The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here. Let me tell you, if you’re looking for some waves at Sao Pedro, you’re in for a tough stretch. This is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and the outlook over the next two weeks is pretty much flat. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
We’re looking at a big gap of poor surf conditions from Wednesday, July 29th, all the way through. There’s virtually no swell energy to speak of, with the combined energy of all swells directed here barely hitting double digits (3) on the Wednesday morning, and that’s the best it gets for a while. The wind is mostly cross-off from the NNW, but with no waves, it doesn’t matter.
Even towards the end of the week, on Friday, August 1st, we see a tiny bump of 2ft from the west, but that’s a weak windswell with a short period of 9 seconds and moderate energy (71). It’s still not enough to get excited about, and the wind is still cross-off. The forecast is consistently poor, with no real windows of opportunity.
The only glimmer, if you can call it that, comes on Monday, August 5th, where we get a 1ft swell from the west with a 10-second period and a light breeze. But the energy is still weak (31), and it’s still a long way from being rideable. After that, it’s back to flat, tiny bumps, and cross-off winds.
Honestly, for a spot that rarely breaks, this is a normal blank run. The setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the consistent cross-off winds and very little wave energy. There are no true standouts, no days to really mark on the calendar. The forecast can change, but as it stands, keep the board in the car.
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.
