Alright folks, Rusty here, and we’ve gotta be honest right off the bat – the next two weeks at this stretch of coast are looking about as flat as a Monday morning parking lot. There’s a massive gap of no real surf to start, and we won’t be getting a wave worth paddling for until the very end of the outlook.
The whole 16-day run is plagued by tiny, weak swell. The only real pulse of energy that registers at all comes right at the tail end, but even then, it’s a whisper. Water temps are sitting at a warm 70°F, running about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, if you were wondering.
For the first week and a half, from July 6th through to July 19th, it’s pretty much a dead zone. Swell heights are stuck at 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with the combined energy barely ticking over – the highest reading we see in that whole stretch is a weak 46 (weak energy). Winds are mostly cross-off or cross, which would be nice if there was any swell to work with, but there isn’t. Even the so-called "long period" groundswells we see, with periods over 15 seconds, just don’t have any height behind them. Nothing to ride.
It isn’t until Monday, July 20th, that we see the faintest glimmer of life. The combined energy creeps up to 26 (still weak) on Monday afternoon, with a 0.3ft SW groundswell at a 16-second period. That’s not enough to surf. Then on Tuesday, July 21st – that’s the only day in the whole outlook with a pulse worth a mention. Tuesday morning sees the swell tick up to 0.3ft from the SW with a 14-second period, and the combined energy hits 16 (weak). Again, size is all wrong.
So where does that leave Sao Pedro? This is a sheltered point break that "rarely breaks" anyway, and over these 16 days, it’s hardly showing any sign of life. The swell is far too small for beginners (needs more than 0.3ft) and there’s nothing for anyone else. It’s a total blank run. To be fair, for a spot that rarely breaks, a flat forecast like this isn't a huge surprise – it’s more normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath on this one, mates. Forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing on the table.
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.
