The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at what we've got for Sororoca. Let's be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead. This spot is a reef setup that only rarely breaks, and through this whole 16-day window, it's just not cooperating. The wind is locked in from the southeast, staying cross-onshore the entire time, chewing up the surface and making it messy. There's no standout period, no real lull in the breeze.
The first day we see any surf is Monday, September 7th, with a weak 3ft swell from the east at a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is very low (132). That's the story for the entire first week: swell heights bob around 3ft to 5ft, period stays short at 6-8 seconds, and that cross-onshore wind never lets up. Water temps are about average for this time of year, but with conditions like these, you won't be in the water long enough to feel it.
This pattern of poor surf, described as "poor surf conditions" with "moderate cross-onshore and choppy" continues day after day, right through until Monday, September 21st and Tuesday, September 22nd. The combined energy climbs a bit, hitting around 288 (moderate) on Thursday the 10th, but that's all the goodness of the swell wasted by the wind. For a reef that rarely turns on anyway, this is a full-on blank run. There's nothing here for a paddle surfer; if you’ve got a kite, the consistent cross-onshore breeze might make for a more interesting session than a messy, blown-out surf.
I’d say sit this one out. Forecasts can always shift, but right now, there’s no light at the end of this tunnel.
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.
