The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for our local region.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it's a tough outlook. We're looking at a solid 16-day stretch, but the pickin's are slim. There's no surf worth paddling out for on the first day, the 31st of August, and honestly, the whole run is a bit of a write-off.
The main event, if you can call it that, is at Sororoca. This is a reef break, and it's important to know it *rarely breaks*, so seeing it in the forecast at all is a bit of a head-scratcher. Unfortunately, it doesn't make for a good session. We've got a constant stream of easterly and southeasterly cross-onshore winds. That wind is a real killer, messing up the surface and making it choppy.
The swell energy (410) on the 31st morning is moderate, but the swell is short period windswell at 6 ft and 8 seconds, coming from the East. That doesn't match the break's preferred NE direction at all. The conditions are labelled "poor surf conditions" all the way through.
We do see a bump in energy (734) on Wednesday the 2nd of September from the ESE, and the swell hits a max of 6 ft again. But the period is still short (9 seconds), and the wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore. It’s just messy.
From the 3rd through to the 15th of September, the swell drops right off. It's a long, flat spell. The energy drops to two-digit and low three-digit values, with waves barely hitting 3 ft. The winds, unfortunately, stay mostly cross-onshore with a moderate breeze. It’s a dead run for any kind of quality surfing. The setup is so wind-affected and poor quality, honestly, with steady cross-shore breezes from the 9th, this spot would be more interesting for kite surfing than trying to paddle out.
So, bottom line: there are no standouts. No hidden gems. This is a blank run of 15 days with no good surf recommendations. The break is rarely consistent, and this forecast proves it. Don't hang your hopes on it, but forecasts can change.
Stay patient.

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.
