The Lowdown
Right, I've taken a look at Sao Pedro, and to be honest, it's looking pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. The water temp here is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much average for this time of year.
The short story is that there are no good surf options on offer in this 16-day window. At a place like this, a blank run is actually more normal for the area. The forecasts can change, but right now, you'd be wasting your time paddling out.
Looking at the run of it, from the afternoon of Thursday the 20th of August right through to Monday evening the 1st of September, there's just nothing. You get a tiny bump of swell on the 23rd of August – the Sunday morning shows a miserable 3ft from the SSE with a short, weak period of only 4 seconds and a moderate cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is a pathetic 37 (weak). By Sunday afternoon, it jumps to 5ft from the SSW but with a risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind. The 24th of August Monday sees a bit more size, with 6ft from the WSW and an 8-second period, pushing the combined energy to 426 (moderate), but again, it's all onshore and rainy. Tuesday the 25th drops back to near flatness.
From the 28th of August through the 30th, it's completely flat with no swell height recorded at all. Then, on the 31st of August, there's a tiny blip – 2ft from the west with a 6-second period and clean cross-offshore wind from the WNW, but the combined energy is only 16 (weak). Surf is essentially not happening.
Into the first week of September, the pattern holds. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd see a small 0.7ft SSW swell with a very long 16-second period, but it's still too small to do anything with.
Honestly, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you get any wind, but for a surfer, it's a total washout.

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.
