The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the outlook for Sao Pedro over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing really worth paddling out for. The forecast shows a whole lot of flat days and tiny, weak dribble that won’t get your heart racing. The first few days are a write-off, and the pattern just doesn’t improve.
Starting from Tuesday, the 14th of July, it’s pretty grim. The swell is tiny, only 1ft from the west with a weak combined energy of just 21. The wind is cross, so it’s messy. That’s a no-go. The rest of the week and into the next is a sad story of 0.3ft to 1ft bumps, mostly with clean conditions but no power behind them. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal.
We get a slight bump on Tuesday, the 21st of July, with the swell hitting 2ft from the WNW. The combined energy is still only 33, which is weak. The wind is cross-off and clean, so it’ll look pretty, but you’ll be fighting for a knee-high wave. It’s not something to get excited about, and honestly, it’s still poor surf.
The whole second week is a write-off, with most days showing flat conditions or barely a ripple. The wind is often cross-off and clean, but there’s just no swell to work with. Sao Pedro rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast confirms it. For a beginner, the tiny waves might be manageable, but the quality just isn’t there. This blank run is pretty normal for the area, so don’t get your hopes up. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a flat spell.
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.
