The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Sao Pedro’s got lined up for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta level with you: the outlook for this spot is pretty grim for a while. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch. This is a spot that rarely breaks, so a blank run isn’t a shocker, but it still stings to see the forecast so flat.
For the first half of August, from Sunday the 2nd right through to around Wednesday the 12th, we’ve got tiny waves and clean but persistent cross-off winds. Real frustrating mix. The swell energy is almost non-existent, barely hitting double digits on the combined energy scale (mostly reading between 0 and 53). It’s just not worth paddling out for the ankle-snappers we’re seeing.
There’s a tiny glimmer on the horizon. On Wednesday afternoon, the 12th, we get a pulse of 2 ft swell from the west with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy wakes up a little to read 42, which is still weak but at least it’s something. The cross-off wind from the northwest will be blowing at about 15 mph. Still, it’s hardly gonna set the world on fire.
After the 12th, it goes completely dead again. We’re looking at a big gap with flat surf right through to the 17th. On the 14th and 15th, we get some glassy mornings with zero wind, but there’s absolutely nothing coming in, so you’d be better off with a paddleboard or a beer.
Overall, it’s a tough run. There’s no standout, no hidden gem this time. The best you can hope for is that Wednesday afternoon, the 12th, if you’re desperate for a few close-outs. But honestly, if you’re looking for a proper wave, maybe give it a miss and wait for the next forecast update – things can change.
Catch ya later,
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.
