The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is one of those stretches where Mother Nature just isn't cooperating. Looking at the 16-day window starting now, we've got a long, frustrating gap of flatness and tiny, messy dribble. There's nothing really rideable for days on end. Let's break down the sorry state of affairs.
We'll kick things off with Sao Pedro. This spot is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and unfortunately, this forecast does it no favours. For the first week, from Thursday the 23rd of July right through to Wednesday the 29th, we're looking at knee-high dribble at best. Tiny swell from the WNW and S, with periods all over the shop. The energy is pitiful, barely registering in single digits (8). The winds are mostly cross-off from the NW or NNW, which would normally be a positive, but with no swell to work with, it's just a glassy pond. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that doesn't help the surf.
Then we hit a proper dead zone. From Thursday the 30th of July all the way through the first week of August, it's a complete blank. Zero energy, flat as a pancake. For a spot that is already inconsistent, this kind of dry spell is rough. It's not until Monday the 3rd of August that we see a tiny flicker of life, with a 0.3ft swell and a very long 15 second period from the south. But again, the energy is barely there (8), and the wind picks up to a moderate breeze. It's clean, but there's simply no push.
Honestly, for the entire 16 days, there isn't a single standout or a session worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy peaks at a pathetic 10 (ten), which tells you everything. If you're desperate for salt water, maybe bring a kite, because a beach setup with this much wind and no wave power would be more interesting for that. Otherwise, save your wax. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, this is a full-on write-off.

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.
