The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Forjos.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. There’s no real call to get in the water. The wind is a constant problem, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is messy and weak. The wave energy is moderate at best, topping out around 477 (moderate) on the 4th of August, but it’s paired with that poor onshore wind, so it’s choppy and blown out. The swell is a short-period 7-8 seconds, so it’s just windswell junk. The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
We’ve got a long, quiet gap. From the 1st of August all the way through to the 12th of August, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is always from the east or southeast, and it’s either onshore or cross-onshore, messing up the surface. You’ll see a few small windows of “marginal” surf on the 6th of August morning (0.8m, 3 ft, cross-on) and the 13th of August afternoon (1.0m, 3 ft, onshore), but that’s a “maybe if you’re desperate” kind of deal.
Now, the one flicker of hope comes on the 16th of August. That Sunday afternoon, we’ve got a 1.4m (5 ft) swell from the ESE with a 12-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the energy jumps right up to 1057 (strong). The wind is still a cross-onshore from the ESE, but at 9 mph it’s a gentle breeze, so it won’t be totally perfect. Still, with that longer period, the waves will have more shape and push, so it’s the best option in the whole forecast. The setup is a beach break, so a long-period swell like this can be a bit tricky – it might close out or be a bit racey – but it’s your best shot for a wave. This is the one to watch, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
Overall, it’s a tough run. Most of the time, the swell is small and the wind is wrong. The 16th of August is the standout, but it’s not a guarantee. If you’re desperate, you might get a few on the 13th morning (1.3m, 4 ft, cross-on, moderate energy) but it’s marginal. Patience, my friends.
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.
