The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I’ve stared at this forecast for Sororoca, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s looking grim for the next 16 days. There’s just not a single window where the stars align for a decent paddle.
The whole run from Thursday, September 10th, all the way through to Thursday, September 25th, is a total write-off. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, hovering in the 100-200 range, with a brief spike to 411 on the 13th, but it doesn’t matter because the wind is relentless. It’s a constant, moderate cross-onshore breeze from the SE or ESE, blowing at 12-16 mph, which is just shredding the surface into a choppy mess. The swell is short-period, 6-8 seconds, and coming from the E or ESE, which is not the NE optimum for this reef break. The waves are small, between 3 ft and 5 ft, but they’re ugly and sectiony.
If you’re desperate, the water is a touch warmer than normal at 81° on the first morning, but that’s the only positive. Don’t bother driving out there. This setup looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle. For now, it’s a hard pass. Forecasts can change, but this is a long, blank run.
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.
