The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with ya – I’ve been staring at the charts for Sororoca, and it’s a tough stretch ahead.
To be honest, across this entire 16-day window, there isn’t a single session I’d paddle out for. The forecast shows nothing but "poor surf conditions" from start to finish. You’d be waiting a good while between decent waves if any ever show up. The water temp is sitting at a pretty toasty 81° – about average for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're sitting there watching flat lines.
Sororoca itself is a reef break that rarely breaks anyway, and the wind is locked in from the SSE or ESE, blowing cross or cross-onshore the whole time. The swell direction is coming from the ESE and E, which isn’t matching the optimum NE direction the spot needs to fire properly. Swell heights bounce around between 3 ft and 5 ft, but with periods mostly hanging around 6 to 8 seconds, there’s just no push or shape in the water. The combined energy readings are weak to moderate at best (maxing out around 291), so there’s no real power behind any of it.
Even the slightly bigger pulses, like Sunday the 16th with 5 ft and energy hitting 291, are completely trashed by 19 mph cross winds. It’s going to be lumpy, messy, and basically unrideable. The only thing worth mentioning is that later in the second week, around the 25th to the 27th, the swell period creeps up to 8 seconds, but the cross-onshore winds and chop are still there to mess it up.
Bottom line: if you’ve got a kite, you might have some fun in the wind, but for a surfboard? There’s nothing here. Put the stick away and wait for a change in the forecast – it can’t stay this bad forever.

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.
