The Lowdown

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you on this one. Lookin’ at the whole 16-day window for Sao Pedro, the honest truth is there’s nothin’ to get excited about. It’s gonna be a long, flat spell with barely a ripple. The first few days have a tiny bit of swell, but it’s so weak it’s hardly worth callin’ surf. We’re talkin’ a long stretch of quiet water from the start all the way through until about the middle of the month, with only a few days right at the end offerin’ the faintest pulse.

Let’s start from Thursday, September 3rd. Sao Pedro is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. On Thursday morning, we’re lookin’ at a tiny 0.7ft swell from the SSW, with a long period of 14 seconds, but no energy behind it. The combined energy is a measly 20 (weak). The water temp is 68°, which is about normal for this time of year with a -0.9° anomaly. Winds are light offshore from the NE, so it’s clean, but it’s just too small.

Friday the 4th is even worse. The swell drops to 0.3ft, and the combined energy is just 7. The wind goes glassy in the morning from the WNW, which is a real tease, but there’s no wave to surf. Saturday morning, the 5th, has a tiny 0.3ft swell with clean offshore NNE winds, but again, combined energy is only 6. It’s just a flat calm.

From Sunday the 6th right through Wednesday the 16th, the combined energy plummets to zero or near-zero for most of the days. We see a bit of a bump on Friday the 11th with a 1.0ft windswell from the west, but the period is a short 7 seconds, energy is 8, and it’s crossed up by 25 km/h N winds. On Tuesday the 15th, there’s a 1ft swell from the SSE with a very short period of 4 seconds, but it’s comin’ with onshore SSW wind, making it rubbish. The combined energy on that is only 10.

The best of a bad lot, if you can even call it that, comes on the 11th of September. The 1.0ft W windswell with a 7-second period is the biggest we see, but it’s still poor and not worth paddlin’ out for. The winds are moderate, and the break is rarely consistent. For a spot that’s sheltered and often crowded when it does fire, this is a total bust.

Honestly, this is a long stretch of no surf. It’s a blank run that’s normal for this area. You’d have better luck with a kite in the afternoon on the 6th or 7th when the wind hits 30-35 km/h, but for a paddle surfer? Leave the boards at home.

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.
