The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, let’s be straight with each other – the outlook for São Pedro (Sao-Pedro-1) is a flat spell for the entire 16-day window. There’s no surf to get excited about. The guidance shows this spot “rarely breaks,” and looking at the forecast, that’s exactly the case. We’ve got a solid block of nothing from now through the end of the month. The wave energy is non-existent, with most days showing a combined energy of just 0 or 1 (11 is the highest we see, on the 16th, and that’s from a tiny 1ft swell). The swell heights are all under 2ft, and the periods are pitifully short. It’s a total blank run. For this area, a stretch like this isn’t unusual – it’s just the nature of a sheltered, rarely-breaking point. The winds are mostly cross-off or cross, but there’s just nothing to ride. There’s a glassy calm on the morning of the 27th of July, but with zero swell, it’s just a pretty lake. If you’re a paddle surfer, you’re on the beach. The setup would be more interesting for a kite surfer, but even then, the wind is mostly light to moderate. Hold tight, check the forecasts again in a few days – it tends not to stay this poor forever.
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.
