The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for the region is a tough one to call as a surfer. We’re looking at a long, long gap before anything even worth paddling out for, and even then, it's a real mission.
The first sign of a proper swell window doesn't arrive until Monday, August 3rd, and even then it's a real struggle. For over a week, from the 30th of July right through to the 3rd of August, conditions are blown out by cross-off and onshore winds, with short-period, weak swell making for nothing but choppy, poor surf. The combined energy is weak, sitting in the low two-digit to high two-digit range (98 to 383), which is a major red flag.
The best (and honestly, only) real chance to get a wave is at Forjos. This spot is a beginner-friendly, very consistent break that’s exposed to the south. The water temperature is around 80°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year – nothing unusual, just a touch on the mild side.
Now, the standout moment comes on Monday morning, August 3rd. The swell hits 6 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 383 (moderate). But the real key is the wind: a light cross-shore from the ENE at 6 mph. This is the only window where the surf looks like it might be clean and rideable, with light wind ripples. It’s still rated as marginal, so don't expect perfection, but it’s the only moment in the entire forecast that’s worth a look. The rest of the period is a write-off, with onshore winds, rain showers, and choppy conditions.
The following week from August 8th onward just gets worse. The swell energy is weak, the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the combined energy values are all moderate to weak (180 to 286). There’s a glimmer of a long-period (14 seconds) swell on the 12th of August, but it’s hammered by onshore winds and the energy is moderate (464). The period is too long for a beach break anyway, so it’s a pass.
Honestly, if you’re not a beginner and you’re not fixing to surf on that Monday morning, you’re better off staying home. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this run.
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.
