The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer in the region. Straight up, the news isn't great. We've got a long, drawn-out stretch of flat to tiny, weak conditions ahead. The only named break is Sao Pedro, but it's a spot that rarely breaks, and I'm not seeing anything to get excited about in this 16-day window.
Looking at the data, from Saturday the 8th through to Sunday the 23rd of August, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. We’re looking at a massive gap with no real surf to speak of. The first couple of days, you’ve got a few scraps – a 1 ft swell on Saturday morning, maybe a 1.3 ft on Monday the 10th – but it's coming from the WNW and NW, not the optimum SW direction for Sao Pedro, and the combined energy is pitifully weak (9 and 16 respectively). The winds are mostly cross-off, which is fine, but with barely any swell, there's nothing to ride. The afternoons are even worse.
The second week, from around the 14th onwards, we do start to see a few more consistent signals. The swell direction shifts to the SSW, which is a better angle for the break, but the wave heights are a meagre 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft. The combined energy creeps up a bit, hitting the low 20s (like 20 on the 16th morning and 31 on the 18th morning), but it’s still weak. We do get a few glassy mornings, like Friday the 21st and Sunday the 23rd, which would be beautiful if there was any swell. The period on these later swells is long, 13 to 18 seconds, suggesting a groundswell, but it's just too small to do anything with. For a point break like Sao Pedro, a long period groundswell is usually a good thing, but not when it's only 0.7 ft.
Honestly, the biggest issue here is the total lack of size. For a beginner break, anything over 5 ft gets tricky, but we never even get close. The water temp doesn't have an anomaly in the data, so it's standard for the time of year.
So, the bottom line: there is no standout. There is no best on offer. The entire 16-day forecast is a bust. The whole period is a blank run with no real surfable waves. Sao Pedro rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast backs that up. You’d be better off finding a different hobby for a couple of weeks. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s as flat as it gets.

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.
