The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Sao Pedro.

This is a tough one to call. The forecast basically shows a long stretch of nothing rideable for the next 16 days. We're looking at a solid period of flat, small, or just plain messy conditions. The only surfable break on the list is Sao Pedro, and it's a point break that only rarely breaks, so this is a spot that needs very specific conditions. The water temperature is sitting at 68°F, which is about 1°F cooler than average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The first time we see even a half-decent swell is on Wednesday, the 26th of August, with a 5ft swell from the west. But the wind is howling at 16 mph from the west, putting it straight cross-on. The combined wave energy is moderate at 217, but the quality is just poor – it's a choppy, cross-onshore mess. Not one for paddling out.

After that, it's a total washout. From Thursday the 27th all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 10th of September, the swell drops to a measly 0.3ft or less. The combined energy readings are in the single digits or low teens at best, which is very weak. There are some glassy mornings on the 28th of August, the 6th and 7th of September, and a few offshore wind windows on the 31st of August and the 4th of September, but with no swell to push, it's all just flat and clean. It's a frustrating pattern. The wind directions are often clean, like glassy or offshore, but the ocean just has nothing to offer.

For a beginner-friendly point break like this, which is also sheltered and often crowded, the lack of any consistent swell is the real killer. The only time the swell gets above the ankle-biter mark is that one afternoon on the 26th, and it's blown out. There's really not a single standout session to recommend here. For a spot that rarely breaks, you need everything to line up, and nothing is lining up in this 16-day window.

Rusty.

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.
