The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break this down.
Look, I gotta be straight with you. The outlook for Sororoca over the next 16 days is about as exciting as a flat tire. There’s nothing good to shout about. The whole stretch from the start of August through the 17th is a washout. Not a single recommendation worth getting wet for.
The wave heights are mostly in the 3 to 5 ft range, but it’s all coming from the east or southeast, which is wrong for this reef. The period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak and wind-blown. The combined energy gets up to a moderate 341 on the morning of the 15th, but it’s wasted with cross-onshore breezes. The water temp is around 81°, which is about average for the time of year.
The best you can hope for is the morning of Saturday the 15th. You’ve got a little bump in energy to 5 ft, but it’s still messy and cross-onshore. This reef rarely breaks and needs that northeast direction to do its thing. The wind is wrong, the direction is wrong, and the quality is poor. It’s just not happening.
Honestly, you’d be better off checking the kite forecast. This stretch is a total blank for paddle surfing. Things can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
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.
