The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve checked the charts and I’m not going to sugarcoat it – this is a grim stretch for surfing around here. There’s a big gap of nothing at the start, and it doesn’t really let up for the full 16 days.
Sororoca – this reef doesn’t break often, and it’s not going to break well now. Swell energy is weak to moderate, with readings like 260 (Tuesday morning, August 25th) up to 295 (Wednesday afternoon, September 9th). Swell heights are mostly 4ft to 5ft, coming from the E or ESE, with a short period of just 7 to 8 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, not the kind of long, ground-swell lines that feed a reef.
The wind is the main problem. For the first week, it’s cross to cross-onshore, blowing at 12 to 19 mph, making the surface lumpy and choppy. Even when the sky is clear, the breeze messes it up. From early September, the wind turns more onshore from the east at 9 to 12 mph, which does nothing to help. Water temp is a warm 81° – about 1° above normal – so it’s not a shock, but you’ll be swimming in warm, messy, small, short-period slop.
There’s no day where the stars align. The break is inconsistent, the swell is poor quality, and the wind is always against you. The combined energy never hits the strong mark. This setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing – those cross-shore winds and small chop could be fun on a kite. But for a surfboard? Forget it. It’s a blank run, and for a spot that rarely breaks, that’s pretty normal. Keep an eye out, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
