The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s run through the numbers in old-school feet.
Gotta be straight with you – this is a rough one. We’re looking at a week and a half of pure flatness. The combined wave energy is bottomed out at zero or barely a blip in the single digits for most of the run. From now until about the 22nd, there’s a big fat gap with nothing to ride. You’d be better off polishing your board.
The only break on the map is Sao Pedro, a point that’s well sheltered and needs a specific SW swell. The thing is, this spot *rarely breaks*, so when it lines up, it’s a treat. But right now, it’s a no-go.
Water temp is a normal 69°, nothing out of the ordinary.
Way out there, on the 23rd of September – that’s a long way off – there’s a tiny flicker of hope. Wednesday morning looks glassy, with a light NNE breeze, and a tiny 2ft swell from the west. The energy is still weak at 7, but the glassy conditions are a big deal. It’d be clean, just tiny. That afternoon, the wind goes cross-shore from the west, with a 2ft swell from the WSW and a bit more energy at 13. Still small, but it’s the only window that looks even remotely rideable.
Don’t book the trip yet. This is a long-range whisper, and it’s a very inconsistent break. The forecast could change, but for now, that’s your only chance.
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.
