Sao Pedro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it for Sao Pedro.

Gotta level with you here – over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell is flat, the energy is gone, and there’s a huge gap with no real surf on offer. Don’t get your hopes up.

Starting off Wednesday the 22nd of July, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell out of the west with a period of just 5 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at (8). Wind’s from the NW at 6 mph as a cross-offshore in the morning, so it’s clean, but the swell is barely a ripple. Water temp is 69°, which is pretty average for this time of year.

Thursday the 23rd is the same sad tune – 2ft from the WNW, still a 5-second period and only (21) energy. By Friday the 24th, we’re down to 0.3ft with an 11-second period, but the energy is basically gone at (2). The first week is a total washout.

Through the end of July and into early August, it’s grim. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th have that tiny 0.3ft south swell with a very long 15-16 second period, but the energy is tiny (4-10) and the wind is fresh at 18-22 mph. From Monday the 27th, we see long stretches of zeros in the swell column, with the combined energy flat at (0) for days. Late July shows a little 0.3ft west swell on the 31st with a 13-second period and (3) energy, but that’s not real surf.

The first week of August is more of the same. A 0.3ft south swell on Monday the 3rd and Wednesday the 5th, energy in the (3-6) range. If I had to pick a standout – and I mean the best of a bad lot – maybe the morning of Thursday the 6th of August: a 0.3ft south swell at 12 seconds with (6) energy and a cross-offshore NNW wind at 18 mph. But that’s a desperate call.

This is a proper flat spell, and for this spot, it’s not that unusual when the swell window closes. Hang tight, keep an eye on the charts, because it won’t stay this dead forever.

Rusty.
