The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you straight up: things are looking pretty flat around here for a long while. I’ve looked over the numbers for Sao Pedro, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. This spot is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, so when the swell window is this empty, you’re left with nothing to get excited about.
For the entire 16-day window starting now, we’ve got virtually no surf to speak of. The first couple of days, Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th of July, only show tiny little bumps – we’re talking 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft with combined swell energy barely registering (1 to 15). That’s just not enough to push anything rideable, especially on a sheltered point that needs a good solid SW swell to work. The water temp is sitting around 68°, and the anomaly is only +0.4°, so it’s totally average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Through the rest of July and into the start of August, the numbers don’t improve. We see plenty of days with no swell height at all, and the wind stays cross-off or cross-shore, mostly from the NNW or NW. Even when there’s a little blip of energy, it’s all under 0.7 ft and the period is often short or mixed up. The best combined energy I see is a mere 15 on the afternoon of the 18th – that’s weak. There’s just no punch, no push.
Honestly, this is a real bummer. A run like this, where there are no standout days and barely a ripple on the surface, is more normal for this area when the swell window goes quiet. It’s one of those periods where the forecast is reliable because there’s nothing to forecast. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a glassy morning on the 22nd with a light breeze, but even then, the swell is zero. The setup here – sheltered and rarely breaking – means we’re just waiting for a proper SW groundswell to change things up.
So, no standout sessions here. No recommendations. Just a long, quiet stretch. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, maybe take a break or find something else to do. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a blank run.

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.
