Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sao Pedro over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Sao Pedro is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a long, flat run with barely a ripple worth getting wet for. The whole 16-day window is a blank, so don’t be holding your breath.
Right from the start, Sunday July 12th, it’s a no-go. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the West with weak energy (93), but the wind is a messy cross-onshore from the SSE, making a mess of things. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, but that’s not much comfort when there’s nothing to surf. Monday and Tuesday stay miserable with even smaller waves and poor conditions.
From Wednesday July 15th onwards, it’s practically a desert. We’re talking swell heights of 0.3ft or less for days on end. The wind does go clean, mostly cross-off from the NNW, but with no swell to work with, it’s just a cruel tease. Day after day, through the end of July, it’s the same story: clean conditions, zero surf. The combined wave energy drops to single digits and even zero – that’s as weak as it gets.
There is a brief moment of hope on Sunday July 26th morning when the wind goes glassy, but again, there’s zero swell to work with. You could paddle around in a glassy lake, but you won’t catch a wave.
So here’s the raw truth: there are simply no good surf options in this 16-day window for Sao Pedro. The spot is already finicky, being a point break that “rarely breaks,” and this forecast locks that in. It’s a blank run. For this area, unfortunately, that’s not totally unusual. The only thing you can do is keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
