The Lowdown
Alright, listen up, crew. Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown on this stretch, and it's a rough one. We're talking a 16-day forecast that kicks off with a big fat zero. The first week, from August 1st through August 7th, there's pretty much no swell to speak of. The first real sign of a wave doesn't come until Saturday afternoon, August 8th, and it's a weak little thing. The combined swell energy finally gets off the floor at 166 (moderate) that Saturday afternoon, but it's a short-period, messy 4ft from the west, so don't get your hopes up. After that, it's back to tiny, gutless pulses. The only spot we've got is Sao Pedro. It's a sheltered point that *rarely breaks*, so a flat run like this is pretty much business as usual for the area. The water's at 67°, which is about 1° cooler than it should be for this time of year – just a bit on the chilly side.
Saturday, August 8th, is your best shot, but I'm not gonna call it a standout. You've got a weak 4ft swell from the west with a period of only 8 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore from the NNW, so the surface will be clean, and the combined energy is 166 (moderate). Since it's a point break, that short period won't mess it up too badly, but it's still average at best. The crowds are "often" there, so you won't be alone. For a beginner, that 4ft is fine, but it's not a day to get stoked about.
Then it just fades out. Sunday, August 9th, has a tiny 2ft from the west, and the rest of the 16 days are mostly flat with a few 0.3ft – 0.7ft leftovers. There's a faint pulse of 0.7ft from the west on the afternoon of Sunday, August 16th, but with a combined energy of only 6 (weak), it's barely a bump. The winds stay cross-offshore from the north-northwest for most of it, so it'll be clean, but there's just nothing to push the waves.
So, the hard truth? There's no true standout in this whole 16-day window. If you're itching to get wet on Saturday, August 8th, that's your window, but keep your expectations real low. Otherwise, it's a long, dry spell. The near-term forecast is solid, and it's ugly. For the second week, the long-range calls are even weaker, so don't count on anything. This spot just doesn't produce much, and this is what a quiet period looks like.

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.
