The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's cut straight to it. The forecast for the next 16 days is rough. Honestly, it's a barren stretch. We're looking at a long, dry period with no real surf to get excited about.
The first slim chance is a tiny pulse on the morning of the 21st of July. Sao Pedro is a rare-breaking point break, and it's sheltered, needing a good SW swell to work. That morning, we're looking at a weak 0.7ft from the west, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 4 (weak). Winds are light and cross-shore, so the water will be a bit messy. It's beginner-level, so it's not a total loss for someone learning, but it's seriously marginal. The water temp is 69.6°, which is about normal for this time of year.
After that, the whole thing just fizzles out. The next few days are filled with tiny, inconsistent pulses of swell that never get above 2ft. The afternoons on the 22nd and 23rd of July see some clean conditions with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is just 0.3ft from the SW. You'd be lucky to get a ripple.
From the 25th of July right through to the 5th of August, the forecast is essentially dead. There are a few days with clean, cross-offshore winds, but the swell is either non-existent or so small it's not worth paddling for. The wind ramps up significantly, hitting 18 to 25 mph from the NNW on the 26th of July and the 1st and 2nd of August. With that kind of wind, no swell, and a beach setup, this is looking far more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle.
The bottom line is there are no standouts. Zero. This is one of those blank runs that happens here. The forecast shows no good surf options in the entire 16-day window. It’s a tough one. Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, the board stays in the car.

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.
