The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s looking pretty flat for Sao Pedro for a long stretch.
Over the next 16 days, there’s hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first few days are a complete write-off, with zero swell showing. From Monday the 28th of July onward, we start seeing tiny bumps – nothing over 1 ft – but every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The wave energy is pathetic, barely cracking double digits (3 to 25).
The best we see is on Saturday the 1st of August, with a tiny 1 ft swell from the WSW, a period of 9 seconds, and combined energy sitting at just 25 – that’s weak. Winds are cross-off from the NW at 15 mph, so it won’t be glassy, but it won’t be howling either. Still, with a wave that small and inconsistent, it’s barely a knee-high dribble.
For the absolute best on offer, you’re looking at Sunday morning the 2nd of August. The swell is 1.0 ft from the WSW with a short 7-second period, combined energy of 22. Light cross-off wind from the NNW at 9 mph. It’s clean, but tiny. If you’re desperate and on a longboard, you might find a foamy crumble.
Honestly, given that Sao Pedro is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, this kind of flat spell isn’t a surprise. The water temperature is 69°, and that’s about average for this time of year – nothing weird there.
There are no true standouts. The entire 16-day window is a bust for surf. If the wind keeps up and the swell stays this weak, the beach setup might interest a kite surfer more than a paddle surfer.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts. It tends not to stay poor forever.

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.
