The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is a tough one to call, folks. We're looking at Sao Pedro, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a classic case of "the ocean is there, but the surf isn't."
First up, the water temp is sitting around 70°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least a wetsuit won't be a shock to the system.
This break is a point, sheltered from a lot of the big energy, and it's a spot that rarely breaks. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s just nothing doing. The first handful of days are tiny, with swell barely registering. On Saturday the 1st of August, we finally see a little bump – a 2ft W swell with a short period of 8-9 seconds, but the wave energy is weak (54). That's barely a ripple, and with a moderate to fresh cross-offshore wind, it's clean but gutless.
For the next week, it’s more of the same. A few pulses of 0.3ft to 1ft, some with longer periods of 11 and 13 seconds, but the combined energy is weak, reading in the single digits and twenties. The wind stays mostly cross-off from the NNW, keeping the surface clean, but you can't surf what isn't there. Even the glassy morning on the 29th of July with no wind – the ocean was flat.
Honestly, for anyone hoping to paddle out, this is a write-off. The only energy that shows up all window is too small to surf. If the winds get any stronger, which they do, this setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a shortboard. There's no standout day here, not even a so-so day. The forecast is pretty solid on this point – it’s just not happening.
For an area where the break is so inconsistent, a blank run like this isn't a huge surprise. It’s a waiting game.

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.
