The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the forecast for Sao Pedro. Honestly, it's a bit of a tough one for the next couple of weeks.
The overall pattern is pretty flat. We're looking at a long stretch of very small, weak surf, and a lot of days with nothing at all. The first bit of action is barely worth mentioning, with tiny waves on Friday the 31st of July, but they're just 0.3ft to 1.0ft, coming from the west with a long 12-second period, but the combined energy is only a weak 3 to 21. The wind is a cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but there's just no power.
Then we hit a real dry spell. From Saturday the 1st of August right through to the morning of Thursday the 13th of August, there's almost nothing. A few pulses of 0.3ft to 2ft pop up here and there, but the combined energy never gets above 71, and it's all flagged as "poor surf conditions." The wind is mostly cross-off, keeping it clean, but you're just not going to get a rideable wave. This is a long gap of over a week with no real surf to speak of.
The situation doesn't really improve. The waves stay tiny, the energy is weak, and the wind, while often clean, just can't make up for the lack of swell. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
Even the best-looking days, like the 14th and 15th of August, only offer up 0.3ft to 2ft with very low energy. It's a blank run, and for a spot that "rarely breaks," that's pretty normal for the area. Don't hold your breath, but 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.
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.
