The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the local forecast for Forjos. Got to be honest, this is a tough one to swallow. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty lousy. The water’s sitting around 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The main issue is we’ve got a constant cross-onshore breeze messing with the waves right from the start. Thursday the 3rd, we’re looking at a 5 ft to 5 ft swell from the ESE, but that wind is just chopping it all up. Wave energy is moderate (326) but the quality is poor. This pattern just keeps going. Friday the 4th is the same story – 5 ft, cross-onshore, choppy. It’s a real bummer.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th see a shift in swell direction to the south, with a longer period around 12 to 13 seconds. Swell height drops to about 3 ft to 4 ft, and the energy actually picks up a bit (up to 642 on Saturday arvo). But don’t get excited – the wind is still cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface messy. It’s still a no-go for a decent paddle.
There’s a bit of a glimmer on Monday the 7th morning with a clean cross-shore wind from the NE, but the swell is a weak 4 ft from the east with a short, crumbly period of just 6 seconds (206 energy). That’s not going to produce anything worth driving for.
Honestly, the whole forecast is a write-off. Every single entry in the data says “poor surf conditions.” There’s not a single standout session. If you’re desperate, the longer-period south swells on the 5th and 6th might have a bit more push, but the wind will ruin it. The east swells are just too short-period and onshore. This place looks way more interesting for a kite session than a paddle surf right now. The first week is a total blank, and the second week (from the 10th onwards) doesn’t offer any relief – more cross-onshore winds and similar poor quality. It’s just one of those runs. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d save the wax.
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.
