The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. The guidance only points to one spot, Sororoca, and it’s a rare-breaking reef. The whole 16-day window is a blank run for decent surf. Every single day in the data comes back with poor surf conditions and a score of zero. That’s rough.
We’re looking at a solid stretch of nothing. From Thursday the 3rd through to Friday the 18th of September, there isn’t a single session I’d recommend paddling out for. The winds are mostly a moderate cross-onshore breeze, 12 to 16 mph, which is just going to chop things up. The swell is small, mostly around 3ft to 4ft from the east, with short periods mostly between 5 and 9 seconds. That’s weak, wind-affected junk. The combined energy is moderate at best, hitting 290 (Friday the 4th) but it’s all messy.
The one slight glimmer is on Wednesday the 16th of September, where the afternoon shows a clean 2ft swell from the east-southeast with a very long period of 13 seconds and onshore wind. That’s a groundswell, but it’s tiny. A long period on a beach setup can make waves break too straight, and at a reef like Sororoca, it might just be a clean but tiny line. Still, with the wind being onshore, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
For a break that rarely breaks, we’d need a perfect window. This isn’t it. The whole 16-day outlook is a write-off. Sorry, folks. Sometimes the ocean just doesn’t cooperate. Keep an eye on the forecasts, these blank runs don’t tend to last forever.
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.
