The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Look, I've had a good look at the charts for this stretch, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty grim outlook for the next 16 days. There's just no swell on offer that's worth paddling out for. The whole forecast period is a write-off, and that's a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions.
The first spot we're looking at is Sao Pedro, a point break that rarely breaks. It's a sheltered setup, so it needs a decent push from the SW to get going, and that just isn't happening. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll be feeling that if you're just sitting out there.
The first few days are a total bust. Tuesday the 4th of August has a tiny 0.3ft swell and a cross-shore wind, making for poor conditions. The energy is feeble (7). Wednesday the 5th sees a slight bump to 1ft from the W, but the wind is cross-offshore and moderate, so it's clean but there's nothing to ride. The energy is still weak (19).
From Thursday the 6th right through to the 18th of August, it's a repeating pattern of tiny, insignificant swell from the S or SW, with periods all over the place. The combined energy readings are all in the low single digits – we're talking figures like 2, 3, 5, and 6 – that's less than 100, so it's incredibly weak. Honestly, the only thing that looks consistent is the lack of any surf. There's a 10-day stretch there where the swell is just not there, and the waves are either non-existent or barely a ripple.
Towards the end of the run, on the 19th of August, we get a morning of absolute glass. The wind is completely calm, and it's clean. But the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft from the SW with a combined energy of just 10. It's a pretty sight, but you can't surf a mirror. The afternoon picks up a gentle cross-shore breeze, but it's still flat.
So, bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The area is just not getting any swell. It's a tough run, but it happens. Keep your eyes on the charts, because these blank runs don't tend to last forever. Stay patient.
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.
