The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on offer for Sao Pedro over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty bleak. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t giving us anything to work with. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for any proper sessions for a while. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't come up until Monday the 21st of September, and even then, it’s barely a ripple. There’s a gap of about a week from now with practically no surf at all.
So here’s the rundown. For the first week, from Sunday the 13th right through to the 20th, you’re looking at flat to near-flat conditions. The combined wave energy is a big fat zero or just a couple of points (0 - 13), which is about as weak as it gets. The wind is mostly clean or offshore, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride.
The only flicker of life comes later. On Monday morning the 21st of September, we might see a tiny 0.7ft swell from the S with a period of 12 seconds, giving combined energy of just 11 – that’s still super weak. The wind is light cross-onshore from the SSE, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. Then on Tuesday the 22nd, the morning looks glassy with an offshore ESE breeze, but again, it's only 0.3ft of S swell. It’s heartbreakingly small.
For the absolute best of a bad bunch, I’d point you to Sao Pedro itself. It’s a sheltered point break, which is good because the little swell we get won’t be pushed around much. On Tuesday morning the 22nd of September, we’ve got glassy conditions (ESE 3 mph) and a tiny 0.3ft, 12-second S swell. The period is decent enough for a long period, but at this size, you'd be luckier finding a ripple in your bathtub. The water temp is a bit colder than average for this time of year, sitting around 66°F – nothing to write home about.
The other half-decent shout is Saturday the 26th of September morning. It’s dead calm, glassy, with 0.3ft from the SW at a 13-second period. The combined energy is a bit higher at 7, but it’s still tiny. If you’re desperate, you might find a knee-high wave, but honestly, it’s a spring suit and a whole lot of paddling for nothing.
The crowds at Sao Pedro can be an issue when it’s good, but I wouldn’t worry about that this time. The spot rarely breaks, and this spell proves it. The early part of the second week looks like it might have a little more pulse, but it’s still forecasted to be poor. Look, it’s a tough run. The forecasts can change, though, so keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
