Sao Pedro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Sao Pedro. I’ve looked at the charts and, well, it’s a tough outlook for the next couple of weeks.

First off, Sao Pedro is a point break that *rarely* breaks, so we’re already fighting an uphill battle. The forecast shows a lot of flat days or just tiny little waves that won’t get you out of first gear. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

For the first week, from Sunday the 19th right through the end of July, it’s basically a write-off. We’re looking at tiny swell heights – mostly 0.3 ft to 1 ft – with cross-off winds from the NNW and NW at 9-19 mph. The combined swell energy is low, almost always in the single digits (2-21 range). The swell that does show up is a mix of short period (5-8 seconds) and long period (13-18 seconds) stuff, but it’s just not enough to do anything with. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” for every single session. There’s nothing to get excited about here.

There’s a major gap. From the 21st of July through the 31st of July, there are multiple days with zero swell energy (0 combined energy). The only slight glimmer is on the 28th of July morning, when we get a bit of offshore wind from the NNE at just 3 mph, and a tiny 0.7 ft, 13-second period W swell. The wind is light and clean, but with only 13 combined energy, it’s not going to produce a wave you can really ride. It’s still classed as “poor surf conditions.”

Then we roll into the start of August. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd are more of the same: tiny swell (0.3 ft to 1 ft), poor period (4-11 seconds), and NNW winds at 12-19 mph. The combined energy on the 1st morning is 22, which is still weak, and it drops back to single digits afterward. Again, every session is “poor surf conditions.”

Honestly, there is no standout session in this entire 16-day window. The break is rarely breaking, and when it does, it’s too small and messy to surf. The best you could hope for is a knee-high dribble on the 28th morning with calm wind, but I wouldn’t paddle out for it. This is a true blank run for the area – it happens.
