The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight with you about the outlook for São Pedro. This is a sheltered point break that needs a very specific swell direction to work, and the next 16 days are looking pretty grim. There’s no real surf to speak of for the entire forecast period, so don't go getting your hopes up.
The first few days are a total write-off. From Sunday the 6th right through to the morning of Thursday the 10th, there's just nothing. The swell is flat, with a combined energy of zero (0) – it's a complete bust. The wind is mostly a cross-off breeze, but there's no wave to ride, so it's a straight-up no-go for a paddle.
Even when we get a tiny pulse of swell on the afternoon of the 10th, it's useless. We're looking at a pathetic 1 ft from the west, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 10 (weak), and the forecast says "poor surf conditions." You’d be better off staying home.
The following days barely get a mention. Friday the 11th through to the 21st of September all show tiny, inconsistent swell – mostly 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft from the west or south. The wind does turn favourable, with some light offshore breezes and even a few glassy mornings on the 14th, 19th, and 20th. But the swell is just too small and weak to even register. The combined energy stays below 12 (weak) for the entire run. We even see a very long period swell of 16 seconds on the 14th, but it's from the west and only 0.3 ft – it's a ghost.
This spot "rarely breaks" as it is, and this forecast is a prime example of that. The blank run is pretty normal for this area when the swell doesn't align. There’s simply nothing here worth paddling out for. The only silver lining is that with such weak energy and clean conditions, if you're a kite surfer, the light winds and glassy water might be interesting, but for a surfboard? Forget it.
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.
