The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead for Sao Pedro. This is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and the next 16 days look almost completely flat. We’re talking about a long, quiet run with nothing rideable on offer. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of dead spell isn’t a huge surprise, but it’s still a bummer.
We kick off on Tuesday the 15th with nothing. Wednesday, Thursday, all week—just tiny dribbles of 0.3ft swell with next to no energy in the water (combined energy values mostly single-digit to low double-digits, like 3 or 8). The wind is mostly cross-off or offshore, so the water would be clean, but there’s simply no wave to ride. A few mornings like Friday the 18th show a light NNE offshore and 0.3ft swell, but it’s barely a ripple.
Even the afternoons later in the run, like Sunday the 27th, bring a hint of 0.3ft from the SW with a period around 12 seconds and decent energy (11), but we’re still well below the threshold for a proper surf. The best we see is Monday the 28th morning with a 2ft swell from the SSW—that’s the biggest bump of the whole outlook—but it’s a short, choppy period of only 4 seconds, so no shape or power. The water temp anomaly isn’t mentioned for the first break, but conditions are otherwise clean.
There is no standout here. Not a single day offers anything worth paddling out for. If the swell ever did show, those NNE offshore mornings would be clean, but it just doesn’t happen. For now, it’s a total write-off. Sometimes it goes like this. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off finding something else to do.

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.
