The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get real about the surf ahead.
Look, I'm gonna be straight with you. The next 16 days are about as barren as a dry riverbed. There's nothing on the menu that's worth paddling out for. The only break that even gets a mention is Sao Pedro, but it's a rare bird that's rarely breaks, so this kind of long, quiet run is actually pretty normal for the area.
The first few days, from Wednesday the 2nd through to Wednesday the 9th, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, like 0.7ft, and the energy is weak (23). It's a long-period groundswell from the SSW, but it's just not enough to get anything going. Water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year.
We get a bit of a pulse on Thursday the 10th, with a short-period 0.7ft westerly swell, but it's only pushing through with 8 of energy. It's clean, but there's no power to it. Friday the 11th brings a tiny 0.3ft south swell with a long period of 14 seconds, but it's just a tease. The wind is offshore from the N, so it's clean, but there's nothing to ride.
The second week is just more of the same. We see a few days with glassy conditions on the 12th and 14th, but the swell is basically non-existent. Even the best-looking day, Saturday the 19th of September, with a 0.3ft S swell and light offshore winds, is still a total dud. The wave energy is in the single digits (3). It's a dead zone.
So, there's no standout. There's no best day. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf. It's one of those times where you wax the board, have a coffee, and wait for the next system. The forecasts can always change, but for now, it's a long, flat spell.
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.
