The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Sao Pedro. To be straight with you, it’s pretty quiet out there. This is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and over the next sixteen days, the swell just isn’t cooperating. There’s a long stretch of nothing to get excited about, with the first real sign of life not showing up until the 24th of August.

From now through most of the month, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell—barely a ripple. The 14th and 15th have some south pulse but it’s only 0.3 ft, with a 12-18 second period. That’s a long period for such a tiny wave, and it’s not going to wrap in properly. The winds are cross-off from the north-northwest, mostly moderate to fresh, so it’s clean but there’s simply no power. The combined energy is stuck in the single digits and low teens—that’s nothing. The whole first week is a write-off.

Even the 16th and 17th, with a bit of a south-west bump, the wave height is still 0.3 ft. The 18th and 19th bump up to a tiny 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft, but the wind swings onshore, and it’s messy. The combined energy creeps up to the 20s and 30s, but it’s still not enough to push a proper wave. The point is rarely breaking, and this stretch proves it.

Then the 24th of August is the only real standout in the whole window. The morning of the 24th, we get a 4 ft west swell, with a short period of 6 seconds. That’s a windswell, not a proper groundswell. The combined energy climbs to 95, which is moderate. The wind is cross-off from the north-northwest at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean. For a point break that barely gets anything, this is your best shot. But that short period means the waves will be a bit crumbly and not holding much shape. Still, it’s the only day with any size. On the 24th afternoon, the swell holds at 4 ft, but the wind picks up a bit.

After that, it drops straight back to nothing. The 25th through the 29th are all back to 0.3 ft or flat, with the combined energy in the single digits. The 28th and 29th have no swell at all.

So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the 24th of August is the only day that might offer a knee-high wave. But for a beginner-friendly point that rarely breaks, this is a pretty empty run. It’s not unusual for the area when the swell is this sheltered. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it can’t stay this poor forever.

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.
