The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, looking at this 16-day window for the region, it’s a real battle. We’ve got a spot called Sao Pedro, a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and across the whole period there is simply no surf to get excited about.

For the first few days, from Sunday the 13th through to the end of September, the wave energy is basically non-existent. We’re talking combined swell energy values less than 20, with most days showing zero swell energy (0). The swell heights are tiny – we're looking at 0.3ft at best. The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is about 4° colder than normal for this time of year, so it’s a bit nippy.

Now, Sao Pedro is a sheltered point and it needs a good SW swell to work, which is its optimum direction. While there are some clean, offshore mornings – like Thursday 17th and Friday 18th with northerly winds – the swell is just a pathetic 0.3ft, meaning flat waves. The 15-second period on the 17th is long, but it’s just a ghost. There is simply nothing to ride.

We hit the second week, and it’s the same story. From the 21st of September onward, the highest combined energy we see is just 14, with most days at a 0. The wind sometimes goes glassy, like on Tuesday morning the 22nd, but with 0.3ft of swell, the ocean is a mirror, not a wave.

The best I can say is that on the 28th of September morning, we see a little 0.3ft swell from the SW with 11-second period and 5 units of energy, but it’s coupled with a cross-onshore wind. It’s not worth a paddle.

Truth is, with how inconsistent this place is and the total lack of energy, this is a blank run. Don't bother checking the cams until the pattern changes. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a write-off.

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.
