The Lowdown

Alright, I’m gonna level with you, mate. This is a tough one to call.

Right now, we’re looking at a long stretch of very small, unexciting surf. For the first several days, there’s just nothing doing. We’re talking about a period from now through the end of July and into the start of August where the swell is tiny, if it’s there at all. The energy readings are almost all in the weak range, with the combined energy of all swells directed here often sitting at single digits, like 4, 7, or 12, and sometimes hitting zero. For a sheltered little point break like São Pedro, it’s just not enough to get anything going.

São Pedro, a point break that rarely breaks, is the only game in town, and it’s a quiet one. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about 1° above normal, so nothing crazy there, just your average winter water for the time of year.

The wind is mostly a cross-off from the NNW or NW, blowing at 9 to 22 mph. That’s a clean wind direction for this spot, but without any real swell to work with, it’s like having a Ferrari with no fuel. There’s a morning or two (like the 29th and 30th of July) where we get a proper offshore wind from the N, blowing at 9 to 16 mph, which would be glassy perfection if there was a wave. But there isn’t. The swell is just a whisper, sometimes 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft from the SW or W, with periods that are all over the place – from a short 7 seconds up to a very long 19 seconds. That long period groundswell would be a dream at a point break, but it’s just too small to do anything.

As we creep into the first couple of days of August, the pattern stays the same. We get a tiny 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft pulse from the W on the 1st and 2nd, with 7 to 8 second period – that’s short-period windswell, weak and messy. The energy readings are still in the basement, at 1 or 5.

Honestly, if you’re looking for a proper paddle session, this 16-day window is a write-off. The swell is too small, the break is inconsistent, and the energy is basically non-existent. For a sheltered spot like this, a blank run like this is more normal than you’d hope. It’s the kind of setup that looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the clean cross-off winds and flat water.

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.
