The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for this stretch. Honestly, it’s a tough run. We’ve got a reef break called Sororoca, but it’s one of those spots that *rarely breaks*, and the next two weeks don’t do it any favours.
Right from Saturday the 29th of August right through to Sunday the 13th of September, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. There’s not one standout or even a day that gets close to a recommendation. The wind is locked in from the east and southeast, mostly cross-onshore at 9 to 19 mph, keeping things choppy and lumpy. The water temp is sitting at 80°F with a 0.9°F anomaly, so about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.
The swell sticks around 3 ft to 6 ft, all coming from the east, with short periods between 6 and 9 seconds – that’s pure windswell, no real power behind it. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best, hitting 125 on the 29th and peaking at 410 on Monday the 31st of August, but with the onshore chop, it’s just messy. The wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions across the board.
Given this is a reef setup, and the conditions are so consistently choppy and cross-onshore, honestly this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s no good option for a surfer in this 16-day window. A blank run like this isn’t unusual for a spot that rarely breaks, so don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
