The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this one down in feet and miles per hour.
We’re looking at Sao Pedro as the only option. It’s a point break, pretty sheltered, and it’s one of those spots that “rarely breaks.” So right off the bat, the odds are stacked against us. Water temp’s around 68°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Scanning the full 16-day forecast, it’s grim. There’s nothing worth chasing. The whole stretch is a dud. The first bit of activity shows up on Sunday September 6th with a tiny 0.3ft swell from the SW, period of 12 seconds, and combined energy of just 5. Wind is cross-off, but the waves are too small to care.
Monday the 7th has offshore wind in the morning – that’d be perfect if there was any swell, but there isn’t. Flat. Tuesday and Wednesday are the same deal. Thursday the 10th has a light offshore breeze but zero waves. Friday the 11th finally shows 0.7ft from the west, period of 7 seconds, energy of 6 – still pathetic. Saturday the 12th is 0.7ft and 7 seconds with a light cross-shore breeze.
Second week rolls in, and it’s more of the same. Sunday the 14th has a 0.3ft south swell, period 11 seconds, energy 2. Monday the 14th afternoon has the “biggest” wave of the whole run – 1ft from the west, 9-second period, energy of 14. That’s it. After that, it’s all 0.3ft swells from the south or southwest, with periods from 11 to 18 seconds. That long-period groundswell on the 17th and 18th is a cruel joke at that size.
So, there’s your lot. Nothing for surfers across the whole 16 days. No standout days, no hidden gems. Just a flat, empty forecast. Sometimes the ocean just doesn’t cooperate.
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.
