The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Sao Pedro has on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. Sao Pedro is a pretty sheltered point that’s known for being inconsistent, and this forecast just flat-out doesn’t deliver. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with basically zero surfable waves. From now through the 31st of August, every single time slot shows poor surf conditions with barely a ripple. The combined swell energy barely even wakes up, sitting below 40 (that’s weak energy) for most of the period, and often dropping into single digits or even zero. The swell heights are stuck at a pathetic 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft, and only occasionally touch 1.0 ft. The direction is mostly from the SSW or SW, which isn't even the optimum direction for this spot anyway.
You’ve got some clean, offshore-ish mornings here and there – like the 16th morning with light cross-off winds and clear skies – but there’s just no swell to push it. It’s like having a perfect rig with no engine. The wind does go offshore from the NNE on the morning of the 31st, and the swell period is a very long 17 seconds, but the height is still only 0.3 ft. That’s a tease, not a session. The water temp is sitting around 68° at the start, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing if you decide to stare at a flat ocean.
Honestly, there is no standout, no best option. This ain't a surf forecast; it's a weather report for a lake. The whole 16 days is a write-off for a wave ride. For an area where the break rarely breaks, this sort of blank run is more normal than not. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe, but don’t bother with a board.
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.
