The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into the outlook for our local stretch.
Well, I gotta be honest with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim. Forjos is the only spot on the radar, and it’s just not delivering. The whole forecast period is plagued by messy, cross-onshore winds that are chopping up what little energy is out there. The water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock.
We’re starting off on Monday the 31st of August, and it’s a no-go. Forjos is seeing a 6 ft swell from the ESE, but with a 12 mph cross-on wind, it’s just a lumpy, bumpy mess. The combined energy is moderate at best (525), but the wind kills it. This pattern locks in hard. Tuesday the 1st through the whole first week is more of the same: 4 ft to 6 ft of swell, but constantly blown out by cross to cross-onshore winds between 12 and 19 mph. The period is short, around 7 to 9 seconds, so it’s weak, wind-slapped, and poor. The best description I can give is "moderate cross-onshore and choppy", which is surf-speak for "stay at home."
There’s a gap of about a week here with absolutely no chance of a decent wave. Things don’t look any better into the second week. By Monday the 14th of September, we see a tiny bump in energy (510), but it’s still 5 ft of choppy, cross-onshore junk. The rest of the run through to Tuesday the 15th is the same story: small swell, onshore wind, and poor conditions. The combined energy values drop right down to the 100-300 range, confirming the weakness.
There is simply no standout day. No window where the wind aligns with the swell. It’s a solid 16-day blank. For an exposed beginner spot like Forjos, it tends not to stay this bad for long, but right now, this is one of those stretches where you just have to wait it out. The set-up is so poor that it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent cross-shore winds.
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.
