The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Right now, and for the next two weeks, the surf scene is a total write-off. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead with no real waves to speak of.
Kicking off from Thursday, July 16, right through the end of the month, the only spot on the radar is Sao Pedro. It’s a sheltered point break that’s beginner-friendly, but it rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. The swell energy is laughable, with readings barely cracking 20 or 30 (26 is the highest we see) – that’s weak, barely there energy. The waves showing up are tiny, all under 2 ft, and mostly from the west or southwest. The period is all over the place, from short 5-second junk to a few longer 13-14 second pulses, but with no size behind them, it doesn’t matter.
The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year. The wind is mostly cross-off from the north or northwest, which would keep things clean if there were any waves to ride. But there aren’t. Conditions are often clean, but the swell is just not there.
For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a normal blank run. There’s no standout here, no hidden gem. The forecast is flat, and the energy is basically zero for the entire 16-day window. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might catch a 2 ft crumbler on Monday morning, July 20, or Wednesday afternoon, July 22, but it’s not worth the drive. Honestly, this is a stretch to leave the boards at home.
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.
