The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window that’s about as flat as a millpond. There’s no surfable swell on offer to kick things off, and the pattern stays stubbornly quiet for a long stretch.
The first sign of anything at all comes Monday, July 27th, but it’s barely a whisper. The only break on the radar is Sao Pedro (Sao Pedro). This is a sheltered point break, and it “rarely breaks,” so straight away you know the bar is low. The wind is light and offshore from the North at 3 mph on Monday morning, keeping things tidy, but the combined energy of all swells is a measly 8 – weak. No swell height or direction is even recorded. Monday afternoon sees a tiny 1 ft swell from the WNW, but with a short period of 5 seconds and cross-shore wind at 9 mph, it’s not worth paddling out for.
Tuesday the 28th through Thursday the 30th of July are all flat or near-flat, with combined energy values scraping 0 or 3. The wind is mostly cross-offshore, but there’s simply no push. Friday the 31st of July brings a little 0.7 ft swell from the West with a 12-second period, giving a combined energy of 11, but the wind is up to 16 mph from the NNW. It’s crossed-off and messy for the size.
The first week of August doesn’t offer any salvation. Saturday the 1st of August shows a tiny 1 ft swell from the West with a short 8-second period, combined energy of 18, but the wind is offshore in the morning at 3 mph from the North. Still, 1 ft is barely a ripple. The rest of the first week and into the second week, from Sunday the 2nd of August right through to Tuesday the 11th of August, the story is the same: weak, inconsistent pulses of 0.3 ft to 1 ft swell, mostly from the South or West, with periods ranging from 6 to 13 seconds, and combined energy never breaking 30. The wind is persistent cross-offshore from the North or NNW, often blowing 12 to 25 mph, which is a fresh breeze.
There is no standout. There is no best day. The swell is too small, too inconsistent, and the wind is too strong for the minimal energy present. For a break that rarely breaks, this is a blank run. The overall energy is so low that the water temperature anomaly isn’t even relevant – you’d be floating in a bathtub. If you’re desperate for a paddle, Monday morning July 27th with the glassy offshore might be the least ugly hour, but don’t expect a wave.
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.
