The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look pretty grim for a paddle. Let's get into it.
The outlook for the entire 16-day window is a real bummer. We've got a long stretch of nothing, with the first real surf option not showing up until September 10th. From now until then, it's a flat spell with barely a ripple. The combined swell energy is a measly 2 or 3 (74 to 181 in the early days, but that's just messy windswell), and the rare tiny pulses are all under 0.7 ft. It's not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
The one and only standout is on Thursday, September 10th. Sao Pedro (a point break) finally gets a pulse of life. We're looking at a 2 ft swell from the W with a period of 15 seconds. That's a long-period groundswell, which is a good sign for a point break like this, as it'll wrap in and line up nicely. The combined energy is a moderate 107, and with glassy conditions in the morning, it's the cleanest the place will look in a fortnight. It's a rare break anyway, so don't expect it to fire all the time, but this is your window. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
For the rest of the run, there's nothing on offer. A few days have clean, offshore winds, but with zero swell, it's a complete waste. If you're desperate, the setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, but honestly, there's no juice.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but this one looks locked in flat.
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.
