The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you, this is a tough one for the local stretch. We're looking at Sao Pedro, and honestly, the 16-day outlook is a real struggle. There's just no good surf on offer for the vast majority of the period. We're talking about a long, dry gap with nothing but tiny, weak pulses and mostly cross-offshore breezes that keep the water looking clean but don't give us any real rideable waves.
The first hint of anything is on Friday, 31 July, but it's a flat 1.0 ft of W swell with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is a measly (21) – barely a whisper. The water's sitting at 68°, which is about normal for this time of year. It's a no-go.
The whole of the first week of August is a write-off. Tiny bits of swell here and there, periods under 9 seconds, but nothing with any push. The 3rd of August sees a little 0.7 ft bump from the WSW, but it's a 2-second period sea, which is just wind chop. The rest of the time it's either flat or showing 0.3 ft of long-period S swell that's too weak to do anything with.
We do see a bit of a pulse on the 10th of August – a 0.7 ft W swell, 11 seconds, weak energy (13). Still, it's not enough to get excited about. Then we get into the second week and it's the same story: flat or tiny, with the odd 0.3 ft reading right through to the 15th of August. On the 15th of August, there's a 0.3 ft SW swell with a very long period of 21 seconds, but the energy is still only (35). That kind of period is amazing for a point break like Sao Pedro, but it needs some size to wrap in. This is just a whisper.
The bottom line is that this is a rare spot that rarely breaks, and this forecast is proving it. There isn't a single standout. For a beginner-friendly point like this, you need a proper swell from the SW to get it working, and we just aren't seeing it. The wind is consistently cross-off from the NNW, which would be perfect for grooming the waves, but there's nothing to groom. It's a tough pill to swallow, but sometimes the ocean just goes quiet. Don't hold your breath; forecasts can change, but this one's looking grim.
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.
