The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you — this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for decent waves. We’ve got Sororoca, a reef break that rarely breaks, and over the coming weeks it’s just not lining up. No standout sessions, no hidden gems. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, the swell is weak and short period, and it’s all just messy.
Right now, starting Monday the 31st of August, we’ve got a 5 ft easterly swell with a short 8-second period, but the SE wind is 16 mph and cross-on, making it choppy. The combined swell energy is only moderate (365). Water temp is 81°, which is about average for this time of year. Not worth paddling out.
Through the first week of September, it doesn’t improve. Tuesday the 1st through to Sunday the 6th, we’re stuck with 3 ft to 5 ft easterly swell, periods of 7 to 9 seconds, and cross-onshore winds from the ESE or SE at 9 to 16 mph. The energy drops from 287 down to 136. It’s all poor surf conditions — choppy, weak, and uninspiring.
The second week is more of the same. Monday the 7th through to Monday the 14th, the swell hangs around 3 ft to 5 ft, still from the east or ESE, with periods as low as 6 seconds. Winds are mostly cross-onshore, sometimes cross-shore, but still fresh and lumpy, especially on Wednesday the 9th with 19 mph SE winds. Energy values are low to moderate, from 78 up to 220. No quality, no shape.
Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’re into that. For surfers, it’s a blank run. But this area can be fickle — forecasts change, and it tends not to stay this flat forever.
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.
