The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for this stretch is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window, but the first real surf doesn’t show up until the very end. For the first couple of weeks, it’s a flat spell. From the 29th of August all the way through until the 12th of September, the swell is tiny, mostly under 1ft, with very weak combined energy (often single digits, peaking at just 40 in the bracket). The wind is consistently cross-off or offshore, which is a shame because there’s nothing to ride. There’s a long gap here with no real recommendations.

The only glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, the 13th of September. We finally see a pulse of energy arrive. The morning brings a 2ft swell from the west with a period of 14 seconds, a proper groundswell. The combined energy climbs to 136 (moderate), and by the afternoon it’s even better: 2ft from the west, a very long period of 18 seconds, and energy hitting 160. The wind holds as cross-off from the NNW, which at 12-15 mph will keep things clean. This is the standout window, but it’s a long way off, so treat it as a promising but uncertain call.

The only break on the radar is Sao Pedro, a sheltered point break that works best on a SW swell. This west swell is a bit off its optimum direction, but with that long period, this point setup should still produce some lined-up waves. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but keep in mind it rarely breaks, so these conditions are a real treat. The water temperature is 68°, which is about 2° cooler than average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The rest of the window is a write-off for surfing. The wave heights are tiny or flat, and the energy is weak. For a spot that rarely breaks, a blank run is more normal for the area. Stay patient, and keep an eye on that 13th.

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.
