The Lowdown
Well folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this stretch of coast is looking properly flat for the foreseeable future. We’ve got a rare little point break on the cards, but it’s gonna be a long wait for anything worthwhile.
Right now, there’s just nothing happening. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf. We’ve got a couple of tiny bumps here and there, but nothing that’d get a soul out of bed. From Sunday the 19th of July right through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s a grim, flat run. The only spot on the radar is Sao Pedro, a point break that’s sheltered from the swell and rarely breaks at the best of times. It’s a beginner-friendly wave when it does show, but right now it’s just not on.
The water temperature is sitting at 70°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels nice if you’re swimming, but not much use for surfing.
We do see the merest hint of a pulse on Sunday the 19th of July, with a tiny 1.0ft west swell and a period of 9 seconds. Winds are a moderate 12 mph from the northwest, blowing cross-off, so it’d be clean, but that combined swell energy is a pathetic 26 – basically no energy at all. That’s about as good as it gets, and it’s not good.
Through the rest of July and into early August, we’re looking at swell heights mostly below 0.7ft, periods all over the shop, and combined energy values barely hitting double digits. A few days, like the 23rd of July, have zero swell registered. Winds stay stiff from the north and northwest, often 16 to 22 mph, which for a sheltered point like this is just messy. Later in the period, around the 29th of July, we get a shift to onshore and cross-onshore winds, with a risk of t-storms, but still no swell to speak of.
Honestly, there’s no standout, no hidden gem, no reason to paddle out. This is one of those blank runs that happens in this area – it tends not to stay poor for long, forecasts can change, but right now you’re better off doing something else. The only thing worth noting is that the wind and lack of waves would make this setup far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
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.
