The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve been looking at the numbers for Sororoca, and I gotta tell you, it’s a grim outlook. The next 16 days are a total write-off. There’s no point sugar-coating it – we’re looking at a 16-day stretch with no good surf. The break is a reef, and it rarely breaks, so a stretch like this is just part of the deal around here.
The wind is locked in from the SE and ESE, blowing cross or cross-onshore the whole time, which is wrecking the surface. The swell is small, mostly 3 ft to 5 ft, with a weak period of 6 to 8 seconds. It’s just dribbly, short-period slop. The combined energy is moderate, in the 100 to 300 range, but it’s all wasted.
The only time the swell gets a little bigger is on the 1st of September (Tuesday morning), with a 5 ft easterly swell and 8-second period, but the wind is still cross-onshore at 25 km/h, so it’s choppy. On the 4th of September (Friday morning), we see a 5 ft and then a 6 ft swell, but the period is still short and the wind is on it. The water temp is about 81°F, which is normal for the time of year, but you won’t be enjoying it.
For a reef break with this much wind and short-period swell, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. I’d say hang up the board for a bit and wait for the next change. The forecasts can shift, but right now, it’s a no-go.

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.
