The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good hard look at what’s on offer. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The entire 16-day outlook is flat as a pancake for any proper surfing. We’re looking at a long, long stretch of nothing.

The first recommendation pops up on Wednesday, September 2nd, and it’s a sad start. We’re talking tiny, weak swell from the SSW. The combined energy is only a measly 23 (weak). For the whole first week and into the next, the wave heights barely tickle 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with periods between 8 to 17 seconds. Even with that long-period south groundswell, it’s just not got any push.

There is one spot, Sao Pedro. It’s a point break, which is good for the swell direction (SW is optimum), but it’s a tricky one. For one, it rarely breaks, so any surf here is a bonus. It’s sheltered, and when there is the ghost of a wave, the early mornings with a NNE offshore (like Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th) will be glassy and clean. But honestly, with the swell so small, you’d be floating more than surfing. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no shock there.

The middle of the period is a total write-off. From Saturday 5th through to Thursday 10th, there’s absolutely zero significant swell energy. Just clean, flat water. A few days later, around Friday 11th and Saturday 12th, we see a tiny pulse of 0.3ft swell from the south with a bit more energy (up to 6) and offshore winds, but it’s still only creating “poor surf conditions.” It’s not a standout by any stretch. The true last flicker is on Tuesday 15th with 0.7ft from the west, but the period is a short 8 seconds, creating bumpy, poor quality waves.

There’s no big swell, and nothing comes close to 5ft. It’s a real bummer, lads. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal for this time of year. Given the tiny swell, poor quality, and mostly clean or cross-off wind, at a beach-and-reef setup it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than for a paddle surfer right now.

Hang in there – forecasts change, and we’ll see if anything picks up later. I’m not holding my breath for this window though.

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.
