Sao Pedro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Sao Pedro.

Right up front, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking like a tough stretch ahead for this spot. The whole 16-day window is a real desert, with barely a ripple to get excited about. There’s a gap of basically the entire period with no solid recommendations, just tiny bits of energy here and there. Most days are showing flat, zero-energy conditions, especially from around the 11th of July through to the afternoon of the 15th, where we’ve got a long run of nothing but zeros for wave energy.

On the morning of Wednesday the 8th of July, you’ll find a tiny 0.3ft of south swell with a super long 18-second period. The energy reading is weak at just 10, and with a gentle offshore breeze from the north, it’ll be clean. But honestly, it’s barely a ripple, not worth paddling out for. The water temp sits at 68°F, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

There’s a slight pulse on Thursday the 16th of July, where we see a little 2ft to 3ft west swell, but the period is only 6 seconds. That’s a short, weak windswell, and the combined energy is only moderate at 35 to 46. Winds stay clean and cross-offshore, so the surface will be smooth, but the waves will be soft and small. Not a standout by any stretch.

After that, from the 17th of July right through to the 23rd, it’s back to tiny 0.3ft to 1.0ft swells with weak energy readings mostly under 12. Winds are often strong, with fresh breezes up to 22 mph from the north-northwest, keeping it clean but offering nothing to ride.

There’s no real standout session here, I’m sorry to say. The whole window is a bust. Sao Pedro rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast just confirms it. If you’re really desperate for a paddle, maybe the 16th of July has the most energy, but don’t expect much.

Stay tuned, things can change.
