The Lowdown
Man, this is a tough one to write. I've looked over every scrap of data for Sororoca for the next two weeks, and there is just no good surf on offer. Zero recommendations in the entire 16-day window. It's a reef break that's already inconsistent and rarely breaks, and the wind is blowing the living daylights out of it. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, which is the only thing that's not a disappointment.
The whole forecast is a mess of cross-onshore and onshore winds. It starts off with a weak 4ft ESE swell at 6 seconds, with weak energy at 118. The same story repeats all week. By Friday the 18th, we get a bump to 5ft at 6 seconds, and the energy gets moderate at 205, but it's all lumpy and chopped. The period is short, so it's just wind-slop with no power.
There's no gap in the bad conditions; it's wall-to-wall poor surf. The second week is more of the same, with the swell swinging to the ENE. We see a long-period 12-second swell arrive on the 23rd, but it's tiny at 2ft. That doesn't do us any favors. The energy builds to a strong 332 by the 29th, with some 5ft swell, but it's still all cross-on and messy and the period has dropped back to a weak 7 seconds.
With conditions like this, and a spot this exposed, it's honestly looking more like a kitesurfing forecast than a surfing one. I'd leave the board in the car. Usually, a stretch this bad doesn't last forever, and the models can always change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about. If that ENE swell holds into the last days, and by some miracle the wind drops, maybe there's a chance. But don't hold your breath.
This is Rusty, out.

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.
