The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks at Sororoca. I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim outlook. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch with no real green lights for a paddle. The swell consistently rolls in from the east around 3ft to 5ft, but the wind is the killer here. It’s locked in from the southeast, serving up cross-on conditions day after day. That means the surface is going to be choppy and lumpy, and the wave comment across the entire forecast is “poor surf conditions.” The combined swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, ranging from 102 to 691, but the wind just ruins any chance of a clean face.
The first real chance of anything happens on Monday, September 7th. We’re looking at 3ft of east swell with a period of 8 seconds. The water temperature is 81°F, which is about average for this time of year. But the wind is already a cross-on 12-16 mph from the southeast, so it’s messy. That’s the story for the whole first week. The swell tries to pick up a bit towards Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th, hitting 5ft to 5ft, and the energy climbs into the 260-299 range, but it’s still cross-on and choppy. No good.
The real kicker comes on Saturday, September 19th. The swell jumps to 6ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 691 – that’s moderate energy, but it’s the most we’ll see. Unfortunately, the wind is still cross-shore, creating a lumpy cross-chop. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, so to see it with this much energy is a tease. But with the wind state, it’s going to be a washing machine. At 6ft, this is starting to push into expert territory, but the conditions will be so poor it’s not worth the paddle out. Honestly, for this whole period, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent cross-onshore wind.
Bottom line: Don’t bother waxing up for Sororoca. There’s not a single standout session in the next 16 days. It’s a blank run, and for a spot that rarely breaks, this is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.

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.
