Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sao Pedro over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you – I've had a good look at the charts for this neck of the woods and, well, it's a tough one. I'm looking at a solid 16-day run, but the truth is, the surf is just not in the mood to play ball. Right from the get-go, there's nothing to shout about.
We start up on Wednesday July 8th, and the whole week is a write-off. The waves are barely a ripple, with the south swell barely pushing 0.3ft at Sao Pedro. It's all long period groundswell (18 seconds or so), but the energy is pitifully weak, barely registering a single digit. It's a classic case of a dead ocean. The wind is actually decently offshore from the north, which is a tease, but with absolutely no swell, it's just a cruel joke.
You'll notice a gap from around the 11th through the 13th where the wave energy actually drops to zero in the morning – completely flat. We get a tiny blip of energy on Sunday afternoon the 12th, a west swell of 2ft at 8 seconds, but with a combined energy of just 44, it's so weak and short-period it'll be bumpy and gutless. Clean cross-off winds from the north hold through most of this period, which is the only consolation.
The whole second week, from the 14th of July right through to the 23rd, just delivers the same story: tiny 0.3ft slop from the southwest or west. The water temp sits at a comfortable 68°, about average for this time of year, but honestly, it's not something you'll be feeling while staring at a flat ocean. The energy values mostly stay in the single digits – that's weak, weak stuff.
This spot, Sao Pedro, is a point break that rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast proves why. It's a beginner-friendly wave when it's on, but right now there's just no swell to work with. The north to north-northwest winds will keep the surface glassy in the mornings, but you need some water moving, and there simply isn't any.
The one standout here? There isn’t one. When it's this consistently poor, it's just a blank run. Nothing is on offer. Kite surfers might get a look if a breeze picks up, but for paddle surfing, you're better off finding a pool.
Keep your head up, sometimes these flat spells break, but for now, the ocean has nothing to say.
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.
