The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what we've got here for Sao Pedro. It's a point break, beginner-friendly, but straight off the bat I gotta tell you, she's a tough one to call – the guidance says it rarely breaks. And looking at the numbers, it's not looking good. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for proper waves.
We start on Monday the 14th of September, and there's literally nothing. Zero energy. It stays that way for days. The combined energy from all swells directed here sits at 0 for the first day, and we don't see anything worth paddling out for at all. The water's sitting at 66°, which is about 3° colder than normal for this time of year – a bit nippier than usual.
There's a tiny blip of activity from the 15th through to the 28th, but it's all just ankle-snappers. You're looking at swell heights of 0.3 ft, once or twice hitting 0.7 ft, and a 1 ft with a short period of 3 seconds. The combined energy never breaks double digits, maxing out at a pathetic 12. The winds are mostly cross-off or clean, which would be great if there was any swell to work with. The period on the little bumps we do get is often long – 13 to 18 seconds – but with no height, it's just a gentle bump on the water.
Don't even think about the 29th of September; it's back to zero energy and flat.
So, the honest truth, mate? There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a complete blank run for Sao Pedro. Given the break is classed as 'rarely breaks', this sort of poor run is more normal for the area. Keep your eye on the forecasts, because things can always change, but for now, leave the board in the car.

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.
