The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – this 16-day look at Sao Pedro is a rough one. There’s hardly any surf to speak of, and we’ve got a big dry spell coming.
We start off Friday, 17th July with a tiny 0.3ft swell from the SW, at a short 6-second period. The energy is next to nothing, just a 1 on the scale. Wind is cross-off from the NNW at 9 to 16 mph, keeping the surface clean but there’s nothing to ride. Water temp is 68°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
Saturday, 18th and Sunday, 19th July are more of the same – 0.3ft to 0.7ft swells. Sunday afternoon sees a little energy bump to 26, but with 0.7ft and a 9-second period, it’s still just a ripple. Wind stays cross-off. This pathetic dribble continues through the week, with the swell fading out completely by Wednesday, 22nd July.
From Thursday, 24th July all the way to 1st August, it’s a total flat spell. No swell, no height, zero energy. The wind blows fresh from the NNW, but it’s over a dead ocean. That’s over a week of nothing.
For a point break that rarely breaks as it is, this kinda blank run is normal for the area. There’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re really itching for a pull, this setup might be better for a kite than a surfboard, but honestly, just save your energy.
No standouts. No recommendations. The board stays on the rack.
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.
