The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next stretch for São Pedro. Honestly, it’s a tough one. This spot is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and we’re looking at a 16-day window with almost nothing to get excited about.

The water temperature is sitting around 69°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. That’s the only thing that’s normal. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly wrong, and the ratings across the board are poor. We’ve got a long, dry run ahead.

Through the end of August and the first few days of September, there’s just no surf to speak of. A few days in late August kick off with a tiny 0.7ft swell from the SSW on Saturday the 22nd, but it’s onshore and messy. Sunday the 23rd brings a bit more size, up to 3ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, but that’s a short-period windswell from the S, with a fresh cross-onshore wind. The wave energy is weak, hitting only 95 (moderate) in the morning and 171 (moderate) later. It’s lumpy and poor.

Monday the 24th sees the biggest swell of the entire period, hitting 8ft from the WSW in the morning, with a combined energy of 885 (moderate). That’s a lot of water, but the period is only 8 seconds, the wind is onshore, and the quality is poor. For a point break, that’s a messy, choppy mess. It’s too big for beginners, and honestly, with the wind, it’s only for the experienced and desperate. The afternoon drop to 8ft doesn’t help the wind.

After that, it’s a total flop. From Tuesday the 25th all the way through to Saturday the 6th of September, we’re looking at swell heights of 0.3ft to 1.0ft, with periods mostly under 12 seconds. The wind does turn cross-offshore and even offshore at times from the NNW, keeping the water clean, but there’s just no wave. The combined energy barely reaches double digits — mostly 2 to 85 (weak). It’s flat, clean, and useless for surfing.

There are no standouts here. The best it gets is that Monday the 24th, but even that’s a write-off due to the wind. If you’re a kitesurfer, that day might look interesting with the 8ft swell and onshore wind, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go.

The next two weeks are a blank run. For this area, that’s not unusual. It’s a spot that rarely breaks, and the forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say leave the board 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.

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.
