The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I'll level with you straight up. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Sao Pedro... it's a tough one. This spot is a sheltered little point break that "rarely breaks", and this forecast is a classic example of why.

We start off on Friday, August 21st, with a tiny 0.6ft SSW swell but the wind is a cross-off, so it's clean. Problem is, there's nothing to ride. The combined energy is a measly 21, which tells you it's just not happening. That flat, weak pattern sticks around right through the weekend into Monday morning.

Now, late Monday the 24th is where things get interesting, but not for us paddle surfers. A strong WSW swell hits 8ft with an 8-second period, and the energy jumps way up to 805 and then 1204. That's serious power. But the wind is howling onshore and the surf quality is rated as poor. With those conditions and the beach/reef setup, this is looking way more like a kite surfer's day than ours.

Tuesday the 25th through Friday the 5th of September is a grim run. The swell drops back to almost nothing – 0.3ft to 0.6ft – with weak energy. The wind is clean or offshore most of that time, which would be great if there was any wave to shape. It's just flat and clean for days on end. There's a glimmer on the 1st of September with a 0.6ft SSW swell having a period of 16 seconds, but the energy is only 50. It's a whisper, not a wave. And on Thursday the 3rd, we get some proper offshore wind from the N, but again, with a 0.6ft swell, it's just a glassy pond.

Honestly, there's not a single standout session in this whole outlook. The only real "action" is the big, messy, onshore event on Monday the 24th, and that's not for a surfer on a standard board. It's a long, blank run for Sao Pedro, which is normal for an "inconsistently" breaking spot like this. Keep an eye on the charts, because it can't stay this flat forever, but for now, leave the board 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.
