The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got on the cards for this stretch.
Well, to be straight up with you, it’s going to be a rough run. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty miserable. There’s just no good surf to get excited about. The only spot on the radar is Sororoca, a reef break that rarely breaks, and even when it does, the conditions are pretty ordinary. We’ve got a solid 16-day stretch here with no solid recommendations, so it’s a real blank run. For this area, that’s not totally out of the ordinary, but it still stings.
Looking at Sororoca, from Tuesday the 8th of September right through to Wednesday the 23rd, it’s a constant story of poor surf. The swell is hanging around 4ft to 5ft, mostly from the E or ESE, with a short, weak period of just 6 to 8 seconds. That’s not groundswell, that’s just wind chop. The combined energy of all swells is moderate, topping out at 302 on the 10th, but it’s not doing any good. The wind is a killer – it’s a persistent cross or cross-onshore breeze from the SE or ESE, anywhere from 12 mph to 19 mph. That’s a moderate to fresh breeze, and it’s just tearing the surface up, making it lumpy, choppy, and cross-chop. There’s no stretch of clean, glassy conditions in sight.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there. But honestly, with the wind and the short-period swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
So, save your energy, keep an eye on the charts, and hope the forecasts change. It’s a washout.

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.
