The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase. Sororoca over the next 16 days is a flat out bust. This reef break only rarely breaks anyway, and the whole window is plagued with persistent poor surf conditions, moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds, and lumpy, choppy surf. There’s a long gap from now all the way through the forecast period with zero quality options.
Starting Tuesday, 8th September, we’ve got 4ft of short period swell from the ESE at just 6 seconds – that’s weak windswell with a messy cross-shore wind of 19 mph out of the SE. Combined energy is weak at 98. The water temp is 81°, about average for this time of year with a 2° anomaly. Not noteworthy.
This same story carries through the whole period. On Wednesday the 9th, 4ft E swell at 7 seconds – still poor, cross-onshore, choppy. Energy climbs to moderate at 164 but the surface is garbage. Thursday the 10th bumps to 5ft ESE with a period of 8 seconds, energy at 254 – again moderate energy, but wind stays cross-onshore and messy.
Through the weekend of Saturday the 12th, it’s 4ft E, 8 seconds at best, energy at 248, and it’s still cross-onshore. No change. The whole week is locked into 4ft to 5ft swell from the E or ESE, periods between 5 and 8 seconds, with a constant moderate to fresh cross-onshore breeze. Not a single glassy or offshore window.
By the second week, Tuesday the 15th, the wind goes briefly cross-shore but it’s still lumpy cross-chop with 4ft at 6 seconds. Wednesday the 16th drops to 3ft E, 7 seconds – still poor. The pattern holds: on Friday the 18th, the wind picks up to 19 mph, stays cross-onshore, lumpy. Saturday the 19th, 4ft ESE, 7 seconds, energy at 200. Nothing cleans up.
The last days, from 20th to 23rd September, are identical: 4ft to 5ft E/ESE swell, 7 seconds, cross-onshore wind, poor conditions. There is absolutely no standout day. The best energy you’ll see was Friday the 11th afternoon at 330 (moderate), but that’s 5ft E at 7 seconds with 16 mph cross-onshore wind – you’ll be battling choppy slop.
For a spot that rarely breaks, this is about as bad a run as you can get. The persistent moderate onshore wind and short period swell makes it more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle surfing one. There’s nothing to rush for in the next 16 days at Sororoca. Forecasts can shift, but right now it’s a blank run.
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.
