The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Sao Pedro over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak for paddle surfing. We’re looking at a long stretch of days with barely a ripple and mostly cross-shore or cross-offshore winds. The water’s sitting at 70°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s standard.
The first real sniff of any action comes in on Friday, the 24th of July. Tuesday the 21st has a tiny 0.7ft to 2ft swell, but it’s weak with a combined energy of just 4 (Tuesday morning) and 28 (Tuesday afternoon), and the wind is cross-shore. It’s no good. Wednesday and Thursday are even flatter.
So, Friday morning the 24th. We see a little bump from the WNW at 3ft, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the combined energy is only 47 (weak). That’s not a groundswell, that’s windswell, and with a moderate cross-shore breeze, it’s going to be choppy and messy. Not worth the paddle out. Friday afternoon, the swell drops to 0.3ft.
From Saturday the 25th through to the end of the forecast on the 5th of August, the swell is either flat or producing tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft leftovers from the south and west. The periods get long, up to 15 seconds, which is a groundswell, but with zero height, it’s just a long-period slosh. The winds are mostly cross-off or clean, but you can’t surf what isn’t there.
The combined energy values are all single-digit or low double-digit (the highest being 20 on the 4th of August afternoon), way below 100, which confirms there’s just no punch in the water. Sao Pedro *rarely breaks* anyway, and this forecast shows exactly why. It’s a sheltered point that needs a proper SW swell to light up, and we’re not getting it.
There is simply no standout option here. If you’re a kite surfer, the consistent cross-off winds on the 25th-26th (22 mph) and the 3rd-5th (19-22 mph) might be interesting, but for a surfer, it’s a washout. The forecast can change, but as it stands, this is a classic blank run for the area.
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.
