The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one to write. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about.
Right now, Sao Pedro barely has a whisper of swell. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a mere 20, which is incredibly weak. You'd be lucky to find a wave over 0.7 ft, and even then, it's coming from the SSW with a long period of 14 seconds. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit is all you'll need if you're just going for a paddle.
The pattern stays the same through the end of August. The swell is tiny, mostly 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft, the energy stays in the low teens and twenties, and the wind is a constant cross-off from the NW. It's clean, sure, but there's just no power. The period stays long, which for a point break like this isn't ideal – it'll be a bit fat and gutless. The crowds are a non-issue, but more because there's nothing to ride.
We hit September, and still nothing changes. The first few days of the month are the same story: tiny, weak SSW swell, cross-off winds, and energy readings barely cracking 20. On the 3rd of September, we get a glimmer of hope with a glassy morning – the wind is almost nothing, WNW at 3 mph, and the sea is flat. But with 0.3 ft of SW swell, it's a day for a flat paddle.
So, the honest truth? There's nothing on offer. If you're a kite surfer, maybe the consistent cross-off winds could be fun, but for paddle surfing, it's a blank run. The breaks are rarely breaking here, and this is just a normal quiet period for the area. Don't chuck your board in the bin just yet, but definitely don't plan a trip around this forecast. The forecasts can change, but right now, it's a long wait.
Rusty.

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.
