The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Sororoca. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for.
The main issue is that the wind is locked in from the east-southeast and southeast, blowing cross-onshore at 12 to 19 mph for the entire period. That’s creating choppy, bumpy conditions every single day. The swell is coming from the east, with heights ranging from 4 ft to 5 ft, but the period is short – mostly 6 to 8 seconds – so it’s weak, wind-driven junk. The combined wave energy stays low, sitting between 96 and 370 (weak to moderate), which is nothing to get excited about.
This break is a reef that rarely breaks and is inconsistent. It’s exposed to the east swell, but the wind is never right. The optimum swell direction is from the northeast, and we’re stuck with easterly swell, which isn’t ideal. The water temperature is 81° with a 1° anomaly, so it’s about average for this time of year – warm but not special.
From Friday 28 August through to Saturday 12 September, it’s all poor surf conditions. There are no standout days. The first week has a bit more swell energy, but the wind ruins it. The second week sees the swell drop even more, with energy values falling below 200. The wind picks up to 19 mph on the 10th and 11th, making it even lumpier.
Honestly, if you’re looking for something to do, the wind and the beach-and-reef setup here would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For now, leave the boards in the car.
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.
