The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up: this is a tough read for Sororoca. For the whole 16-day window, it's just one long stretch of poor surf conditions. There's not a single session where the stars align. The swell is coming in from the east, but the wind is locking in from the southeast and east-southeast, blowing cross-onshore almost the entire time, keeping the surface choppy and messy. It's a real shame, because the water temp is sitting at a nice 80°F around the start, which is about normal for this time of year.
The first real chance of anything happens right at the start, Saturday morning the 29th of August. We're looking at 3ft of east swell with a short period of 8 seconds, weak energy (167). But that southeast wind at 16 mph is ruining it. The same story rolls through the weekend and into the week. The swell does pick up a little, hitting 6ft on Monday the 31st of August – that's the biggest in the window, with moderate energy (410) – but the period is still short at 8 seconds, and the wind is still cross-on. It's rough, lumpy, and frankly, not fun.
By the second week, into September, the swell drops back to 3ft to 5ft, and the wind just keeps blowing. There's a few sessions on Monday the 7th and Thursday the 10th where the wind switches to "on" from the east and east-northeast, but it's still not the clean offshore we need, and the surf is still tagged as poor. The period stays short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so there's no real power or shape.
I gotta be honest, there's no standout. Nothing to recommend. This is a blank run for the whole 16 days. Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms it. For anyone looking at this, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that consistent cross-onshore wind and waist-high chop. The forecasts can change, but right now, you'd be better off doing something else. Hang in there.
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.

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.
