The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, I've got to be straight with you – it's a flat spell for Sao Pedro. The combined swell energy never gets out of the single digits, peaking at a measly 11 (weak energy), and the swell heights are tiny, all under 1 ft. This is a real quiet period. We're looking at a long stretch with no real surf on offer, especially from the 13th of September through to the end of the forecast on the 25th.
The one brief flicker of life is right at the start. Thursday the 10th of September morning, we have a tiny 1 ft swell from the west, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a cross-off from the north at 12 mph, which will keep the surface reasonably clean. The combined energy is only 11 (weak energy), so it's not going to have any punch. Friday the 11th morning is similar, with a 0.7 ft west swell and a lighter offshore wind from the NNE at 9 mph, making for a cleaner surface. The energy is even lower at 4 (weak energy).
Honestly, the best of a very poor bunch is probably the Saturday morning of the 12th of September. The swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft from the south, but the period is a long 13 seconds, and the wind is a light offshore from the NNE at 3 mph. The energy is 3 (weak energy). It's glassy and clean, but there's just no water moving. It's a shame, because Sao Pedro is a sheltered point break that would love a proper southwest swell.
After that, from Sunday the 13th onwards, it's pretty much a dead zone. The swell heights are either zero or a tiny 0.3 ft, and the wind is often cross-off or cross-shore. There's a period of an 18-second long-period groundswell on the 17th of September, but it's from the south and only 0.3 ft, which is nothing. This setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, but even then, you'd need some wind.
So, to sum it up: there's nothing to get excited about. A blank run like this is normal for the area when the swell direction isn't cooperating. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board in the shed.
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.
