Sao Pedro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this outlook’s a tough one. I’ve gone through the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. The forecast is pretty bare for most of the period, so don’t be holding your breath.

We’re looking at a long stretch of flatness with very little swell and mostly poor conditions, so I’d say put the boards away for a while. The only break on the cards is Sao Pedro, and it rarely breaks at the best of times, so this blank run is pretty normal for this area. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is about average for the time of year—an anomaly of 1°F, so nothing unusual there.

For Sunday 5 July, there’s no surf at all in the morning—zero energy. The afternoon’s the same. Monday 6 July brings tiny little 0.3 ft swell from the south with a period around 11-13 seconds, but combined wave energy is just 2-3 (weak). It’s poor surf and not worth paddling out for. That pattern just keeps going: Tuesday, Wednesday, all through the week, barely a ripple, with cross-off winds and no proper swell. By Saturday 11 July, we’re still stuck on 0.3 ft from the southwest, periods around 16 seconds, but energy only reaching 9-10.

The only slight glimmer—and I’m stretching here—might be on Sunday 12 July, when the swell stays at 0.3 ft but period hits 19 seconds and combined energy bumps to 15. Still tiny, though, and with a fresh breeze from the NNW, it’ll be messy. For the rest of the second week, it’s more of the same: tiny swell, cross-off winds, and poor surf flagged all the way through to Monday 20 July.

So, no standout days here, my friend. The best I can say is if you’re desperate, look at the southwest swell directions on those rare moments, but honestly, this stretch is a write-off. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose all hope, but for now, it’s a flat spell.

Stay patient,
Rusty
