The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast.
Well, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this 16-day window is looking like a write-off. We’ve got a big fat gap of nothing for the first week, and honestly, it doesn't get much better. The only wave we’re going to see is so small and weak it’s barely a ripple. We’re looking at a long stretch of clean, offshore winds, but no swell to go with 'em. It’s a real kick in the teeth.
The first hint of any wave energy shows up on the 10th of August (Monday afternoon), but don’t get your hopes up. We’re talking about a tiny 0.7ft wave from the West, with a period of just 8 seconds – that’s short-period wind slop. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NW, so the surface will be clean, but the combined energy is a paltry 10, which is basically nothing. It’s surfable for a total beginner on a foamie, but no one’s calling it a good session.
The absolute best of a bad lot is the 10th of August (Monday morning). It’s still small – a 2ft swell from the West, with a 6-second period. The combined energy is a weak 20. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NW, so it’ll look pretty. But with that period and size, it’s just not going to have any push. This spot, Sao Pedro, is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms it’s not going to be offering much at all.
Water temperature is 68°F, which is about 0.5°F cooler than usual for this time of year – basically average, nothing to write home about.
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, this might be more interesting than a paddle. The steady cross-offshore winds are present for days on end, while the waves are just too small for a proper surf. For the rest of the 16 days, there’s nothing. It’s a blank run, and unfortunately, for this area, that’s pretty normal.
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.
