The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down for you in feet and miles per hour. The story is still flat, no way around it.
The only spot in the picture is Sao Pedro, a south-west facing point that’s good for beginners. Problem is, it *rarely breaks*, and this forecast proves why. From August 14th all the way through to August 29th, we’ve got next to nothing. Wave heights are stuck at around 0.3 ft to 1 ft. The combined wave energy stays in the weak range, with the highest reading at 40 on the 22nd of August – still way too low to make anything happen.
There are some nice glassy moments, like the morning of Monday the 17th of August with a light east wind, and Thursday the 27th of August with a light west cross-off breeze. But you can have the cleanest water in the world – if there’s no swell to push it, you’re just floating. The swell direction keeps swinging between south and west, but the period is often quite long (12 to 18 seconds), which for a sheltered point is actually a bad sign – it means the little energy there is gets directed away or just doesn’t wrap in properly.
On Saturday the 22nd of August morning, we get 0.7 ft from the south-southwest with a cross-off north wind (35 mph). That’s the peak, but the energy (40) is still flat out weak. There are no decent days, no standouts. This whole stretch is a gap. For a spot that already needs a perfect alignment to work, this is extremely typical. We just sit tight.

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.
