The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. To be straight with you, the next sixteen days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. The whole window is a long flat spell, with nothing worth wetting a wetsuit for. The first real chance of any surf doesn’t come until Saturday the 19th, but even then it’s barely a whisper.
From the start, we’ve got a big gap of dead calm or tiny, messy waves. The wind is mostly howling from the north and northwest, but it’s all cross-offshore or offshore so it’s clean, but there’s just no swell to work with. The energy is practically zero for most of it, with combined swell energy readings sitting at 0 to 6 (weak energy). You’d be better off checking the kite forecast than the surf forecast for most of this.
The only spot that ever gets a mention is Sao Pedro (a point break that rarely breaks). It’s sheltered, picking up a little bit of SW swell, but it’s a beginner-friendly wave that’s inconsistent at the best of times. Over the first week, there’s a few days with tiny 0.3ft to 1ft windswell from the west, but the period is short (7 seconds) or it’s a sloppy S groundswell at 12 seconds with barely any energy. The water temperature is sitting at 68°F, which is about 1°F cooler than the long-term average – so it’s pretty much normal for this time of year.
The closest thing to a stand-out, and I use that term loosely, is on Saturday morning the 19th of September. The wind drops to glassy, dead calm, and there’s a tiny 0.7ft W swell rolling in with an 8-second period. The combined swell energy is still only 6 (weak energy). It’s not going to be a proper surf, but if you’re desperate for a float and a bit of peace on the water, that’s your best bet. The wave will be tiny and weak, but at least it’ll be clean. Don’t expect any crowds – it rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a quiet affair.
Bottom line: this is a proper blank run. The area is known for these long flat spells, so it’s not a surprise. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay poor forever.

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.
