Sao Pedro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’m looking at the whole 16-day window here, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a quiet stretch for São Pedro (Sao-Pedro-1). This is a sheltered point break that’s good for beginners, but it rarely breaks, and honestly, there’s almost nothing to get excited about. The water’s sitting at 70°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The whole period kicks off with tiny, weak swell. Tuesday morning the 11th has a pathetic 1ft from the west with a 6-second period—combined energy is just 5, so it’s basically flat. The wind is cross-off from the north at 9 mph, but with that little juice, it’s not worth paddling out. After that, it gets even worse. From Wednesday the 12th right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at 0.3ft to 0.7ft swells, mostly from the south or southwest, with periods mostly between 12 and 18 seconds. The combined energy figures are all in the single digits or low teens, maxing out at 40, so the energy is weak to barely moderate. There’s a bit of a window on Sunday the 16th morning when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is still 0.3ft, so it’s just flat and clean.

The wind throughout is mostly cross-off from the north or NNW, often fresh or moderate breeze, with a few pockets of light offshore or glassy conditions, but none of it matters when there’s no swell. By the time we hit the 24th and 25th, we get a few periods of offshore wind, but again, the swell is 0.3ft with period around 12-13 seconds and energy in the single digits. It’s a dead zone.

Honestly, this is a classic case of a blank run for the area. The point rarely breaks, and when it does, it needs a better swell direction and more size. For now, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if anything. No standouts to pick—there’s nothing on offer. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, keep your expectations low.
