The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – this outlook for Sororoca is a tough one. The finder shows no good surf options across the entire 16-day window. That’s a blank run, plain and simple, and for a break that rarely breaks, it’s not entirely unexpected. The water temp is sitting at a mild 81°F with a 1°F anomaly – pretty average for the time of year, nothing to get excited about.
The first week starts off Wednesday, September 2nd, with a weak 4ft easterly swell, period at a short 9 seconds and combined energy of 242 (moderate). But the wind is cross-onshore from the southeast at 12-19 mph, chopping everything up. Thursday and Friday see that swell drop and the period shrink to 7 seconds – energy down around 163-165 (weak to moderate). Still cross-onshore, still messy. Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 6th, are smaller again, 3ft to 4ft, short period, and winds keep blowing cross-onshore. Not a single session with clean surf. The 8th and 9th see a slight pickup but the period stays in the 6-second range, energy around 86-140 (weak to moderate) – wave quality is poor.
Into the second week, from September 10th, the swell height tries to push up to 5ft on the morning of the 10th, with energy hitting 251 (moderate). But that’s paired with a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 19 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. By September 12th, the swell hits 6ft, combined energy up to 432 (moderate-strong), but the swell period is short at 8 seconds and the wind is still cross-onshore from the east-southeast at 16 mph. It’s just not coming together. The rest of the week, from the 13th to the 17th, is a repeat – swell between 3ft and 5ft, period 6-7 seconds, energy 140-272 (weak to moderate), and winds never turn favourable. It’s always cross-onshore or onshore.
There are no standouts here. This reef rarely breaks, and when it does, the wind is all wrong. For a surfer looking for a paddle, this setup is a dud. If you’re into kite surfing, those cross-onshore winds and moderate swell might look more interesting.
Keep an eye on forecasts – things can change – but right now, it’s a long wait.
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.
