The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s get real about this stretch. It’s a rough look, I won’t lie. Over this whole 16-day window, I can’t find a single session that’s worth getting excited about. Just a long, flat run of poor conditions.
We kick off on the 15th with a cross-onshore breeze messing up a small, weak swell. Wave energy is low, in the low 100s (144). That’s the story for the first week. Swell height sits between 3 ft and 5 ft, but the wind stays stubborn from the east and southeast. It’s cross-on or cross almost the whole time, with a fresh breeze on the 18th making things lumpy. Energy does pick up into the 200s (218) on the 18th afternoon, but it’s useless with that wind.
Moving into the second week, swell drops to between 2 ft and 4 ft. The period stretches out, hitting 11 seconds around the 24th, which is usually a good sign for some proper groundswell. But the wind never gives us a break. It stays cross-onshore, never going offshore to clean things up.
Bottom line: for the next 16 days, there is no standout. You might see some size, but the quality is consistently poor. The cross-onshore wind is the main issue. Energy peaks again around the 22nd (231), but without offshore wind, it’s just choppy and messy. Let’s hope the long-range forecast shifts.
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.
