The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this stretch of coast is in a flat spell. The first real surf recommendation doesn’t pop up until the very end of the window, so we’ve got a long, quiet run ahead.

The whole 16-day period is dominated by tiny, weak swells and mostly clean but unproductive conditions. The only break on the table is Sao Pedro (Sao Pedro), a sheltered point that’s a beginner-friendly setup. It rarely breaks, and that’s exactly the problem here. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.

From Thursday 27 August through to Wednesday 9 September, there’s next to nothing. You’ll see a brief pulse on the morning of Thursday 27 August with a 7 ft swell from the west, but the period is a jumbled 7 seconds, the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the west at 19 mph, and the combined energy is a weak 525. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” – and it’s true. That’s more of a wind-swell mess than anything you’d want to paddle out into. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. After that, it’s flat or near-flat all the way through to the second week of September.

The real standout – and the only one worth talking about – shows up on Wednesday 9 September afternoon. We get a 1 ft swell from the west with a 12-second period, and combined energy of 33. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore breeze from the northwest at 12 mph, keeping things clean. It’s tiny, sure, but for a spot that rarely breaks, this is as good as it gets in this window. The swell direction is from the west, which is a bit off the optimum southwest direction for this spot, so it’s more of a long-shot chance. Still, it’s the only time the conditions line up with clean surf and a pulse of energy.

Bottom line: we’ve got a long, flat run with one tiny, clean window on 9 September afternoon. That’s your best bet – don’t expect much, but sometimes a little wave is all you need.

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.
