The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with ya. Looking ahead for the next 16 days, from late August into mid-September, it’s a flat spell. Every single report says “poor surf conditions.” There’s nothing out here worth paddling for.
Friday, August 28 starts off glassy with a tiny south swell of about 0.3ft, period around 11 seconds, and a weak combined energy reading of 2. Barely a bump. Winds are light offshore from the north, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Saturday and Sunday stay small, 0.3ft swells from the south or west, with cross-offshore winds. Energy tops out at 3. Monday and Tuesday, August 31 and September 1, see a slight bump to 0.7ft from the south-southwest, with a long period of 15-16 seconds. Energy gets up to 23, and Wednesday morning even hits 46 with an offshore wind. But that’s still only 0.7ft – not enough to ride, even with the long period.
From there it’s flat or tiny. September 11 offers the biggest numbers: a west swell of 0.7ft to 1ft, with a 20-second period, pushing energy to 70. That’s the best we get, but 1ft with that kind of period won’t produce anything rideable. Winds are cross-offshore.
September 12 fades back to 0.3ft to 0.7ft west swell with a short 9-second period and energy of 6.
The standout? There isn’t one. Not a single session I’d recommend. Sao Pedro is a point break that rarely breaks, and this forecast shows why. With an optimum swell from the southwest and north-northeast offshore, but most swells coming from the south and west, the direction’s just wrong. Water temperature sits around 68°F, which is average for this time of year.
No surf this run. Stick around for the next proper swell.

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.
