The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the 16-day stretch ahead for the São Pedro region. I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole period is a real struggle, with next to nothing in the way of rideable surf. We’ve got a long gap of flat, poor conditions stretching from now, through the first week, and well into the second. The forecast is a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the conditions line up this way.

Starting on Sunday the 23rd of August, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a weak, messy swell at 4 ft from the SSW, but with a short period of 6 seconds, the energy is only 118 – barely a pulse. The wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the SSE at 35 km/h, just tearing it up. It’s lumpy, choppy, and not worth a second look. That theme of poor surf, with scores of 0 out of 10, carries right through the entire week. The swell tries to pick up a little on Monday the 24th, hitting 8 ft from the WSW, but the period is still short at 8 seconds, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s just a messy, blown-out wall of water. The energy jumps to 686 (moderate), but with that wind, it’s useless for a paddle.

We then hit a massive flat spell. From Tuesday the 25th through to Thursday the 3rd of September, the swell drops to almost nothing – 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft most days, with energy readings in the single digits or low tens. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year. The winds do turn clean, with some glassy periods on Tuesday morning the 25th and a few offshore and cross-offshore days, but there’s no wave to ride. It’s a cruel tease of good conditions on a flat ocean.

The best we can see, and I’m using that word loosely, is a very late window. On Sunday the 6th of September, the wind stays clean from the N and NNW, but we only get a tiny 2 ft swell from the W with a very long period of 24 seconds. The energy is moderate at 274. That long period means it’ll be a groundswell, which is good for shape, but at 2 ft, it’s barely a ripple. The point break at São Pedro (São Pedro) needs a lot more than that to get going. The optimum swell direction is SW, and this is from the W, so it’s not even hitting the right angle. The break is already described as rarely breaking, so this is a long shot.

Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there is no standout. There is no good surf. The first week is a total loss, and the second week is a flat, clean, empty ocean. The only thing that looks remotely interesting would be the wind on the 6th if you had a kite, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.

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.
