The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut to the chase. The outlook for Sao Pedro is a long, slow burn with next to no surf for the next 16 days. It’s a real bummer.
The first week is dead. We’ve got a stretch from late August into early September where the waves are either non-existent or just ankle-high at best. The water’s at 67°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 2° cooler, so it’ll feel crisp.
There’s a big gap of mostly flat conditions until you get to the 5th and 6th of September, when some very long-period groundswell (15 to 19 seconds) sneaks in from the WSW and W, but the swell height is only 0.7ft to 1.0ft. That’s tiny, but the energy readings (23 to 63) are still weak – not enough to get excited about.
Winds are clean – offshore from the north – so the surface would be smooth, but there’s just no swell to work with. For a spot that “rarely breaks,” this kind of run is par for the course. If you’re really keen, maybe the 5th or 6th could give you a few knee-high sneakers, but I wouldn’t plan a trip around it.
Rusty out.

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.
