The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. If you were hoping for a good session in the next couple of weeks, I gotta be honest with you, it's looking grim. We're in for a long stretch of poor, messy surf.
From Tuesday the 1st through the 5th, it's a total write-off. We've got cross-onshore winds blowing 12 to 15 mph, making for choppy, bumpy conditions. The swell is weak, and the energy is low, only hitting between 125 and 304. It's just a bunch of blown-out closeouts. Not worth your time.
There is a tiny window on the morning of Sunday the 6th where the wind turns offshore from the east. The swell is a small 3ft, but with that wind, it might be the cleanest it gets. But the period is only 8 seconds, so don't expect much power behind it. Seriously, temper your expectations.
The rest of that first week into the 9th is just average at best. Small swell, mostly cross-onshore winds, and moderate energy. It’s a whole lot of chop and not much else.
From the 10th through the 12th, we see the swell size bump up to around 5ft from the ESE. But the period stays short, around 7 seconds, and the winds are either cross or cross-on from the SE at 15-19 mph. The energy picks up into the 250-294 range, which is moderate, but with that wind, it’s going to be lumpy and messy. This is around when Sororoca starts to look more fun for the kite surfers than for us.
In the second week, the energy really starts to pump, but the quality is still bad. On the 15th and 16th, the combined energy jumps to 335 and then a strong 511 on the morning of Wednesday the 16th. The swell is up to 6ft from the ESE/SE, but the wind is still cross-onshore from the ESE. It’s a major increase in power, but it’s short-period and choppy. Still a miss.
Honestly, there are no standout days in this whole forecast. The swell direction isn't right, and the wind is constantly messing things up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, which is about the only normal thing. This is a long, barren stretch. It's not often it stays this flat and crappy for so long, so keep your chin up, but don’t plan any surf trips around this.

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.
