The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down for Sororoca. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a rough one. This reef break rarely breaks, and over the whole 16-day period, the conditions are just plain poor. No standouts, no hidden gems.

The water’s warm at 81°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, with a tiny anomaly of 2°F. Nothing weird there.

From Tuesday, September 8th, all the way through Wednesday, September 23rd, it’s the same story: small swell. Heights are between 3 ft and 5 ft, coming from the ESE and E. The periods are short—6 to 8 seconds—so it’s weak windswell, not the kind of juice that fires up a reef. The combined wave energy is all in the weak to moderate range (118 to 285), and with the poor surf quality, it’s just not happening.

The wind is the main problem. It’s constant from the ESE and SE, blowing 12 to 19 mph, and it’s almost always cross-on or cross-shore. That’s choppy, lumpy, and messy. No glassy or offshore windows anywhere. Even on Saturday, September 19th, when the wind shifts to onshore from the E at 12 mph, it’s still no good. Every single entry says “poor surf conditions,” and the scores are all zeros.

So, there’s nothing for a paddle surfer here. The reef is rarely breaking, and the wind and short period ruin it. If you’re into kiting, this cross-onshore wind and steady small swell might be more your thing, but for a surfboard, it’s a 16-day bust. It’s a dry spell, but forecasts can change, and it usually doesn’t stay this flat forever. For now, hang tough.

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.
