The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet and miles.
Let’s be straight with you.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for Sororoca. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and when it does, it’s a picky spot that needs the swell to come from the NE to really work. Over the next 16 days, we’re seeing a pretty persistent E to ESE swell, but that’s not the direction this wave wants. The combined swell energy sits mostly in the moderate range, with readings between 88 and 273 – enough water moving, but it’s not directed right for this spot.
The wind is the real killer here. From Saturday morning, 5 September, right through to Sunday morning, 20 September, it’s nearly always cross-on from the SE or ESE, with speeds between 15 and 30 km/h. That’s a moderate breeze most of the time, and it’s keeping the surface choppy and lumpy. The surf quality is just poor, session after session. There’s a couple of moments on Monday, 7 September, where the wind is listed as “on” – straight onshore – but still not good. Even on Saturday, 19 September, when the swell bumps up to 5 ft, the period is short at 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore, so it’s still messy.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
There are no standouts here. The best you could hope for is maybe a slightly less choppy moment on one of those afternoons with a gentle breeze, but even then, the swell direction is wrong and the period is short. This is a spot that needs a very specific setup, and we just don’t have it.
The whole 16-day window is a blank run. If you’re keen on a paddle, you’re wasting your time. For a kite, with that cross-on wind and moderate energy, it might be more interesting than for a surfboard.
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.
