The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up on this stretch of coast.
To be straight with you, the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. There are long gaps with nothing worth paddling out for, especially from the start all the way through to early August. You’re looking at flat spells that stretch for days on end. The first few days are nothing but tiny waves and poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for any real surf action until well into the second week.
The standout spot here is Sao Pedro, a sheltered point break that rarely breaks – so when it does show a pulse, you pay attention. Unfortunately, for most of this outlook, it’s mostly flat or showing pathetic 0.3 ft to 1 ft. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (2° anomaly), so the water feels good, but that’s about the only positive.
Around Wednesday, August 5th, things finally wake up a little. On the Wednesday morning, we get a pulse of 3 ft swell from the west with a period of 8 seconds – short period windswell, but combined energy is moderate (92) and the wind is fresh offshore from the north. That offshore breeze will keep it reasonably clean, but this is still small and short period, best for a longboard or a funboard. The afternoon holds 3 ft with similar conditions and energy dropping to 78 – moderate.
That Wednesday morning is really the only time in the whole 16 days that looks like it might be worth a look. The rest is either flat or tiny, with messy cross-off winds and weak energy. For beginners, that 3 ft is fine – it’s not big enough to be intimidating. For anyone looking for anything with punch, you’ll be disappointed.
Nothing else in the window stands out. Honestly, this is one of those runs where you wait and hope the next forecast brings something better. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose all hope.

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.
