The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Sororoca. Straight up—nothing’s happening. The whole 16-day run is a bust, zero recommendations, and this spot rarely breaks anyway. It’s one of those zones where a blank spell is more normal than not.
Water temp is about 80°, pretty average for this time of year. No weird anomaly there. But the surf? It’s all poor. From Saturday, August 8th, right through to Sunday, August 23rd, every session is marked as poor surf conditions.
Those first few days, the 8th to the 10th, we’ve got tiny swell—3ft to 4ft—out of the east, with a short period of 6 to 7 seconds. Wind is cross-onshore from the ESE or SE, 15 to 25 km/h, making it choppy and ugly. Combined energy is weak to moderate, starting at 80 and hitting 133. Nothing to get excited about. Midweek, the 11th to the 14th, swell picks up a bit to 4ft to 5ft from the ESE, period still short, and the wind goes cross-shore, but it’s a messy cross-chop. Energy runs into the 100s and low 200s, but it’s all wasted on crappy conditions.
Around the 15th and 16th, we get a longer period—12 seconds—but the swell is tiny, 2ft to 2ft, and the wind stays cross-onshore. Energy spikes to 218 on the 16th morning, but it’s a tease. The 17th shows a 4ft east swell with 11-second period, energy of 336, but again, cross-shore winds and poor surf. After that, it’s back to short-period, cross-onshore slop through the 23rd, with swell heights of 4ft to 5ft but wind and period killing the quality.
This whole setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddling. If you’re into kiting, the consistent wind and choppy water might be your jam. For the rest of us, it’s a blank. The area goes quiet like this sometimes. Forecasts can shift, but for now, no dice.

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.
