The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Sao Pedro. I’ve looked at the whole 16-day window, and I’ve got to be honest – it’s a tough stretch. The forecast shows a whole lot of nothing, with a gap of over a week with no real surf to speak of.
Sao Pedro is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast does it no favours. The first real sign of any energy comes around Tuesday, 11th August. The morning brings a tiny 2ft swell from the west with a short period of 7 seconds (combined energy of all swells directed here is just 21). The wind is a clean cross-off from the north, but with that size and period, it’s barely a ripple. The water temperature is sitting around 68°F, which is pretty much average for the time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.
After that, it’s back to the same story – tiny, inconsistent 0.3ft pulses from the south and southwest, with very long periods. For example, by Friday, 14th August, you’ll see a 0.3ft swell from the south with a period of 22 seconds (combined energy of all swells directed here is 10), and the next day a 0.3ft from the southwest at 19 seconds (combined energy of 30). These are very long-period groundswells, which at a point break like Sao Pedro *could* offer a tiny, clean wave if the wind plays ball, but the size is just too small to do anything with. The wind stays clean and cross-off through this period, which is the only positive.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day stretch is a write-off for surfable waves. The forecast is consistent in showing ‘poor surf conditions’ for every single session. For a spot that rarely breaks, a blank run like this is just normal for the area. The swell energy is weaker than weak, and no amount of clean wind can turn 0.3ft into a ride.
Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. This one’s a long shot until the pattern changes. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d find something else to do.
Rusty.

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.
