The Lowdown
Rusty here, and I’ve got the skinny for Sao Pedro. I won’t sugarcoat it – this 16-day stretch is a tough one for surfers. There’s almost nothing on the table, so keep the board in the rack.
Kicking off on Tuesday, July 28, it’s dead flat. We’re talking 0.3ft from the S with a period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 3. That’s just weak. Wednesday and Thursday are the same story. You might see a tiny bump on Friday, July 31 in the afternoon: 0.7ft from the W at 11 seconds, energy climbs to 10. Still, it’s poor.
After that, get ready for a long dry spell. From Saturday morning, August 1, all the way through to Monday morning, August 10, there is essentially nothing. It’s a solid 10-day gap with no real surf. The best in that stretch might be Saturday morning, August 9, with a tiny 0.3ft swell and an offshore wind from the N. But the energy is 3, and 0.3ft doesn’t even register.
The only flicker of hope comes on Wednesday morning, August 12. We get 1.0ft from the W, period of 10 seconds, and combined energy of 16. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NNW. That’s still tiny, but it’s the biggest pulse of the whole forecast. The problem is that Sao Pedro is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, so this little bump won’t amount to much. It’s a beginner spot, but you need a wave to learn on.
Honestly, with the swell this small and the breeze blowing, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Bottom line: don’t plan a session until maybe August 12, and even then, don’t expect much. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal.
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.
