The Lowdown
Alright, it’s a flat spell for a while. Let’s look at what we’ve got.
Starting out at Sao Pedro (point break) – there’s nothing really rideable. Wave energy is barely a whisper, with combined energy figures like 2 – that’s weak. Tiny 0.1m to 0.3ft swells. The wind’s mostly cross-off or glassy, so conditions are clean, but without any swell, it’s just a glassy lake. Water is 68°, about average for this time of year.
Through late August into early September, the pattern holds flat. From Friday 28 August right through to around Monday 7 September, the best you’ll see is 1ft on a 4-second period – that’s windswell with no push, and combined energy barely reaches double digits (at best 33). Wind stays clean, but it’s like waiting for a wave that never comes. Wednesday 2 September morning has light offshore wind from the N at 12 mph, but still only 0.7ft of SSW swell – not enough.
Things start rumbling from Monday 7 September. Monday morning has 1ft at 4 seconds from the S (short period junk), but by Tuesday 8 September afternoon we see 3ft from the WSW with a 6-second period and combined energy jumping to 47. The wind is cross-off and clean at 19 mph. Still small, but energy is climbing.
Then Wednesday 9 September morning brings 2ft at 6 seconds from the WSW, combined energy at 36, and offshore wind from the N at 12 mph. That’s the most promising window – still small for experienced surfers, but for a sheltered point like Sao Pedro, it could be a fun little session. Crowds are often around, so expect company.
There’s a long gap of almost no surf from Friday 28 August to Monday 7 September – about a week of flatness. No standout days, but Wednesday 9 September morning is the best bet. After that, the swell fades again with nothing of note.
All in all, a quiet patch, but it’s normal here. Forecasts can change.

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.
