The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Sororoca. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and looking at what’s coming, it’s going to stay that way for almost the whole run.
This wave is pretty exposed to the swell, but the breeze is just about always coming from the wrong angle – cross-onshore, chopping things up day after day. The water’s sitting at a pretty normal 81°F, so nothing weird there for this time of year.
For the next eleven days, from Friday the 4th of September right through to Tuesday the 15th of September, it’s a brutal run of poor surf conditions. The swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, usually just under 300 in the combined energy reading, and with short periods mostly between 6 and 8 seconds – so you’re looking at weak, lumpy, messy little lines. Even when the swell bumps up a touch on Thursday the 10th of September morning to 6ft with a period of 8 seconds, the wind is still cross-shore and choppy, and the forecast only calls it marginal at best.
The only hint of something slightly less ugly comes later in the run. On Saturday the 19th of September afternoon, there’s a pulse of 5ft east swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy hits 314 – so it’s got a little more push. But again, it’s cross-onshore, poor surf conditions, no joy. This break needs a good, clean offshore wind to really shine, and we just aren’t getting it.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. Not one window of clean, fun surf. The best I can say is keep your eye on the longer range, but as it sits, the 16-day forecast is a write-off for paddle surfing at Sororoca. If the wind ever swings around properly, it could be interesting, but right now – don't bother paddling out.

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.
