Sao Pedro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I'm gonna level with you. We've got a pretty grim stretch ahead on the island here. The finder file doesn't give me any standout days to recommend; it's a flat spell with barely a ripple for the whole 16-day window. The forecast is a long, quiet lull.

Looking at the whole picture, the surf is just not happening. The best we see are tiny pulses of energy, barely reaching 1 ft at times, but the overall quality is rated as "poor surf conditions" right through to the 18th of July. We're talking about a solid two weeks of nothing doing.

Let's break it down. Starting from the 3rd of July (Friday afternoon) through to the 18th of July (Saturday afternoon), every single session is a bust. The swell heights are flat or a joke. For example, on the 5th of July, there's zero swell energy at all – a complete blank. Even the bigger days, like the 11th and 12th of July, only push up to 1 ft with a combined energy of just 9 to 27 – that's weak, barely a puff. The winds are mostly cross-off, but it doesn't matter when there's nothing to ride.

Because Sao Pedro is a point break, and it 'rarely breaks' anyway, this kind of dry spell isn't a shock. It’s more of a normal, frustrating reality than a freak event. The water temp is sitting around 67°F with a negligible anomaly of 0.2°F, so it's exactly what you'd expect for this time of year – not cold, but not doing you any favours either.

Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, you're better off finding a good book or a cliff to jump off. The only thing that might show up is a tiny window around the 17th of July, with a 1 ft west swell and 10-second period, but with that combined energy at 18 (moderate), it's still a maybe, and nothing to get excited about.

That's the reality of it. No standout breaks, no hidden gems. Just flat and poor.

Rusty.
