The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. The outlook for Sororoca over the next 16 days is a real bummer. The only spot in the mix is Sororoca, a reef that rarely breaks, and this forecast period is a total washout.
From Monday, August 24th, all the way through to Tuesday, September 8th, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, coming from the SSE, SE, and ESE, blowing at 9 to 19 mph. The swell is there, but it’s messy. The combined wave energy is mostly moderate – between 173 and 316 – but it’s paired with short-period, choppy waves. Swell heights run from 3ft to 5ft, mostly from the E or ESE, with periods of only 6 to 8 seconds. That’s no groundswell, and it’s not the kind of energy that brings a reef like Sororoca to life.
There’s not a single standout day in the whole window. Every session is rated zero for quality. The wind never gets a clean offshore flow, and the water temperature is about 81°F, which is just average for this time of year – the anomaly is only 1°F above normal, so nothing special.
Since Sororoca is a rare-break reef and the conditions are consistently poor, there’s no session worth paddling out for. This is a real blank run for the area. If you’re itching for something, the cross-shore wind and short, lumpy swell might make it more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. But for us, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty out.

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.
