The Lowdown
G’day wave hunters, Rusty here. Look, I’ve scanned the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for our little corner of the coast. The honest truth is there’s not a single day in this 16-day window that’s worth paddling out for. No surf to speak of. The swell windows are just about closed, and what little energy is out there is barely registering. From now, August 13th, all the way through to August 28th, you’re looking at swell heights of 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft with combined wave energy that barely climbs above a whisper – the highest we see is just 26 (on a scale that goes to thousands). It’s flat, or as close to flat as makes no difference. Water temp is sitting at 70°, which is about 1° warmer than normal for this time of year – not a big deal, but still a touch mild.
Now, for a spot like Sao Pedro, a sheltered point that rarely breaks, this kind of blank run is more normal than a surprise. It’s a half-reef, half-sand setup with a SW optimum, but the offshore wind (NNE) is working against the tiny scraps of swell from the south. A few mornings look glassy – like August 17th – but with nothing underneath you, glass is just a mirror. The wind does go clean a fair bit, but you need a wave to ride. I’ve got to call it: zero recommendations. For any proper surfing, the answer is a firm no. If this was a beach setup with these strong cross-off winds, I’d be telling the kite surfers to have a look, but here it’s just a disappointment. Sometimes the forecasts shift, and it tends not to stay this quiet forever, but for now, don’t waste the petrol.

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.
