G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s get straight into it.
Alright, for this region we’re looking at the Sao Pedro point break – a sheltered spot that rarely breaks. It’s a beginner-friendly wave when it does work, but honestly, the 16-day window is a total write-off for surf. There’s nothing to get excited about. The forecast shows a long, flat gap right from the start, with no decent swell on offer at all.
From Saturday 11 July right through to Sunday 26 July, we’re looking at tiny, weak energy. The combined swell energy never gets above 93 (93) on Sunday 12 July morning, and that’s with a weak 3 ft swell from the west at 9 seconds – not enough to push through. The rest of the time it’s mostly 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft junk, with energy readings in the single digits or teens. Seriously small.
The wind is often cross-offshore or offshore, especially from the second week onwards, which would be clean, but there’s just no swell to work with. The water temp is around 67°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The only faint glimmer is on Sunday 12 July, where the morning shows a 3 ft west swell with 9-second period, but the wind is onshore from the south at 15 km/h, so it’s messy. The afternoon is even smaller. For the rest of the month, it’s barely a ripple. This spot is so inconsistent that a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath.
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.
