Forte Novo Surf Guide
Forte Novo in The Algarve is an exposed breakwater break that has reasonably consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Ideal winds are from the northeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the west southwest. Waves at the breakwater break both left and right. Best around low tide. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Crowds may reach hazard levels at this break - consider wearing a lid.
