The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the next 16 days and honestly, it’s a flat spell. There’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the whole stretch is a write-off for surf.
Sao Pedro (a point break) is a beginner-friendly spot that rarely breaks, and this run is a perfect example of why. From Wednesday the 15th all the way through to the end of the month, it’s all poor surf conditions. The first solid sign of anything is a tiny 1ft swell on Friday morning the 17th, but that’s just a 6-second windswell from the WSW with combined energy of only 6 – absolutely no grunt. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
The best of a bad bunch comes on Monday the 27th afternoon, when we see a 2ft W swell with a 6-second period and combined energy of 26. It’s still weak, and the wind is cross-offshore from the NNW, keeping it clean. But let’s be real – that’s not a surfable wave. A long 19-second pulse from the SW on Saturday the 18th afternoon stands out with combined energy of 15, but the swell height is only 0.3ft. That’s a ghost.
There’s a 14-day gap with no surf worth mentioning. The spot is sheltered and rarely breaks, so this kind of blank run is normal for the area. Nothing to get excited about. Forecasts change, but right now, leave the board at home.

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.
