The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the coming weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a 16-day window, but there's not a single good surf option showing up. That's a long gap, and it's a bit of a heartbreaker for anyone in the area. The one spot we've got to watch, Sororoca, is a reef break that rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run like this, while frustrating, isn't entirely out of the ordinary for this setup.
The water is sitting at a warm 81°, which is about normal for this time of year, so you can't blame the temperature for the lack of action.
Let's break it down. For the whole forecast, from Wednesday, September 2nd, right through to Thursday, September 17th, it's all the same story. Every day brings a cross-onshore wind, mostly from the ESE or SE, blowing anywhere from 9 mph to 19 mph. That's going to chop up any surface and leave it messy. The swell is a constant stream of small, short-period E or ESE swell, barely cracking 4 ft, with periods mostly between 6 and 9 seconds. The combined energy of all swells stays weak to moderate at best, hovering around just a couple of hundred (242) at the start and even dropping into double digits (81) on the morning of the 8th. The wave comment is the same every single day: "poor surf conditions." There's no standout, no hidden gem, no window of opportunity.
If you're absolutely desperate and the wind swings onshore like it's showing, the setup at a beach break would be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, but that's not much comfort. The only thing to do is wait for the forecasts to change, because it can't stay this poor forever.
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.
