Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sao Pedro over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Sao Pedro. I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking like a tough stretch.
Right from the get-go, the overall pattern is for a whole lot of nothing. The wave energy is practically non-existent for the entire 16-day run, with numbers rarely creeping above a whisper. We’re talking about combined swell energy values mostly below 30, and a lot of flat spells with zeros. To be honest with you, the best thing on offer is a bit of a novelty. The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock.
The first real glimmer of anything happening is on the morning of Monday the 13th of July. We see a tiny, tiny bump with a 1ft swell and a period of 7 seconds out of the WSW, giving us a combined energy of just 22. That's weak and short-period, but there’s a light cross-shore wind. It’s still going to be poor surf conditions, though. That little blip continues into Tuesday the 14th with a 2ft swell from the west, 7 second period, and a combined energy of 26. A bit better, but you’re really scratching for a knee-high ripple.
Then it’s mostly back to flat or close to it until we get to Friday the 17th of July. That morning we see a 1ft swell from the west with an 8 second period (combined energy of 25), and the wind is cross-off from the north. It’s clean, but the size is miniscule. After that, the last week of the outlook fades right back into tiny, weak, long-period swells in the 0.3ft to 1.0ft range and very low wave energy, often under 10.
For the whole period, the standout – and I use that term loosely – is probably Tuesday the 14th of July morning. You've got the biggest swell of the whole run at 2ft, from the west, with a cross-off breeze from the NW and clean conditions. It’s not going to be anything special, but if you’re desperate for a float, that’s your window.
Overall, this is a tough one. For most of the next 16 days, your board is staying on the roof of the car. There’s not much to get excited about here. Just a flat spell that hangs around for almost the whole forecast period. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye on the horizon.
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.
