The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for this stretch of coast. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run. Sao Pedro is a sheltered point, so it takes a specific kind of magic to get it going, and we’re not seeing that magic in this forecast window. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and we’re looking at a long, dry spell.
Right from the start, Thursday morning the 10th of September, we’ve got a tiny 1.0ft W swell at 8 seconds, which is just a weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is a paltry 11 (weak energy). The wind is offshore from the north at 12 mph, keeping the surface clean, but with a swell that small, it’s a lake out there. That afternoon, the wind picks up to 19 mph from the NNW, which is a cross-offshore direction, but all the energy has evaporated to zero.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a total blank. The swell barely flickers. We get a little 0.7ft W swell on Friday the 11th, and then it’s a long stretch of days with nothing but flat conditions. The water temperature is sitting at 68°F, which is about 2°F cooler than average for this time of year – nothing to get excited about, just a bit on the cool side. There’s a moment of glass on Monday morning the 14th, but it’s with zero swell, so you’re just staring at a mirror.
The quiet period stretches all the way through to the end of the 16 days. There are a few hints of very small, long-period swells coming in around the 17th and 18th of September, with a 0.3ft S swell and periods up to 16 seconds, but the energy is still in the single digits. Those long-period swells have potential for shape, but there’s just not enough height to do anything with. The wind is mostly clean or cross-off, but it’s a case of “all dressed up with nowhere to go.”
To be honest, this is a classic case of the point being too sheltered to grab any of the weak energy that’s out there. For a beginner, it’s not even worth paddling out. For anyone else, it’s a frustrating wait. The forecast can always change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
