The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Sororoca. This reef rarely breaks, and over the next 16 days, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. Every single session is tagged with “poor surf conditions,” and the scores are all zeros. The winds don’t let up either – constant cross-on or cross-shore breezes from the southeast or east-southeast, mostly 9 mph to 16 mph, keeping everything choppy and messy.

Starting Friday the 11th, we’ve got a weak E swell around 4 ft, period a short 8 seconds, but with that SE wind blowing 16 mph cross-on, it’s just junk. Combined swell energy is moderate at best (220), but the offshore wind from the optimum direction (NE) is nowhere to be seen. This same pattern drags on through the weekend and into the next week. The swell hangs around 3 ft to 4 ft, period bouncing between 6 and 8 seconds, and the combined energy dips as low as 109 on Wednesday the 16th morning – weak, all of it. The winds stay cross-on, never favourable.

There’s a bit of a shift around Wednesday the 23rd. The swell drops right down to only 2 ft, but the period jumps up to 13 seconds – a longer period groundswell from the E. Combined energy ticks up to 240 (moderate). Unfortunately, the wind is still cross-on from the E at 9 mph, so it’s still fairly choppy. That long period could shape up a bit, but with the break being a reef and rarely breaking, and such tiny swell, it’s really not a goer. The morning of Thursday the 24th has the wind briefly turning “on” (offshore) from the E at 12 mph, but with the same tiny 2 ft, 12-second swell, it’s barely a ripple. The rest of the outlook from the 25th goes back to that same 4 ft to 4 ft, 7-second slop with cross-on winds.

There aren’t any standouts here. No good windows. It’s pretty normal for an area with a break that rarely breaks – a blank run like this is just the way it goes sometimes. The forecasts can always change, but as it stands, leave the board at home.

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.
