The Lowdown
Right then, mate. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat outlook overall. We’re staring down a long stretch of barely-there swell with nothing that gets the heart pumping. The first real chance of something rideable won’t pop up until late in the second week, but even then, it’s a real long-shot.
The only spot on the radar is Sao Pedro. It’s a point break that’s sheltered from most swell and, to be fair, it rarely breaks, so a blank run isn’t out of the ordinary here. The water’s sitting at about 67°, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year.
For the entire first week, from Saturday the 12th right through to Saturday the 26th of September, it’s a dead loss. The combined swell energy is either zero or in the single digits (0 to 10), with tiny waves around 0.3 ft. The wind is mostly cross-off or offshore, so it’d be clean, but there’s simply nothing to surf. Even the glassy mornings on the 14th and 22nd are flat.
Finally, on Sunday the 27th of September, we see a tiny pulse. The morning offers a 0.7 ft swell from the W with a period of 5 seconds, and the energy is weak (2). The afternoon bumps to a 0.3 ft SW swell with a 12-second period and energy at 7. The wind is cross-off. It’s not good—it’s tiny, inconsistent, and for absolute beginners at best.
There is no standout period. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 27th is the only day with any lines in the water, but don’t kid yourself. For anyone serious about surfing, you’d be better off waiting for the next real system to roll through.
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.
