Sao Pedro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a straight look at what’s going on over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be honest with you, it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a real flat spell for the next 16 days, and there’s not a single standout session to get properly excited about. The swell energy is almost non-existent, with values barely creeping into double digits most days, mostly sitting in that weak range (0 to 30). The wind is often offshore or cross-off, which is the one silver lining, but without any swell to work with, it doesn’t mean a thing.

For Sao Pedro, it’s a classic sheltered point, and it needs a decent push from the SW to light up, but the data shows nothing but tiny, weak pulses. On Wednesday afternoon, July 15th, we see a tiny 1ft from the WNW with a short 6-second period and combined energy of just 18. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is about average for the time of year, but the surf is poor.

Through Thursday, July 16th, and Friday, July 17th, it’s the same story – 1ft or less, periods under 6 seconds, and energy readings in the single digits. By Saturday, July 18th, there’s a brief moment with a 13-second period on the morning, but it’s only 0.3ft of swell, so it doesn't give you anything to ride.

The whole run is a washout. There’s a slight bump on Saturday, July 25th, with a 1ft swell from the W at 13 seconds and energy hitting 30, but the wind is cross-shore and choppy, and it’s still just a tiny wave. For the rest of the month, all you’re getting is zero swell and clean wind – great for a tan, not for a surf.

So, to put it bluntly: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. This spot rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run like this isn’t unusual for the area. Keep an eye on the charts, because it can’t stay this small forever, but for now, leave the board at home.

Rusty.
