The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a long, quiet run with flat spells and only tiny, weak pulses of swell. The first real surfable day is a long way off, and even then it’s nothing to write home about. We’re looking at over a week of nothing until things maybe, just maybe, start to show a little life.
The first solid suggestion comes in on Thursday the 20th of August. The wind is a bit messy, coming from the SSE as a cross-onshore, but we might see a small bump from the SW at 2 ft. The period is short, only 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit fat and weak. The combined energy is low (52 on the Saturday afternoon), so it’s really just a knee-high dribble. It’s not great, but it’s something.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Friday the 21st of August. The wind swings around to the NNW, which is a cross-offshore breeze for Sao Pedro, cleaning things right up. The swell is still tiny, 2 ft to 3 ft, with that same short 6-second period, so the wave quality is going to be mushy. The energy is still weak (49 on the Friday afternoon), but with clean conditions and a little bit of push, it might be the best of a very poor bunch. This is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, so any surf is a bonus.
For the rest of the window, the water temp is sitting right around 68°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. Nothing unusual there.
Honestly, for the first week, there’s nothing even worth paddling out for. The second week doesn’t get much better. With such small, weak swell and breezy conditions, if you’re looking for a thrill, this setup might actually be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Stay patient, folks. It’s a quiet spell.
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.
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.
