The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you. We’re looking at a rough 16-day stretch for São Pedro.
Right from the start, there’s just nothing doing. The first real hint of any rideable swell doesn’t show until way down the line, and even then it’s marginal. We’re talking about a long, dry gap with no surf to speak of.
The whole first week is a total bust. Day after day we see wave heights barely registering, combined energy values in the single digits (like a measly 2 or 6), and wind that’s either cross or crossing off. For a break that rarely breaks anyway, this is a dead period. Don’t even bother checking the cam.
Things aren’t looking much better going into the second week. There’s a tiny flutter of activity on Thursday, September 24th, with the afternoon showing a 0.3m swell from the west and a period of 8 seconds. That’s about 1 foot. Combined energy climbs to just 12. It’s weak. It’s not going to be worth a trip.
The only tiny glimmer, and I mean tiny, is Monday, September 28th. Both the morning and afternoon show a 0.3m swell from the west-southwest, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s about 1 foot. The energy is still low at 16 and 15, but the wind looks clean and cross-off. That’s about the best we’ll see.
So, if you’re a paddler, this forecast is a write-off. The consistent energy just isn’t there. For the locals who might be into other things, that stronger north-northwest wind in the first week, combined with any bump on the water, might make for some fun kite sessions on a beach setup, but it’s not for us surfers.
I hate to say it, but this is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for this area when the swell window shuts off.
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.
