The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. Sororoca is a reef break that only rarely breaks, and looking at the next couple of weeks, the conditions just aren't coming together. We've got a constant cross-onshore wind, mostly from the SE, blowing at 12 to 19 mph through nearly the whole period, and that's going to leave the surface choppy and messy. There's really nothing here that's going to get me excited.
The only real change I can see comes right at the tail end, around Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th, when the wind swings to a clean onshore direction from the E and ENE. The swell stays small though – around 4ft to 4ft from the E and ENE – with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. That means weak, weak energy. It's still not going to be great, but the wind might finally be a bit more workable. Don't hold your breath though; it's a long way off and rarely breaks anyway.
Other than that, it's a blank run for the whole 16 days. For a spot that rarely breaks, that's not unusual, but it’s still a bummer. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for.

Information about the Sororoca Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Sororoca provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Sororoca can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Sororoca 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 (Sororoca) 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 Sororoca 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.
