The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Lookin' at the charts for the next stretch, and I gotta be straight with ya – it's a tough one for São Pedro. The entire 16-day window is pretty much a flat spell, with no real surf to get excited about. We're looking at a long, dry period with barely a ripple.
Sunday, September 6th kicks off with nothing. No swell, just a moderate cross-off breeze. Monday the 7th offers a bit of offshore wind, but still no waves to speak of. This pattern of clean, windblown flatness carries right through the week. By Thursday, September 10th afternoon, we finally see a tiny pulse – a 1ft west swell at 7 seconds, but the combined energy is a measly 9, so it's barely a bump. Friday the 11th is similar with a 0.7ft west swell. The clean conditions are there, but the ocean is flat.
The weekend of the 12th and 13th doesn't offer any hope either. Even a glassy morning on Sunday the 13th with a 0.3ft southern groundswell at 12 seconds (energy of just 3) won't produce a ride. The following week, right up to Monday, September 21st, is more of the same story. We see a few 0.3ft pulses from the south and southwest, with some longer periods (up to 17 seconds) and even a glassy morning on the 17th, but the energy is so low – single digits and teens – it's not enough to push a wave. The offshore winds (NNE) on the 19th and 20th mornings are a tease, but there's no swell to work with.
This break is sheltered and rarely breaks, so this extended flat spell isn't a total shocker. It's a waiting game. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty average for the time of year.
Bottom line: there's nothing to recommend here. No standouts, no best day. The setup is flat, clean, and frustrating. See ya next time.
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.
