The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I've looked at the charts for Sao Pedro, and I've got to be honest, it's a lean stretch ahead. The swell window looks like it's just not lining up for this particular point. We’re looking at a long run of small, weak surf, and it’s going to test the patience of even the most dedicated soul surfer.
We start off this Thursday morning with a bit of a pulse, but it's messy. There’s a cross-on wind blowing at 19 mph and the ocean is lumpy. That 8ft of west swell is all over the place with a short, weak 7-second period. It’s not inviting, and the wave energy is a lowly 573. If you're thinking about a paddle, you might want to think again. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so that’s not a problem.
That’s about as good as it gets, which is saying something. From Thursday afternoon all the way through to the 11th of September, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell drops right off, with most readings showing just 0.3ft or even flat. The wave energy is almost non-existent, often in single digits. What’s left of the swell is coming from the south and southwest, with periods of 10 to 18 seconds, but there’s just no size or power behind it. It’s going to be an incredibly long stretch of flat, small surf, and the first week of September is looking particularly bleak.
There are a few mornings of glassy conditions, especially the 28th and the 5th, and we get some offshore winds, but it doesn't matter when there are no waves to ride. It's like polishing a car with no engine. From around the 5th to the 9th, there is a long gap with no surf at all to speak of. For a spot that breaks so rarely, this is a pretty normal blank run, but it's still a tough pill to swallow. Remember, forecasts can change, and with a few consistent days on the cards, it won't stay poor forever. But right now, I'd be finding another hobby for the next couple of weeks.
This is Rusty, signing off. Keep the faith.

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.
