The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Sao Pedro. I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a pretty bleak stretch ahead. We’ve got a full 16-day window here, and honestly, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The first few days are a write-off, and after that, it’s tumbleweeds. Let’s run through it.
We kick off on Saturday the 22nd of August. Sao Pedro’s a sheltered point break that only breaks on a rare swell, and right now it’s flat as a tack. Combined energy is a weak 20, with a tiny 0.7ft SSW swell and a long 14-second period – that’s a groundswell, but there’s just no height. Wind is cross or onshore, so the poor surf conditions are no surprise. Sunday the 23rd brings a bit more pulse – a 4ft SSW swell on the morning (98 energy) and 5ft S swell in the afternoon (166 energy) – but the period drops to a short 5–6 seconds, which is choppy, weak windswell. On top of that, we’ve got fresh onshore winds and rain showers. It’s messy. Monday the 24th actually sees the biggest energy of the whole run with 963 from an 8ft WSW swell, but that’s accompanied by strong onshore winds and rain. At 8ft, that’s expert-only territory, but the quality is awful – it’s just a washing machine. The combined energy (963) is strong, but it’s all wind and chop.
From Tuesday the 25th onwards, the swell just drains away. We’re looking at 0.3ft or less for days. The wind goes glassy calm on Tuesday morning, which is a tease – clean as a whistle but nothing to ride. Then from Wednesday the 26th right through to Saturday the 5th of September, the wave heights are basically zero. There’s a little 0.7–1.0ft pulse on the 1st and 2nd of September with a nice long 15–18 second period from the SW, and the wind is clean offshore or cross-offshore, which would be perfect if there was any swell. But at 24–37 combined energy, it’s just a ripple. The water is likely around average for the time of year here, but with no waves, it doesn’t matter much.
This is just one of those blank runs for the area. Sao Pedro is inconsistent at the best of times, and we’ve got a solid two-week gap with no real surf. If I had to pick a standout – and I’m stretching here – the morning of Tuesday the 25th had glassy conditions, but there was nothing to surf. That’s the story. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it can turn around, but right now, leave the boards at home.

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.

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.
