The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got on the cards for São Pedro.

First things first, this is a tough stretch. Looking at this 16-day window, the news isn't great for paddle surfers. We’re looking at a long, long gap of flat or near-flat conditions. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until we get deep into the second week, and even then, it’s a real struggle.

Right now, into the end of August and the first few days of September, the swell is tiny, mostly around 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the south and southwest. The combined energy is barely registering, with figures like 2 to 46 (weak energy). There's a flicker of life on Wednesday the 2nd of September morning where the energy jumps to 46, but with the swell still at a puny 0.7ft from the SSW and a period of 15 seconds, it's just not enough to break properly. The wind is often cross-off from the north, which is good for cleanliness, but there's simply no wave to ride. This spot, São Pedro, is a point break that is sheltered and rarely breaks anyway, so this blank run is pretty normal for the area.

The situation stays grim right through the first week of September. We get some glassy mornings on the 3rd and 4th, but with zero swell and a combined energy of 0 or 20 (weak energy), you’d just be floating. This dry spell continues all the way to the 10th of September.

Finally, on Thursday the 10th of September, there's a tiny pulse. The forecast shows a 1ft swell from the SW with a short, weak period of 3 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 2 (weak energy). The wind is onshore from the south at 15 mph, making it choppy. It’s a poor surf condition. The next day, Friday the 11th of September, is the most significant event in the whole window. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the west with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits a moderate 65 (moderate wave energy). But here's the catch: the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the WSW at 19 mph, making it lumpy. It’s just not clean, and for a sheltered point break that needs a specific swell direction, this west swell is not what it's built for.

To be honest, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the 11th. There's just no standout, decent surf in this entire 16-day outlook. We'll have to wait for the next forecast to see if things improve.

Rusty out.

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.
