The Lowdown
Gotta be straight with you—this stretch is looking pretty dead for now. We’ve got a 16-day window, but there’s nothing rideable on the board until the pattern shifts. Right now, Sororoca is the only spot in the mix, but it’s a rare-breaker that’s barely winking at us, and the wind’s messy.
Starting today, August 9th, through the end of the first week, it’s all cross and cross-on shore breezes, 9–19 mph, with waves running 2ft to 5ft, mostly short-period 6–8 seconds. The energy’s weak most days—like 89 to 198 in the combined swell—except for a bump on the 11th morning where it climbs to 383, but that’s still poor quality, lumpy and chopped up. Honestly, the water’s warm at 81°, about normal for this time of year, but that don’t help the surf.
The 16th brings a little longer period—12 seconds—but only 2ft and cross-on winds with a storm risk. Not worth paddling out. The 22nd and 23rd finally flip to onshore winds, which is something, but it’s still small and weak—3ft, periods around 6–7 seconds, energy barely scraping past 100. That’s not surf, that’s just bump.
Bottom line: there are no good options in this whole stretch. Sororoca’s rarely breaking, and when it does, it’s a mess. But hey, it’s a spot that can come alive when the conditions line up—it’s exposed and wants NE swell—so don’t lose hope. Forecasts can shift, and this blank run won’t last forever. Keep an eye on the longer range, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.

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.
