The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about the surf outlook for Sao Pedro.
Straight up, it's a tough run ahead. For a spot that's a sheltered point break and rarely breaks, we're looking at a long stretch with nothing on the table. From now, right through to the end of the forecast period on the 22nd of September, there's no surf worth paddling for. We've got a solid 11-day gap with zero recommendations.
The first couple of days are all clear skies but flat. Winds are howling from the north and NNW, which is the right offshore direction for this break, but without any swell, it's just a waste of a good wind. As we move into the 11th, a tiny bit of energy appears – we're talking a 0.7ft wave from the west with a short period of 7 seconds and combined energy of (6). That's barely a bump. The conditions are clean, but it's just not going to break at Sao Pedro.
The rest of the week into the next is more of the same. We see a few glassy mornings on the 13th and 14th with the wind swinging light and variable, but the swell is a whisper – a 0.3ft south swell popping up with a period of 13 seconds and combined energy of (2 to 6). That's not enough to get a point like this to show its face.
Even as we head into the third week, around the 18th of September, we see a familiar picture. Glassy conditions in the morning with a 0.3ft, 16-second groundswell from the SW and energy hitting (17), but it's just not enough push for a sheltered spot. A point break needs a proper pulse to wrap in, and this just isn't it.
The combined energy figures tell the whole story – nearly all are single-digit values, which is weak. There is no stand-out swell. If this area had a beach break, you could maybe find a ripple, but for Sao Pedro, the setup looks more interesting for a flat-water paddle than a surf. It's a blank run, and for a spot that rarely breaks, that's more normal than not.
This is Rusty, signing off. Better luck next time the charts look different.

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.
