos 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 (Forjos) 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 Forjos 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.
Forjos is 22 km (14 miles) from Sao Sebastiao. If you plan a holiday in Alagoas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sao Sebastiao. Sao Sebastiao has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
