The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. I’ll level with you—this stretch is a dud for surfing. The whole 16-day window out at Sororoca (reef) is a no-go. We’re talking a solid two weeks where the conditions are just garbage. This reef rarely breaks, and this forecast doesn’t help. The water is a warm 81°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing extreme, just a bit above average.
From Monday the 14th through Tuesday the 29th of September, every session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell is small, running from 2 ft to 5 ft, mostly from the ESE or E, but the period is short—mostly 5 to 8 seconds, with a few longer 11-second pulses later. The wind is a constant cross or cross-onshore from the SE or ESE, blowing 12 to 19 mph, chopping everything up. There’s no clean window.
The combined swell energy does hit 234 (moderate) on Saturday the 19th, and 222 on Wednesday the 23rd, but with the wind messing up the surface and the direction not matching the optimum NE this spot wants, it’s all wasted. Even the few onshore wind days won’t help because the swell is too small and weak. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Bottom line: nothing worth paddling out for over the entire forecast. Sororoca rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run like this is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.

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.
