The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gotta be honest with you, this stretch is a real bummer for Forjos. This break is a beginner-friendly, super consistent spot that usually handles a good S swell, but the wind is just ruining everything for the next 16 days. The onshore and cross-onshore breeze is relentless, chopping up even the decent groundswell. The water temp is about 80°F, which is normal for this time of year.
We kick off on Tuesday, August 25th, with a 4ft ESE swell, but the wind is from the SE at 12 mph and onshore, making for poor surf. The combined energy is moderate (246), but it's junk. This sets the pattern. The swell builds a little, but the wind stays onshore. By Thursday, August 27th, we get a 5ft S swell with a super long 16-second period and strong energy (1427), but the wind is 12 mph from the East, cross-onshore, and it's deemed poor. That's a real heartbreaker—that period would be epic at a point or reef, but it's a total mess.
Friday, August 28th, brings the biggest swell of the first week, 6ft from the S (16s period) with very strong energy (1886). But it's got 16 mph cross-onshore wind and rain showers. It's a write-off for paddle surfing. Honestly, this is a kite surfer's paradise. This pattern of solid swell and bad wind holds through the weekend and into September.
The wind gets even nastier in the first week of September, sometimes hitting 25 mph, with a nasty cross-shore chop. The swell drops to around 3ft to 5ft with short 8-second periods, which is just weak, choppy windswell. The energy readings drop into the low hundreds.
Into the second week, around September 5th, we see a 5ft S swell on Saturday, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore again. On Sunday, September 6th, there's a 4ft S swell with a 10-second period and moderate energy (480), but it's the same story: 16 mph cross-onshore wind. The last days, into September 8th and 9th, show a 7ft ESE swell peaking on Tuesday the 8th, with a 7-second period and moderate energy (611). That's a big, messy, short-period wave blown out by onshore wind.
The bottom line: There is no standout session. The wind is the enemy. The only tiny glimmer is the afternoon of August 26th, with a 4ft S swell and a 15-second period, and the wind is lighter, but it's still a "marginal" call. For a beginner spot like Forjos, it's just not worth it. Because this spot is usually consistent, this is a tough run, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep your fingers crossed.
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.
