Forte Novo Surf Guide
Forte Novo in The Algarve is an exposed breakwater break that has quite consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Works best in offshore winds from the northeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely and the ideal swell angle is from the west southwest. Waves at the breakwater break both left and right. Best around low tide. It very rarely gets crowded here. Overcrowding can even make surfing hazardous.
