The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here.
Let me level with you – this 16-day stretch is as flat as a pancake. The only break worth talking about is Sao Pedro, and that spot rarely ever breaks. So a long stretch with nothing isn't out of the ordinary here. The simple fact is, there are no good surf options in this whole window.
The first week is a complete washout. From Thursday, August 6th, all the way through the next week, we’re looking at near-zero swell. We get tiny pulses of swell less than half a foot from the south and west, but it’s all crossed up by a steady moderate to fresh breeze out of the NNW. The wave energy is pitiful, barely scraping into double digits. It’s just not happening.
We do see a little flutter of energy around the second weekend. On Sunday, August 16th, there’s about 0.3ft of swell from the SW with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is still weak (11-12), but those long-period pulses could just about put a ripple on the surface. The wind is still a moderate to fresh cross-off from the NNW, so it ain't perfect.
Your best bet in this sorry outlook lands on Wednesday, August 19th. The morning is the one to watch. It’s glassy, barely a whisper of wind from the north, and we have about 0.7ft of swell from the SSW with a solid 14-second period. Combined energy is moderate (40). For a spot that so rarely turns on, and is sheltered from that SW swell, this is the one chance. Don't think you're getting a barrel, but it might be the only surfable wave of the month. Crowds are often a problem here, so for that one tiny window, you might have some company. After that, it’s right back to flatness.
So that's the picture. A long, quiet spell with one fleeting whisper of a wave. Hang in there.

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.
