Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sao Pedro over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got on the cards for Sao Pedro over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a tough stretch. This setup is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and honestly, the numbers are telling a pretty flat story.
We kick off on Wednesday the 8th of July with tiny, tiny waves – we’re talking 0.3ft, with a crazy long 18-second period. The combined swell energy is weak (10). It’s clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but there’s just no power behind it. This pattern of tiny, clean, but completely gutless surf hangs around for days. Thursday and Friday are more of the same, with a bit of a bump in energy on Friday afternoon hitting 15, but still only 0.3ft. It’s just not enough to break.
Saturday the 11th is a complete dud – dead flat in the morning with zero energy. Sunday the 12th sees a tiny pulse of 2ft from the west, with an 8-second period, giving us a combined energy of 47. It’s cleaner in the morning with a light breeze, but the wave state is poor. That’s the closest we get to a ripple all week. There’s a bit more energy (103) showing around Wednesday the 15th, 3ft at 9 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore and choppy. Honestly, even that small wave looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler.
The rest of the run into the third week of July is just one flat, clean day after another. Long gaps of days with nothing worthy of a paddle. The swell energy barely registers, and we’re stuck with tiny southerly or westerly pulses that don't have any push. For a spot that rarely breaks, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area.
Bottom line: There isn’t a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. It’s a total flat spell. No wave height, no energy, no action. These forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d keep the board in the car and go for a swim instead.
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.
