The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Sororoca is offering up over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you – it's a tough outlook.
Right off the bat, there’s no surf worth paddling out for right now. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell for this spot. From Thursday the 3rd of September all the way through to Friday the 18th of September, it’s a long, blank run. Every single forecast point through that entire stretch is marked with poor surf conditions and a zero rating.
What’s the story? Well, Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms why. The swell energy is weak, with the combined energy of all swells directed here sitting at low two-digit and three-digit values – we’re talking between 86 and 290. That’s barely a pulse. The swell heights hover around 3ft to 5ft, but they’re coming from the east or southeast with short periods of 6 to 9 seconds. That’s just windswell, and it’s being met with cross-onshore winds from the east and southeast, blowing at 9 to 19 mph. That combo is making for choppy, lumpy, messy conditions every single day. No glassy mornings, no clean offshore flow – just a constant chop.
Even when the swell bumps up to 5ft or 5ft around the 11th and 12th of September, the winds are still cross-onshore and the period is short. It’s not going to translate into anything rideable here. For a break that needs a specific NE swell to work and is exposed to these easterly winds, this forecast is a complete write-off.
Look, this is just one of those stretches where the region goes quiet. Sororoca is inconsistent at the best of times, and with the winds against us and no real groundswell in the mix, there’s nothing to get excited about. Forecasts can change, but for now, 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.
