Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the cards for our little slice of the Atlantic.
To be straight up with you, the next 16 days are looking like a flat spell for Sao Pedro. We've got a whole lotta nothin' on the menu. The swell energy readings are tiny, never cracking the hundred mark, and most of the time they're sitting at a measly combined energy of 2 or 5, with plenty of days at zero. It’s a proper desert out there.
The first day we see anything at all is Thursday, July 3rd, but that’s just a 0.3ft south swell with a long 16-second period. Interesting to note the long period, but without any size, it's just a ripple. The wind is messy with a cross-shore chop, so it's a hard pass. This same story rolls on day after day. We get a few mornings with 0.3ft to 0.7ft and some clean, cross-offshore winds – like Saturday afternoon, July 5th, with glassy conditions. Sounds great, but that combined energy of 0 tells you there’s no wave to surf. It’s like having a perfect, empty canvas with no paint.
We do get a tiny spike on Saturday, July 11th, with the swell bumping up to 2ft from the west. The combined energy is 18, which is pretty much the peak of the whole forecast. Light winds from the NW would make it clean, but 2ft with a short 6-second period is just not gonna break properly at a point break like Sao Pedro. The next day, Sunday the 12th, shows the highest combined energy of the whole run at 23, but it's accompanied by a cross-onshore wind from the WSW that's gonna chop it up.
The bottom line is: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Every single record says "poor surf conditions" with a score of 0. That’s the reality. For a sheltered spot like Sao Pedro that *rarely breaks*, a run like this isn't unusual. It's a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, don't bother waxing your board. Leave it in the car, hope for a change, and I'll let you know if things look up.

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.
