Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Pine forest and peaceful beach with regular waves. An exposed beach break that often works. A pleasant and underrated spot between Nazaré and Figueira da Foz.
Autumn is the queen season. Winter brings the big sessions, spring stays very quality.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
São Pedro is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at São Pedro comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around São Pedro, you can also check conditions at Praia do Norte, Nazaré Sul, Buarcos. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
