Sao Pedro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the outlook for our stretch of coast is a tough one to write. This is a 16-day window, and if you’re looking for a proper surf, you’re going to be waiting for a long time. There’s a big gap here with no real recommendations at all, just lots of tiny, weak waves and poor surf conditions dominating the whole period.

Right now, we’re looking at a long, dry spell. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to about the 12th of August, the only break on offer is Sao Pedro. It’s a point break, but it rarely breaks, and when it does, it’s not exactly lighting up. The first few days are basically flat. Wednesday morning the 29th has a tiny 0.3ft swell from the south with a 13-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 3. That’s basically nothing. The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

The wind is a mix of cross-off from the north and northwest, which would be fine if there was any wave to surf. We get a little bump on the 31st of July – a 1.0ft west swell with a period of 11 seconds, energy nudging up to 21 – but it’s still poor surf conditions. The best we see is Saturday the 1st of August afternoon, with a 2ft west swell, short period of 9 seconds, and energy of 73. That’s still weak, and the wind is moderate cross-off. It’s not enough to get excited about.

The whole 16 days is a flat-line. There’s no standout. No session to circle on the calendar. For a point break that’s already inconsistent, this is a real bummer. The forecast can always change, but right now, you’re better off checking the kite forecast. The wind is consistent, and the swell is too weak for a paddle. Until the 13th of August brings a weak 2ft west swell with a 6-second period and energy of 28, there’s just nothing to ride.

Stay patient, friends. This one’s a write-off.

Rusty.
