The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat stretch ahead for our stretch of coast. The swell window’s looking mostly closed for the next two and a half weeks, and the little bumps that do show are weak and disorganised. If you’re hanging for a wave, you’re going to be waiting a while.

We’re starting off with next to nothing on Wednesday the 9th – just a tiny 0.3ft wobbler out of the west with a 13-second period, but the north-northwest cross-offshore breeze at 19 mph is going to chew up whatever’s there. The combined energy is a feeble 4, so it’s basically a lake with a ripple. Water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about normal for this time of year, so a touch cool but not crazy.

Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are similar – tiny 0.7ft bits of west swell, but the period drops right off to 8 seconds then 7 seconds. That’s short-period, chopped-up junk. There’s a bit of relief Friday morning when the wind swings north at 9 mph and goes offshore, so the surface will be clean, but the energy is still only a 6. You’d be fighting for a knee-high slop.

Saturday the 12th morning is the first little glimmer. The wind goes light north-northeast at 6 mph, offshore, and there’s a 0.3ft south-west swell with a 13-second period. It’s still tiny, and combined energy is a 7, but it’s clean. Sao Pedro (known locally as just the Point) is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, so when it’s this small, it’s basically non-existent.

Then we hit a real dead zone. From Saturday afternoon right through to Tuesday the 15th, there’s nothing – just flat, glassy mornings and cross-off breezes in the arvos. If you’ve got a longboard and no standards, you might find a ripple, but honestly, it’s a blank run.

Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th stay flat, with a fresh north-northwest breeze at 19-22 mph kicking up a bit of chop. By Friday the 18th, there’s a hint of life – a 0.3ft south-west swell with a very long 15-second period, but the energy is only a 9 and the wind is still cross-offshore at 19 mph. That long period at a point like this can be okay, but with this little size, it’s not doing anything.

The weekend of the 19th and 20th shows a small pulse – maybe 0.3ft on Saturday with a 14-second period, and the wind goes light offshore at 12 mph for the morning. Still tiny. Still not surfable. The combined energy is a 7.

Finally, there’s a slight uptick around Tuesday the 22nd. The morning shows 1ft from the south with a short 5-second period, but the energy is only a 4. That’s windswash, not surf. By the afternoon, it’s 0.7ft with a 10-second period and a bit more energy at 8, but it’s still a dribble.

The last couple of days, the 23rd and 24th, actually see a bit of a change – wind swings onshore from the south-west, and we get 0.7ft of west swell with a 9-second period. The energy nudges up to 6, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. It’s not surf, but it might be enough for a bodyboard or a boogie. Honestly, for the paddle surfers, there’s nothing here. The setup is more interesting for the kite crew if anything kicks up, but even that looks marginal.

Bottom line: there’s no real surf to get excited about in this whole 16-day window. Sao Pedro is a spot that rarely breaks anyway, so this kind of long flat spell isn’t unusual for it. But it won’t stay poor forever – the swell charts can flip. Keep an eye out, but 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.
