The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s brewing for this stretch of coast.
Alright, straight up, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. We’ve got a long, painful gap of nothing special ahead. For a spot that’s a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, we’re staring down a whole lot of flat, quiet days. The first ten days or so are basically a write-off for any decent surf. You’ll see a few pulses of energy, but they’re accompanied by onshore or cross-shore winds that just mess it up, or the swell is tiny.
Monday, 24 August kicks off with a bit of a lump. A 10ft WSW swell is rolling in, but it’s getting hammered by a fresh 22 mph cross-on wind from the SW. The combined energy is moderate (1054), but the conditions are poor. The water is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, sitting at 67°. That afternoon, it drops to 8ft from the west, still choppy. Not one for the log.
Tuesday, 25 August sees a glassy morning, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft. It’s a tease. Wednesday, 26 August offers a bit more size – 4ft to 4ft – but with a short, weak period (5-6 seconds) and stormy winds. The energy is low (70-137). Not worth suiting up.
From Thursday, 27 August all the way through to Monday, 7 September, the pattern is the same: tiny to no swell, with clean offshore winds at times. The surf is poor. It’s a long, flat spell.
Then, finally, a glimmer. On Monday afternoon, 7 September, we get a pulse of real energy. A 4ft swell from the west-northwest with a 23-second period – that’s a very long-period groundswell. The combined energy spikes to 1277 (strong), and the wind is light and clean. The forecast indicates very good surf conditions. This is the standout window. For a point break like Sao Pedro, that long period energy is a gift. It’ll wrap in nicely, offering clean, lined-up waves. The size is mellow enough for intermediates, but that power will be there for the taking. This is the one to circle on the calendar. After that, it looks like it fades again.
Honestly, for most of this forecast, you’re better off doing something else. But that Monday afternoon on the 7th? If you can get in the water, you’ll be smiling.

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.
