The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase. The next couple of weeks are looking flat, flat, flat. We're talking a proper drought here.
For the first block, right up until the 10th of September, there is absolutely nothing. The swell energy is at zero for the first few days, and even when it pops up on Thursday and Friday, it's a weak 10 and 6. The wind is a cross-off, which would be nice, but there's nothing for it to blow on. Water temp is right on the money at 69°F. It's clean, but it's also empty.
We're looking at a solid gap of almost a week with no surf at all. Then, starting the 13th of September, some tiny little south swells with long periods start to show up. We're talking ankle-high at 12 seconds, and the energy is pathetic – just 3 on the scale. That’s not even a pulse.
The only spot that might get a look is Sao Pedro. This is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and this forecast is a perfect example why. There are a few small windows where it could be fun if you're bored. The morning of the 14th of September has a tiny 0.1m south swell at 11 seconds, with a slight offshore breeze, making it glassy. For a spot that's this inconsistent, that's a rare opportunity.
There are other moments, like the glassy morning on the 19th, but all of this is micro-surf.
If I had to pick the best of a bad lot, it would be the mornings of the 20th and 21st of September. The morning of the 21st is glassy with a 0.1m south-west swell at 16 seconds. The energy is still weak at 13, but that super long period gives it a chance to wrap around the point better. Sao Pedro being a point is the right shape for this kind of groundswell. It’s not a day to learn, but for a longboarder who wants a clean, empty, glassy session, this is the one.
The rest of the second week is the same story: tiny pulses and weak energy. Mornings mostly have offshore or cross-off winds, which is nice, but it's all style and no substance.
Bottom line: this is a blank run. Sao Pedro rarely breaks, and this forecast shows why. It's going to be a tough stretch. Keep the wax on the board, don't get too down, forecasts can change, and it won't stay poor forever.
Rusty out.

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.
