The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, it’s a tough one. Looking at this 16-day window, the truth is there’s really nothing good to get excited about. The only option on the map is Sao Pedro (Sao-Pedro-1), a sheltered point break that’s best on a SW swell. The problem is, it rarely breaks, and even when it does, it’s barely offering a ripple. For the entire forecast period, the swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.3ft to 1.0ft at best, with combined swell energy barely cracking double digits (max of 21). The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is pretty much average for the time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The first few days from Tuesday the 28th of July through to Friday the 1st of August are a complete write-off. The wind is mostly cross-off from the N or NW, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no push. The swell is either non-existent or so tiny it’s not worth paddling for. There’s a gap of completely flat days from Saturday the 2nd through to Monday the 4th, with zero swell energy.
We do see a tiny bit of life around Wednesday the 5th of August morning, with a 1.0ft W swell, period of 10 seconds, and energy of 18. But it’s still weak, and the wind is a gentle 9 mph from the N. It’s clean, but it’s not surfable for a grown adult. The week after that is just more of the same – tiny waves, moderate to fresh cross-off winds, and a lot of flat spells. By the 10th of August, the wind is howling at 25 mph, and there’s still nothing to ride.
Honestly, this is a classic blank run for the area. If you’re a kitesurfer, those strong NW winds later in the window might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer? It’s a no-go. The forecast can always change, but right now, save your energy and leave the boards at home.
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.
