The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at this and it's a tough one. For the overwhelming majority of the next 16 days, the conditions at Sao Pedro are just not worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is often messy, and the overall energy is flat. We're looking at a long, dry spell with very little to get excited about. There's a big gap of almost no surf from the end of August right through the first week of September.
The only real pulse of energy comes in on Sunday, the 23rd of August. We see a jump in the swell, with a 7 ft west swell rolling in by the morning. The combined energy is strong, hitting 946, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the SSE, making it lumpy. The wave comment calls it "poor surf conditions," and I have to agree. That onshore wind will chop it up.
By the afternoon, it drops to 5 ft from the SSW, but the period is a short, weak 6 seconds, and the wind is still messy. The following Monday, the 24th, the swell holds around 8 ft to 8 ft from the SW, but again, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and we're looking at rain showers and risk of thunderstorms. The energy is still considerable (618 and 751), but the quality is just not there for paddle surfing. At that size with onshore wind, this setup is looking more interesting for kite surfing than a clean surf session.
The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is about average for the time of year. Nothing special there.
For a point break that rarely breaks, this is a pretty normal quiet period. Sao Pedro is a sheltered spot, and it's taking a beating from the wind when there is any swell. The best you could hope for is a session on the 28th, maybe the 31st, when the wind goes offshore, but the swell is a paltry 0.3 ft. That's a lake.
So, honestly, there is no standout. There's no one or two days to highlight as the best on offer. The 23rd and 24th of August have the size, but the wind and conditions ruin it. For the rest of the window, it's a flat, clean, but empty ocean. Wait for the next storm to push through.
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.
