The Lowdown
Gather 'round, crew. Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer at Sao Pedro. Straight up, it's a quiet run. The swell just isn't making it in over the next couple of weeks, and the wind's working against us for most of it.
We're looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions. The first real pulse of interest doesn't show up until Sunday the 6th of September, and even then, it's tiny. For over a week straight, there's nothing worth paddling out for.
Alright, let's get into it. Starting on Monday the 24th of August, we've got some swell, but it's messy. The wind is howling from the southwest at 22 mph, cross-onshore, lumping up a 10ft swell from the WSW. Energy is up there at 1054 (moderate) but it's not doing us any favours. The water is sitting at 67°F, which is about a degree colder than normal for this time of year – you'll feel that chill waiting for the sets.
By Tuesday the 25th, it drops off the map. The rest of the month is a ghost town. We get a few days with clean offshore winds, but there's just no height. It's flat. A couple of tiny pulses show up around the 1st and 2nd of September, with some very long-period groundswell (15 seconds) from the SSW, but the swell height is only 0.7ft – a micro-swell that won't break. The wind is cross-offshore and clean, so the conditions are perfect, but there's nothing to ride.
The only glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 6th of September. We see a tiny bump: 1.0ft swell from the west, with a period of 15 seconds. That very long period means the energy is drawn out, with only 55 combined energy, but those clean offshore conditions from the NNW at 16 mph could make for some glassy, pretty little peelers if the tide and sand cooperate. It's a long way out, so don't hold your breath, but that's the only opportunity in the whole window.
Bottom line: unless you're keen on a flat spell, this isn't your fortnight. The only real chance is that Sunday the 6th, and it's a gamble. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Sao Pedro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Sao Pedro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Sao Pedro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Sao Pedro 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 (Sao Pedro) 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 Sao Pedro 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.
Sao Pedro is 2 km (1 miles) from Parede. If you plan a holiday in Lisboa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Parede. Parede has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
