The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the 16-day window looks like a desert. There’s simply nothing happening for the entire period. We’re staring at a long stretch of days with no decent surf to speak of. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until well into the run, and even then it’s barely a ripple.
The only break on the radar is Sao Pedro, a beginner-friendly point that rarely breaks. It’s sheltered and needs a swell from the SW to wake up, but the problem is, the swell just isn’t there. The water temperature is sitting around 69°F with a normal anomaly for this time of year, so at least the water’s fine for a float, not a surf.
From Friday 7th August all the way through to Saturday 22nd August, the combined energy of all swells directed here is consistently weak, never breaking into three digits, mostly sitting at just 3 to 30 (measured in the low numbers). The wave heights are barely a wobble, peaking at a pathetic 0.7ft from the SSW on a few days. That’s with a long period of 15 to 18 seconds on the SW and SSW swells, which would normally mean some nice groundswell shape, but there’s just no height to work with.
The wind is often cross-off or light, and on the morning of Friday 21st August it’s even glassy, but with only 0.7ft of swell, it’s a flat spell you could water-ski on. The best you’ll get is a small, clean, knee-high dribble. For a point that rarely breaks, this is a typical blank run for the area. It’s not a place that fires often, and this forecast is a solid example of that.
There’s nothing to get excited about. No standout. No one to call. It’s just a flat, quiet stretch.
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.
