Table - best surf conditions forecast for Forjos over the next 16 days.
Wednesday, July 8th kicks things off, but it ain't pretty. The morning has a touch of swell at 0.8m from the south with a long period, but the wind is cross-onshore and the combined wave energy is moderate (664). Come afternoon, it’s a little bigger at 1.0m from the south, but the wind turns onshore and makes a mess of things. You’ll be looking at a lot of chop and not much fun.
Thursday, July 9th through the weekend, the swell picks up a bit, hanging around 1.2m to 1.3m from the south-southeast. The period is decent, but the problem is the wind. It’s consistently cross-onshore, creating a bumpy, choppy surface that’ll fight you the whole way. The energy stays moderate (554-699), but the surf quality is just poor.
The whole of the following week, from Monday, July 13th right through to Thursday, July 23rd, is a grim slog. Swells are all over the place, from small 0.7m to a slightly bigger 1.4m later on, but it doesn’t matter. The wind is relentless—cross-shore and cross-onshore, with moderate breezes that keep the sea lumpy. The water temperature is about 27°C, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort. But with every day showing “poor surf conditions” and the energy values mostly sitting between 198 and 485 for the most part, there’s just nothing to get excited about.
For Forjos, a beginner-friendly break that’s very consistent, this is a real dry spell. The crowds might wander off with a run like this, but there’s no silver lining here. This setup right now is better for a kite surfer than anyone trying to paddle into a clean wave. Keep your gear ready, but don’t hold your breath—this is one of those blank runs that can feel normal for the area, and the forecasts can always change.

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.
