The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this stretch of coast.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re lookin’ at a 16-day window, and honestly, the surf is pretty much a no-show for the whole run. Sao Pedro, a point break that’s sheltered and gets its best juice from the SW, is nearly dead calm. The water temp is sittin’ around 68°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days, from Thursday the 3rd of September through the weekend, we’ve got tiny waves – barely 0.7ft on Thursday, then droppin’ to 0.3ft. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the single digits (20 on Thursday morning, then down to 6 or 5). Even with clean conditions and light offshore winds, there’s just not enough swell to push a surfboard. The wind is light and variable, mostly cross-off, so the water’s clean, but it’s flat.
From Sunday the 6th afternoon onward, the wind picks up – fresh breeze from the NNW at 19 mph – but the swell’s still a pathetic 0.3ft or less. By Monday the 7th, the combined energy drops to 2 or even zero. For the rest of the first week and into the second, it’s a desert. We go days with no measurable swell at all, just clean but flat water. Thursday the 10th shows a tiny 0.7ft with a 12-second period from the west, but the energy is still weak (11), and it’s not enough to get excited about.
The second week is even worse. There’s a few glassy mornings on the 11th, 13th, and 15th of September, but the swell is either zero or 0.3ft. The last decent flicker comes on the 18th – a 1.0ft swell from the SE with a 3-second period, which is basically wind chop. The combined energy is a measly 1. This setup is just not interested in producing any surf. For the most part, the breaks are flat, and the few times there’s a ripple, it’s too small to ride. If you’re a kite surfer, you might get some use out of the afternoons with stronger cross-off winds, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off.
So, the headline is simple: there are no standout days, no hidden gems. The whole 16-day period is a gap with no real surf on offer. Sao Pedro rarely breaks at the best of times, and this forecast confirms it’s a long, flat spell.
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.
