The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's talk about the outlook for Sao Pedro. Gotta be honest, it's a quiet stretch ahead. This spot rarely breaks, so we need everything to come together, and for the bulk of this forecast, it just ain't happening.
We're staring down a long, flat spell. From Tuesday, August 25th, right through to the morning of Monday, September 7th, it's either tiny or messy. There are a few days with clean offshore wind, like the 28th and 29th, but the swell is gone – barely 0.3 ft. The swell energy is basically nothing. It's a waiting game.
The one real highlight shows up on Monday, September 7th. That morning is your best bet. Sao Pedro is a sheltered point that lights up on a SW swell, and we've got a 3 ft groundswell from the WSW, with a solid 14-second period. The combined swell energy hits a moderate 258, so there's some decent power. Plus, we've got a light offshore breeze from the N, which will keep things clean. The water temp is about average for the season, so a 3/2mm wetsuit is the call.
It doesn't last long. The afternoon of the 7th sees the swell bump up to 3 ft, but the wind goes cross-off and it's not as tidy. Then from the 8th of September, it's back to nothing. It's a short window, but that Monday morning session is worth circling on the calendar.

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.
