The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: it’s flat out there. This whole 16-day window is a bust for real waves, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. We’re looking at a proper drought.
For the first week and more, from the 5th through the 19th, there is absolutely nothing on the cards. We're talking about a solid two-week stretch with no surf worth paddling for. The swell is basically non-existent, with wave heights barely registering at 0.3ft to 0.7ft. The energy is pathetically weak, with the combined swell energy reading single digits and low teens most of the time, like 2, 3, 6, or 9. It’s heartbreaking.
The wind is mostly cross-off from the NNW, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride. The water is clean, sure, but that’s like a beautiful empty parking lot. It’s a long, flat grind.
There is one flicker of something. On the morning of the 18th and into the 19th, the energy ticks up a little, but we’re still talking about 0.3ft surf. The swell direction starts to shift to the southwest, which is the right idea for our sheltered setup here, but it’s just not enough. It’s like hearing a rumor of a party but no one shows up. By the 20th, the wind turns onshore from the southeast, and even the clean surface gets chopped up, though the swell remains a microscopic 0.3ft.
So, there you have it. A big fat zero. This is a blank run for the area, and with the break as inconsistent as it is, it’s not a huge surprise. When there’s nothing, there’s nothing. But this stretch can't last forever. Forecasts change. Keep the board waxed and be ready to pounce when the ocean wakes back up.
Stay salty,
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.
