The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, I’ve had a good look at Sororoca for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and unfortunately, the forecast isn’t doing it any favours. For the entire 16-day window, from Sunday, September 6th right through to Monday, September 21st, every single session is tagged as poor surf conditions. That’s a blank run of over two weeks. When a spot is this inconsistent, a long quiet period like this isn’t totally out of the ordinary, but it’s still a bummer.
The pattern is relentless: a persistent cross-onshore wind from the ESE and SE, blowing at 9 to 19 mph, keeps things choppy and lumpy. The swell is hanging around 3 ft to 5 ft, mostly from the east and east-southeast, with a short, weak period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here ranges from 107 up to a peak of 292, so you’re looking at moderate wave energy at best, but it’s completely undermined by the wind. Water temperature is sitting at 81°F with an anomaly of 1°, so pretty average for this time of year – nothing to write home about there.
There isn’t a single standout session. The swell direction is from the east, but the optimum for this break is from the northeast, so it’s not even lining up well. Nothing here is big enough to be dangerous – it stays under 5 ft the whole time – but the quality is just gone. With that consistent onshore wind and short-period chop, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay poor forever, but for now, leave the boards at home.

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.
