The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for this stretch of coast. We're gonna have to be patient, because the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. There's no good surf to speak of.
Straight up, the only break on the cards is Sororoca, a reef setup that only rarely breaks. The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wetsuit. For the entire forecast period, from now all the way through to the 11th of September, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. It's a total write-off.
The swell is tiny, never getting above 5ft, and the period is short, usually around 7 or 8 seconds. That's weak, chopped-out wind swell, not the kind of groundswell that gives a reef anything decent. The combined swell energy is weak, never cracking triple digits for a good chunk of the time, and even when it does get up to around 300 to 327, it's still just weak to moderate energy with no power behind it.
On top of that, the wind is a constant problem. It's blowing cross-on from the ESE or SE at 12 to 16 mph, and even hitting 22 mph on the 5th of September. That creates choppy, bumpy conditions every single day. There is no clean window. For a spot that rarely breaks, and needs a specific swell direction from the NE to really work, having a consistent east wind and small, short-period swell is a complete no-go.
If you're a kitesurfer, the persistent cross-onshore wind and choppy 3ft to 5ft waves might be worth a look, but for anyone wanting to paddle out on a surfboard, there is nothing to get excited about. You'd be better off saving your energy and waiting for a better forecast.
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.
