The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at the local stretch.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, it’s a pretty grim 16-day outlook here at Sao Pedro. This spot is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, so we're already fighting an uphill battle, and the numbers tell the story – there's basically nothing on the table for the foreseeable future. We're looking at a long, flat run with no real surf to speak of for the entire 16-day window.
The first few days are all about tiny, unrideable swell. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July, we’ve got a pathetic 0.3ft of south swell creeping in, but with a cross-off wind, the wave energy is barely a whisper (3 to 10). It's a hard pass. Then from Monday the 27th right through to Saturday morning the 9th of August, the swell completely flatlines – zeros across the board for combined energy. There are stretches of glassy conditions on Monday 27th morning, Wednesday 29th morning, and Friday 31st morning, and even a dead calm on Saturday the 1st of August morning, which is a beautiful picture, but with no waves, it’s just a photo. Even the best cross-off breezes can’t make something out of nothing. We do see a small pulse of west swell on Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon (1ft, 10-second period, 32 energy) and again on Thursday the 6th of August morning (1ft, 10-second period, 36 energy), but it’s still too small and weak to break this point properly.
Sao Pedro is a beginner-level point that rarely turns on, and with the optimum swell from the southwest, we’re just not getting the right swell direction or size. When you combine a tricky, sheltered setup with zero wave height for weeks, there’s nothing to recommend. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on that west swell pulse around the 2nd and 6th of August, but don’t hold your breath. For now, the board stays in the car.
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.
