The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. It is what it is – a tough run for the next sixteen days. The finder’s picking up nothing good for us, and when you look at the guidance file, it only knows of one break, Sororoca, and even that one is a "rarely breaks" proposition.
Sororoca is a reef break, and it’s been rated as an intermediate wave. The trouble is, it’s not on. The whole period – from September 12th right through to September 27th – is a solid blank. Every single session is scored as poor with cross-onshore winds from the East and ESE, mostly hanging around the 12 to 16 mph mark, which just ruins the surface. The swell is limp too, sitting between 3 ft and 5 ft and coming from the East with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak, barely topping 200 (216 at best), which tells you it’s got no punch.
The water temperature isn’t mentioned in the specific break data, but given the overall outlook, it’s academic. For a spot that rarely breaks, when it does need the right combo, and we’ve got relentless cross-onshore wind and weak, short-period swell – it’s just not happening. It is a beach-and-reef setup, with that much wind and sloppy surf, this looks more like a kiteboarding window than a paddle session.
The upside is, Sororoca is listed as "rarely breaks", so a long blank run like this is actually normal for the area. Don’t get your hopes up for the next two weeks. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
