The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the 16-day outlook for Forjos.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The finder didn't give me a single recommendation across the whole 16 days, and the guidance file backs that up. It’s one of those blank runs that’s more normal for this area when the conditions just don't line up. The first few days, from Tuesday the 4th of August right through the weekend, the swell is hanging around 3 ft to 5 ft but it’s all short-period ESE windswell, mostly coming in at 8 seconds – that’s just junky, weak stuff. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore from the SE and E, blowing at 9 to 16 mph, which is going to chop it up and make it messy. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 518 (moderate wave energy) on Tuesday morning, but it’s all for nothing with those winds. You’d be fighting a losing battle out there.
The pattern doesn’t let up. There’s a gap of a few days here with no real hope. Then on Wednesday the 12th, we get a similar story – 4 ft to 4 ft of ESE swell at 8 seconds, but again cross-onshore winds from the SSE at 12 mph. The energy is there (411-430), but the quality isn’t. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
Now, I’ll be honest, the only thing that catches my eye is a long way out. On Saturday the 15th of August, we see a spike in the charts. The swell jumps to 5 ft to 6 ft from the S, with a period of 14-16 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell – very long period, which will have some real energy and shape. The combined energy is strong, hitting 1360-1367 (strong wave energy). But here’s the catch: the wind is still cross-onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, and the guidance calls it “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” For a beginner spot like this, that 5 ft-6 ft swell is getting a bit too big and the S direction isn’t ideal for the optimum S swell direction. The long period will make it break a bit straight here, and the wind will keep it bumpy. It’s promising, but with that wind and the tide question, it’s a long shot that’s just not reliable.
The rest of the run into the second week stays flat or poor, with small S swells and cross-onshore winds. Honestly, for the next 16 days, I’d say leave the board in the car. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with all that onshore wind and short-period chop. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
