The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you—this outlook is a tough one. The whole 16-day window from now through to the end of September is a write-off for decent waves at Sororoca. There’s simply nothing worth paddling out for. Not a single session gets a nod, and the surf through the entire period is described as poor. So we’re looking at a solid blank run of over two weeks.

Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and when it does, it’s only for intermediates. The swell’s hanging around small—mostly 3ft to 5ft from the east and east-southeast—but it’s short-period stuff, 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak and gutless. The combined swell energy maxes out at only 264 (moderate wave energy) on the Friday the 11th of September, but that’s about as exciting as it gets, and it’s still poor. The wind is a constant problem: cross-onshore from the SE or ESE at 12 to 19 mph, with the morning of Thursday the 24th of September being the only time we see a brief window of offshore wind (easterly at 12 mph), but even then the surf is poor and the period is just 7 seconds. On top of that, the water temperature is sitting at 81°F, which is 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year—a noticeable little spike, but you won’t be enjoying it through choppy, lumpy conditions.

Honestly, with these small, short-period waves and persistent cross-onshore wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There are no standouts, no hidden gems—just two weeks of flat, messy ocean. It’s a normal kind of blank run for an area where the break rarely fires. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye out, but for now, leave the board in the car.

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.
