The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve been over the numbers for the next 16 days at Sao Pedro (Sao-Pedro-1). Let’s call it what it is – a flat-out drought. There’s no surf worth paddling for from the get-go on Wednesday the 12th, and it just keeps going dry all the way through to Thursday the 27th. That’s a 16-day stretch with nothing to ride.
We see a few tiny blips, like a 0.3ft south swell at 13 seconds on Thursday the 13th, or a 0.7ft SSW swell on Tuesday the 18th, but the wave energy is pitiful, with numbers like 3 or 25 – weak energy doesn’t even begin to cover it. The wind is often cross-off or offshore, but it’s wasted on a dead flat ocean.
Sao Pedro is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and it’s a beginner spot. With swell heights maxing out at 0.7ft, you’d be lucky to see a ripple. The water sits at about 70°F, with a 1°F anomaly, which is pretty average for this time of year – warm enough, but no waves to enjoy it.
There’s a glassy morning on Monday the 17th with a 0.3ft SW swell, but that’s a tease. Honestly, this is one of those long flat spells that’s normal for the area. Don’t bother suiting up – just wait for the next change.

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.
