The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real. Looking at the next 16 days for Sao Pedro, it's mostly a flat spell. This is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and the energy is just not there. The only little bump we get is around Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th of August, but even then, the conditions are rough.
First up, Sunday afternoon, August 23rd. Swell picks up to 6ft from the west, with a 10-second period, and combined energy at 776 (moderate). But the wind is a cross-onshore from the south at 15 mph, making it choppy. Water temp is about average for the season. The next morning, Monday the 24th, the swell is a bit bigger at 7ft from the southwest, but the period drops to 8 seconds, and energy is 574. The wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the south at 19 mph, with a risk of thunderstorms. That's a lumpy, onshore mess—honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it's back to tiny surf. From Tuesday the 25th onward, the swell drops to 2ft or less, and combined energy is below 30 (weak). The wind does turn cross-offshore from the north and northwest through the end of August and into early September, keeping the surface clean, but there's just no wave to ride. The point rarely breaks, and this stretch confirms it—a long gap of poor to no surf from the 25th through to the 5th of September.
The only flicker of hope is on the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. A 1ft swell from the southwest with a 15-second period (long period groundswell) and combined energy of 37 (still weak). The wind is cross-offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, so it's clean. But 1ft is barely a ripple on a point. This is a long-range call, and it's not worth getting stoked about.
So, raw truth? No standout session here. The best you've got is that Sunday/Monday bump, but the onshore winds and short period ruin it. For a beginner spot that rarely breaks, this is a long, flat run. Kick back and wait for a better forecast. Things can change, but right now, it's a slow one.

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.
