The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a yarn about what’s coming up at Sororoca.
Alright, straight up—there’s no good surf on the table for the next 16 days. The whole outlook is a write-off, I’m afraid. Sororoca is a tricky reef break that rarely breaks, and this forecast just doesn’t deliver. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions from Saturday 22nd August through to Sunday 6th September. That’s over two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for.
The swell sticks around, but the quality is hopeless. From the get-go on Saturday morning, we’re looking at 3ft of easterly swell with a short period of just 7 seconds, blown out by a cross-onshore SE wind at 12 mph. Combined swell energy is moderate (204), but with that wind, it’s just choppy and messy. That theme continues: day after day, the swell hangs between 3ft and 6ft, with periods mostly around 6 to 8 seconds, and the wind stays cross-on or cross-shore from the SE or E. There’s never a moment of clean, offshore glass. Even when the swell pushes up to 6ft around Friday 4th September and Saturday 5th September, with combined energy climbing into the strong range (461), it’s still plagued by fresh cross-shore winds that leave a lumpy, cross-chop mess. That’s more a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout. The optimum swell direction for Sororoca is NE, but we get nothing but E and ESE swells the whole time. The water temp anomaly isn’t given, so I can’t comment on that.
That’s the lot, mate. No surf worth chasing here for the foreseeable. Keep an eye on the charts—things can turn around, but for now, crack a cold one and wait.

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.
