Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sao Pedro over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast for the next 16 days is almost a total write-off. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, weak conditions with no real swell on the cards. The first surf recommendation doesn't even kick in until the end of the period, so we've got a big gap of nothing to work through.
Sao Pedro is a point break that rarely breaks at the best of times, and looking at the numbers, it's got barely a pulse. The only session that even registers is on Sunday morning, July 12th, when a tiny 2ft swell from the west rolls in with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is a weak 78, and the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, making for a choppy, messy surface. The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year. Honestly, it's not a session you'd paddle out for.
After that, it's a flat spell from Monday, July 13th, right through to Wednesday, July 23rd. The swell is practically non-existent, with most days showing 0.3ft to 1ft of slop and a lot of zero energy readings. The wind is mostly cross-off from the north, but there's no power in the water to make use of it. Even the longer period energy we see on the 19th and 23rd – from the SW with periods around 18 seconds – is too small and too weak to push anything through.
This is a classic case of a region that goes quiet. There's nothing here to get excited about for the next two weeks. The blank run is normal for this area when the swell window closes. Keep your eyes on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor forever.
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.
