Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sao Pedro over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at your local setup.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, the surf outlook for Sao Pedro is pretty much a desert. The wave energy is just not showing up. The first few days have zero to tiny swell, and the wind is mostly cross-on, making for poor conditions. You’ve got a long stretch here where the waves are basically non-existent or barely ankle-high.
Let’s break it down. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are a washout. Tiny swell, cross-onshore winds, and the wave energy is basically zero (0 to 28). Then Monday the 13th through Tuesday the 14th, we see a tiny 1ft to 2ft west swell, but the period is short or mixed, and the wind stays cross-on. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 14 and 30. Not even worth paddling out for.
From Wednesday the 15th onward, the wind shifts to a cross-offshore breeze, which cleans up the surface, but the swell is pathetic – mostly less than 0.5ft of south or southwest swell. The energy readings are all in the single digits or low teens (3 to 15). The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no wild surprises there.
The only standout – if you can call it that – is a tiny window on Wednesday the 15th afternoon. The wind is clean, but the swell is just less than 0.5ft with a long 15-second period from the SW. The combined energy is weak (13). This is a real long-period groundswell, but it’s so small it’s barely going to show at a sheltered point break like Sao Pedro. It’s more of a promise than a reality.
Because the swell is so small, this spot is fine for beginners, but honestly, there’s nothing to ride. The break is rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. If you’re desperate, the cleanest days are the 15th through the 26th, but the swell is basically a flat calm. Kite surfers might get a bit more out of the wind, but for paddle surfing, it’s a long wait.
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.
