The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about this forecast. To be straight with you, Sororoca is a reef setup that’s rarely breaking, and this 16-day window is looking… well, pretty grim. I’ve scoured the charts, and there’s not a single session that I’d paddle out for. The swell direction is mostly from the east, but the wind is locked in from the ESE and SE, blowing cross-on or cross, and it’s just messy. The water here is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there, but it won’t help you.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing. From Thursday the 27th of August all the way through to the 11th of September, every single time slot is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell height is hanging around 3ft to 6ft, with short periods of 6 to 9 seconds—mostly weak, disorganised energy. The combined energy is weak to moderate, like 136 to 410, but none of it is breaking clean. At the end of the run, on the 10th and 11th of September, the wind shifts to onshore from the ENE with a 12-second swell on the 10th morning, but it’s still labelled poor surf. The energy jumps to 671 that morning, but it’s not enough to save it.
There are no standouts. No hidden gems. If you’re itching for a paddle, you’d be better off waiting for a change in the pattern. This spot rarely breaks, and when it does, it needs the right combo. Forecasts can shift, and with a few consistent breaks around, it usually doesn’t stay this quiet forever. But for now, it’s a blank run.

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.
