Sao Pedro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Sao Pedro. I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We’re staring down a long stretch of days without anything worth paddling out for, so patience is the name of the game.

Looking at the whole sixteen-day window, the prevailing pattern is small to flat surf, often with clean conditions but simply no energy behind 'em. The combined swell energy barely flickers – you see numbers like 11, 15, 10 – all weak stuff. The biggest reading we get is only 68, and even that is very modest. The water temp at this spot sits around 68°F, which is about average for the time of year, so a wetsuit's the call.

The only day that even hints at a pulse is Sunday, July 12th. That morning we get the best of the bunch: a 2ft swell from the W, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is light, coming from the SW, and that's straight onshore here, so the surface is going to be a little bumpy. It's not ideal, but compared to the rest of the run, it's the only chance to get wet. This is a sheltered point break, but it “rarely breaks” at the best of times, and it’s “often” crowded when it does, so don’t expect much. The combined energy is still just weak at 68, so the waves will be small and weak.

After that morning, it’s back to flatness. We go through a massive gap from Sunday afternoon all the way through the rest of the second week – days with zeros for energy and clean but totally waveless conditions. The second week is a dead loss: the 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, all the way to the 25th – nothing but tiny wind swells that won't hold up.

Best call: If you’re desperate, Sunday, July 12th morning is your only real shot at a wave. It’s a beginner-friendly point, but with poor conditions and inconsistent surf, keep expectations real low. For everyone else, save the gas.

Rusty.
