Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sao Pedro over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, I’m looking at a pretty bleak stretch of water ahead. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell. There’s not a single surfable wave in the forecast. We’re talking about 16 days of nothing but tiny dribbles or zero swell at all. For a spot like Sao Pedro, which is a sheltered point that rarely breaks anyway, this kind of blank run isn't totally out of the ordinary, but it's still a bummer.
The first couple of days, Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, are just a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak windswell with barely any energy. The wind is all over the shop, cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. Monday the 13th through Tuesday the 14th, the swell is a joke, 0.3 ft to 2 ft, and even with a light offshore breeze on Monday morning, there’s just no power in the water to do anything with it.
From Wednesday the 15th onwards, it’s a ghost town. The swell disappears completely for days, with the energy flatlining at zero. The wind turns clean and cross-offshore, but there’s simply nothing to ride. There are flickers of very long-period, groundswell energy on the 15th, 16th, and 18th, but it’s only producing 0.3 ft of height. That’s not a wave you can surf.
So, the long and short of it is: there are no standouts, no best days, no recommendations. It’s a total flat spell. Hang the boards up, get the wax off, and check back in a few days. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is about as quiet as it gets.
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.
