The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The truth is, for the entire 16-day window, there’s just nothing doing. Not a single session worth paddling out for. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
The only spot we’ve got to talk about is Sao Pedro, and it's a heartbreaking one. This place is a point break that’s sheltered from the swell, and it's already a rare event when it decides to break. For the first week, from the 29th of August right through to the 4th of September, we're looking at tiny, weak bumps. The swell height barely climbs above 1 ft, and the energy is laughable – we’re talking single-digit figures like 2 (weak energy) all the way up to a paltry 46 (weak energy) on the 2nd of September morning. The wind is mostly a cross-offshore breeze, which would keep the water clean, but when there’s nothing to ride, it doesn’t matter.
The second week doesn't get any better. From the 5th of September onwards, the swell flatlines completely. We’re looking at zeros for height and energy day after day. The wind does go offshore on the 7th and 9th of September, and we even get a glassy calm on the morning of the 13th of September, which would be a dream if there was a wave. But there isn't. The combined energy of all swells directed here is just 0 (weak energy) for most of the second week.
It’s a rare blank run for this area, so don’t write it off forever. Forecasts can change.
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.
