The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Got to level with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a real bummer for paddling.
We're looking at Sao Pedro, a sheltered point that breaks "rarely breaks". That's your first warning. From Saturday, July 18th, all the way through the start of August, there's a massive gap with hardly any surf. We're talking two weeks of practically nothing. Swell heights are tiny, 0.3ft to 2ft at best. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly in the single or low double digits (like 4 or 7). The water is 69°F, which is pretty average for the time of year, so no help there.
The wind is a cross-off from the NNW, but without any swell, it's just a waste. The best you'll see is a tiny 2ft WNW swell on the morning of Monday, July 20th, but with a period of 8 seconds, it's got no guts. The report is all "poor surf conditions" across the board.
Even the last few days, around August 2nd, there's a 0.7ft W swell with a longer period, but the energy is still only 15, and the wind turns cross-shore, making it choppy. Not worth getting excited over.
With no consistent swell and a spot that hardly ever works, this whole 16-day window is a total blank. For this neck of the woods, a dry spell like this is pretty normal. Don't rush to wax up. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a hard pass.
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.
