The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
This is a tough stretch for Forjos. Over the next 16 days, there’s not one single session that I can truly recommend. The onshore wind is relentless, coming from the ESE to SE, and it’s just killing every bit of wave quality. The first week is a write-off with scores of zero across the board. It’s not until the morning of Friday, July 31st that we even see a glimmer of something, and even that’s a marginal call with a risk of thunderstorms and cross-onshore wind. The swell is there from time to time – by Saturday, August 1st, we’re looking at 6 ft in the morning from the ESE, but with 16 mph onshore wind, it’s going to be a mess.
The best chance for surfable conditions in terms of pure wave height comes around Sunday, August 9th. We’ve got a long-period S swell of 6 ft, period hitting 13 seconds, and the combined energy is massive at 1330 (moderate to strong wave energy). That’s proper groundswell potential. The problem? The wind is still coming from the ESE at 16 mph and it’s onshore. For Forjos, that’s going to mean lumpy, choppy conditions. For an exposed beginner spot like this, that’s not fun paddle surfing. In fact, with that much swell and persistent cross-onshore wind, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than for us poor paddle surfers.
Water temperature is 80°F, which is about average for the time of year with a 1°F anomaly – nothing unusual there. But for the rest of the outlook, you’re looking at consistent onshore flow, short-period windswell, and poor surf conditions. There’s a long gap from now until Friday, July 31st with no recommendations. After that, it’s still all poor. If you’re desperate, the very end of the window on August 10th has a 5 ft SSE groundswell but again, wind is onshore. Forjos (Portugal) is just not on this time.

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.
