The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are gonna be a real struggle if you're looking to get wet. Let's break it down.
Staring at Sao Pedro, it's a classic sheltered point break, and while it leans SW for the best swell, the numbers are just not showing up. The first recommendation doesn't even pop until the 26th of August, and honestly, that's no kind of recommendation at all.
Wednesday the 26th morning brings a 4ft swell, but it's from the SSW with a horrible 5-second period, and the wind is blowing straight onshore at 16 mph. That's a messy, blown-out situation. The afternoon brings a 5ft W swell with a 6-second period, but it's cross-shore with a chop making things lumpy (combined energy of 196 – moderate at best, but terrible quality). After that, it's all downhill.
From the 27th of August all the way through to the 9th of September, it's a wasteland. We've got swells barely registering 0.3ft or 0.7ft, mostly from the south with long periods (10-18 seconds), but the energy is pathetic – often single digits. It's like the ocean is just sending long-period whispers. The wind cleans up and goes offshore or cross-offshore for days on end, which is frustrating because the conditions are glassy or clean, but there's simply no wave to ride.
The only tiny blip of interest might be the 31st of August morning. You get a 0.3ft swell from the SW but with an 18-second period and the wind cross-offshore. Still, with a combined energy of only 18, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel. It's barely a ripple.
Look, Sao Pedro is a spot that rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. There's no standout session. If you're a beginner, the 4ft on the 26th morning is borderline, but the wind and period ruin it. For experts, there's absolutely nothing over 8ft. Honestly, with the long-period, low-energy slop and clean winds, the whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on a few of those days, but there's barely enough energy for that either.
It’s a tough outlook. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but right now we’re looking at a blank run.

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.
