The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a quiet stretch for a while.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell ahead. From now through the 21st of August, the surf lights are barely flickering at Sao Pedro. There's some swell showing up on the charts, but the energy is weak – values barely creeping past single digits – and the wind is mostly cross-off or onshore. It’s not rideable. The water temp is sitting at a pretty standard 68°F, nothing weird there for this time of year.
That dead run stretches for nearly two weeks. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Friday the 21st of August. We finally get some clean, offshore wind out of the north, which is a huge plus for this sheltered point break. The swell is tiny, just 0.7ft from the SSW with a long period of 15 seconds. The energy is still low, but that long period groundswell combined with clean wind could shape up a few glassy lines. It’s the standout simply because it’s the only option.
Forget about Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd – the wind swings back around and kills it again. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of Monday the 24th of August has a similar setup to the 21st: clean north offshore wind and a weak 0.3ft, 13-second south swell. It’s a long way out and not reliable.
Keep an eye on the forecast, because the run here is unusually quiet, and it usually doesn’t stay that way for long.
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.
