Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for São Pedro.
Straight up, we’re staring down a long, flat spell. The first real chance of a wave doesn't show up until the 4th of July, and honestly, it's hardly worth paddling out for. The water temp is sittin' around 68°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no worries there.
São Pedro is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and that’s exactly the problem. For the entire 16-day window, the swell is tiny. From the 4th through to the 19th of July, we’ve got wave heights mostly at 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft. The energy is weak, with the biggest combined swell energy reading at just 23 on the 12th of July. That’s nothin’. The swell is comin’ from the south and southwest, but it just doesn’t have any grunt. Periods get long—up to 19 seconds on the 12th—which usually means groundswell, but the height is so small you'd be doing more floating than riding.
Winds are mostly cross-off or cross-shore from the north and northwest at 9 to 22 mph, so it won’t be glassy, but it will be clean. There is a moment on the 8th of July morning with an offshore wind from the north at 3 mph, but again, the swell is only 0.7 ft. It’s just not enough to work with.
There’s a tiny bump on the 19th of July with a 1 ft west swell and a 4-second period, but that’s short, weak, and messy. Honestly, there are no standouts. Nothing is breaking consistently.
For a spot that rarely breaks, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. Keep your board in the car, wait for a better forecast, and check back with me. The forecasts can always change.
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.
