The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here.
Let’s be straight about Sao Pedro. This is a sheltered little point setup that rarely breaks, and over this whole 16-day window, it’s just not offering anything to get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch here with basically no surf.
The first few days, from Monday the 10th right through, it’s mostly flat or just tiny scraps. The combined swell energy is bottom of the barrel, sitting at just 12 on Monday afternoon, and mostly zeros after that. We’re talking ankle-biters at 0.3ft to 0.7ft with some long-period groundswell lines (11 to 18 seconds), but without any size they just won’t wrap in properly. The winds are mostly a moderate to fresh cross-offshore from the NNW, so conditions are clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
That dry spell of near-nothing stretches right into the second week. By the morning of Monday the 17th, energy ticks up to a weak 20, with a 0.3ft, 18-second swell from the SW. Still not enough. The best “surf” we see comes around Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th of August, with the swell bumping to 0.7ft. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is about normal for the time of year here. You get a light offshore wind from the N on the morning of the 19th, and a light cross-off from the NNW on the 20th. The combined energy never breaks out of the weak category, maxing out at 29 on the 22nd afternoon. Even with those clean conditions and the rare offshore, 0.7ft of weak, high-period swell on a sheltered point just isn't ridable surf.
Honestly, it’s a blank run. At a break that’s rarely breaking to begin with, this kind of dull stretch isn’t unusual. Keep an eye on the charts because things can change, but for this 16-day run, give it a miss.
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.
