The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming up for Sororoca.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for this reef. Sororoca is a spot that only breaks on a rare alignment, and this forecast window doesn’t give us much to get excited about. The whole period is plagued by persistent cross-onshore winds, mostly from the ESE and SE, blowing at 12 to 18 mph. That’s going to keep the surface chopped up and messy. The swell direction is consistently from the east and southeast, which is fine, but it’s not the optimum NE that Sororoca really wants to fire.
From September 15 right through to the end of the month, every single session is tagged as “poor surf conditions.” The combined swell energy (118 to 262) is moderate at best, and the wave height sits between 2 ft and 5 ft. The period is short, mostly 6 to 7 seconds, so it’s weak, wind-slop swell, not the kind of groundswell that makes this reef sing. Even when the period stretches to 11 or 12 seconds on the 23rd and 24th, that long-period groundswell is hitting a beach setup with onshore wind – it’ll probably just close out or be too straight to reel properly.
The water temp on the 15th is 81°F, about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s a little toastier than usual, but you won’t feel it through the chop.
There’s no standout session. Honestly, the best I can say is that on the morning of the 27th, the wind swings to straight onshore for a brief moment, so it won’t be as horribly cross-onshore, but it’s still not clean at all. This is a spot that rarely breaks, and this run looks like a classic blank stretch. If you’re a paddle surfer, you might be better off grabbing a kite – the cross-shore winds and small, lumpy waves could be more fun for the kite crew than anyone with a surfboard.
There are no solid recommendations here, folks. It’s a quiet spell, and that’s about as usual as it gets for this area when the wind and swell don’t line up.

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.
