The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead for Sao Pedro. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple for days. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent waves. The first real chance for a paddle is on Monday the 21st of September, but even then it’s a tease – a tiny 1ft swell from the SE with a period of only 4 seconds, so no power behind it. The combined swell energy is just 8, basically a flat calm. Before that, from now right through to the 20th, the swell is next to nothing, mostly 0.3ft or less, with combined energy readings of 0 to 13. It’s dead.
Now, if you’re absolutely desperate for a splash on the 21st, the offshore wind from the NNE at 3 mph will make the surface glassy, but the waves themselves are barely existent. This break rarely breaks as it is, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area than a surprise.
There’s nothing worth highlighting. No standouts. The water temp is a bit cold for this time of year at 66°F with a -3°F anomaly, but you won’t be in the water long enough to notice. Honestly, keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
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.
