The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Sao Pedro is a tough one. Honestly, for the first ten days or so, it’s basically a flat spell. The swell is tiny, and the energy is barely registering. The good news is that this spot is a sheltered point, so it’s normal for it to go quiet for stretches. The combination of a very small, long-period southerly groundswell and a point that needs more punch just isn’t adding up. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
We start with Friday the 24th of July. There’s a tiny bump of 3 ft from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds, but the energy is weak (45) and the wind is a moderate cross-off, so it’s clean but gutless. The surf is basically poor. By Saturday morning the 25th, the swell has dropped to 0.3 ft with a long period of 12 seconds from the south, but the energy is negligible (3). It’s clean but there’s nothing to ride. This pattern of tiny southerly pulses with zero energy continues through the end of July and into the first week of August. We get glassy mornings on Monday the 27th and Sunday the 2nd of August, but with zero swell showing, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean.
The only faint glimmer is on Friday the 7th of August. Morning brings a slight offshore wind from the north with a 0.3 ft swell from the west at 13 seconds, but the energy is still weak (6). The afternoon picks up a little with 1 ft from the west at 9 seconds, and the energy climbs to a still-modest 28. It’s still poor surf overall, but the wind is clean. Saturday the 8th of August offers similar: 1 ft from the west, 11-second period, energy of 21, and a cross-off wind. It’s the best of a very lean bunch, but that’s not saying much.
There are no standouts here. The only wave energy that shows up at all is on the 8th of August, and even then it’s tiny. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might get a knee-high ripple on that Saturday morning, but honestly, this stretch is a write-off. The setup is so small and weak, it’s more interesting for a kite surfer needing a puff of wind than a regular surfer. Hang in there, forecasts can change.
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.
