The Lowdown
Gather 'round, crew. Rusty here. I've been staring at the charts for this stretch of coast, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a real heartbreaker, with almost no surf to speak of. The first glimmer of anything rideable doesn't show up until the 11th of September, and even then, it's barely a whisper. We're looking at a solid week of flat, mirror-like conditions before that, so don't bother checking the forecast until then.
The only spot that has a pulse is Sao Pedro. It's a creek-mouth point break in the region, and it's a beginner-friendly wave, but it's a challenge to catch it working because it *rarely breaks*. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year, but nothing wild.
There's a tiny blip on Friday the 11th of September. The morning could see a dribble of 1.0ft swell from the west, with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 12 (12), which is basically nothing. The wind is offshore from the north at 12 mph, so the surface will be clean. But honestly, this is a session for a longboard, a prayer, and a whole lot of patience. It's not a standout; it's just the only thing on the menu. The afternoon on the 11th drops to 0.7ft from the west, and the wind goes cross-offshore from the NNW at 16 mph, making the surface tidy but the waves even smaller.
After that, it's back to a dead flat ocean for the rest of the period. The 12th through the 19th of September offer nothing but smooth water and cross-offshore winds. The few ripples that show up on the 17th are a pathetic 0.7ft from the west with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 4 (4). It's not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
In short, fellas, this is a brutal run. It's a blank-out period for this area, which is more normal than not. Don't force it. The ocean is telling us to take a break. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nowhere to go.
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.
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.
