The Lowdown
Alright mate, let me break down what we’re looking at for Sao Pedro over the next 16 days.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. This is one of those periods where the ocean just doesn’t want to cooperate. Sao Pedro is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast is about as flat as a pancake. From now right through to the 9th of September, there’s virtually no surf to speak of. Swell heights barely touch 0.3ft to 0.7ft, and the combined swell energy is weak – values like 6, 8, 14, or 23 – just not enough to get anything going here.
There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 26th of August where a 4ft swell shows up from the WSW, but it’s a short-period 5-second wind swell, and the wind is howling onshore from the southwest at 19 mph with a risk of thunderstorms. That’s a total mess. The afternoon bumps up to 5ft and 6 seconds, but again, it’s choppy and cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out.
After that, it’s all tiny signals and clean winds – plenty of offshore and cross-offshore breezes from the north and northwest, especially from the 28th of August onwards – but with absolutely no swell to work with, it’s just a flat, clean lake. The water temperature is around 68°, which is about normal for this time of year.
This is a classic blank run for Sao Pedro. It needs a proper SW groundswell to light up, and it’s just not coming in this window. If you’re keen for a wave, you’ll have to wait for the next system. Till then, it’s a no-go.

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.
