The Lowdown
Alright crew, grab a coffee, because I’ve got to be straight with you – this one’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a 16-day window for Sao Pedro, and honestly, it’s a pretty quiet one.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a gap: from now until the 22nd of July, there’s just nothing to write home about. The first real chance we see is on Wednesday morning the 22nd, but it’s tiny. We’re talking a 1ft swell from the west, with a short period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 8. It’s a point break that rarely breaks, so this is a classic case of “maybe if you squint”. The wind is a light cross-offshore, which would keep it clean, but with that little energy, it’s not worth paddling out for. The whole first week is a write-off; we’ve got a few tiny pulses of 0.3ft south swell with long periods (11-16 seconds), but the energy is just too low (2-10). It’s clean, but it’s like trying to ride a ripple.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From the 27th of July right through to the 6th of August, we’re seeing the same story: small, weak south swells, mostly 0.3ft, with some very long periods (12-16 seconds). The combined energy barely cracks double digits, peaking at 6 on the 4th of August. The wind is usually cross-offshore or offshore, keeping the surface glassy, but there’s simply no wave to work with. This is a sheltered spot, and it’s just not catching any proper swell.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best we can say is that if you’re desperate for a paddle on a flat day, the water is going to be clean. But for actual surfing? This is a blank run. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is more normal than not. It’s not a good outlook, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
