The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks. I’m looking at the whole 16-day window, and honestly, there’s not a single day where I’d be excited to paddle out. The wave energy is basically non-existent, and the conditions are just flat or offering tiny, weak bumps. Let’s take it from the top.

The first record we see is for Sunday, the 19th of July. The swell is tiny, just 0.7ft out of the west, with a short period around 8-9 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 7 to 26 (weak energy). It’s clean, sure, with a cross-off wind, but there’s nothing to ride. This flat spell drags on for days. From Sunday the 19th all the way through to about Sunday the 26th, the surf is either flat or offering pitiful 0.3ft waves. The wind stays mostly cross-off from the NNW or NW, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no swell to work with.

We do see a tiny pulse on Sunday the 27th of July, with a 0.7ft west swell and a slightly better period of 9 seconds, but the energy is still only 12. It’s still a no-go. Then we drift into another flat spell from the 28th of July through to the end of the month. The wind picks up a bit on the 24th and 25th, hitting 19 mph from the NNW, but that’s just more chop on a flat ocean.

The first week of August doesn’t offer any relief. On the 1st of August, we get a clean offshore wind from the NNE in the morning, but there’s no swell at all. The only slight glimmer is on Sunday the 2nd of August, with a 1ft west swell and a decent period of 12 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 27 (still weak). The wind is light offshore from the north in the morning, so it’d be clean. But at 1ft, it’s barely a ripple. After that, it goes flat again.

The only break in the data is Sao Pedro, a point break that's sheltered and works best with a SW swell. The problem is, the swell is coming from the wrong direction (mostly W or S) and is tiny. This spot rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast confirms it’s a complete write-off. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is about average for the time of year (anomaly of 2°).

There is absolutely no standout session here. If you’re a kite surfer, the moderate to fresh cross-off winds on the 24th and 25th of July might offer some interest on the cleaner days, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a total blank. This is a flat spell, and for an area where this break rarely breaks, it’s not unusual to see a run like this. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off waxing your board and waiting.

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.
