The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee and settle in, because this one’s a tough read. I’m lookin’ at Sao Pedro, and honestly, for the next sixteen days, it’s a flat spell with nothing to get excited about. This is a point break that rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast proves why.
Overall Pattern
The whole period from July 23rd right through to August 7th is basically a write-off for surf. There’s simply no decent swell on the cards. The few tiny bumps that show up are weak and messy.
Detailed Breakdown
We start off Thursday July 23rd with a tiny 0.4m (1ft) W swell, but it’s got a period of just 5 seconds – that’s wind swell junk. Combined energy is a paltry 8. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
From Friday July 24th through Sunday July 27th, the swell drops to 0.1m (0.3ft) from the S, with periods bouncing around 11 to 16 seconds. Even when that period gets long, there’s no height behind it. The combined energy never gets past 10, and it’s mostly clean but completely flat. Winds are a mix of cross-off and fresh breezes, but none of it matters.
Monday July 27th and Tuesday July 28th see zero energy – a big fat zero in the combined energy column. Pure calm.
Wednesday July 29th offers a tiny glimmer: a 0.3m (1ft) W swell with an 11-second period and combined energy of 24. That’s the biggest energy reading of the whole run, but it’s still a baby wave. Clean cross-off wind, but you’d be scratching for anything rideable.
From Thursday July 30th all the way to Friday August 7th, it’s a desert. Swell heights are either 0.1m (0.3ft) or completely flat. Combined energy readings are mostly 0, and when it does tick up, it’s a 2 or a 3 or a 6. One of the few bumps on August 5th and 6th shows 0.1m (0.3ft) from the SW with a 12-second period and energy of 6 to 10 – clean, but still not enough to surf.
Standouts
There are absolutely no standouts here. Nothing. Don’t bother packing the board for this stretch. It’s a rare run of flatness, even for a break that rarely breaks. The water temp is sitting around 69°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but you won’t need a wetsuit for the swim.
Summary
It’s a long, flat 16-day window. The consistency is non-existent. If you’re really keen on a paddle, maybe the Wednesday July 29th morning with that 0.3m (1ft) W swell is your best, most desperate bet, but honestly, it’s not worth it.

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.
