The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the cards for Sororoca.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this outlook is a tough one. There’s no good surf on the horizon for the next 16 days. Not a single standout window. The whole period from Saturday the 22nd of August right through to Sunday the 6th of September is a write-off for quality waves at this break. That’s a long dry spell, and it’s pretty normal for a spot that only rarely breaks.
The issue isn’t a lack of swell. In fact, there’s a persistent easterly swell running, with wave heights bouncing between 3 ft and 6 ft through the whole period. The combined energy of all swells directed here starts weak at 94 and builds into moderate territory, hitting a strong 404 by the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. So there’s plenty of water moving around. But the wind just won’t play ball.
It’s a constant story of moderate to fresh cross-shore and cross-onshore winds from the SE and ESE, churning the ocean into a lumpy, choppy mess. The swell period is short – only 6 to 8 seconds – so there’s no real power or shape to the lines. The water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re watching the chaos.
Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and this 16-day window proves why. The optimum swell direction is NE, but the forecast is pumping in E to ESE swell, which isn’t what this spot wants. With consistent onshore and cross-shore wind, the waves will stay chopped out and messy. There’s nothing here for a paddler. Honestly, with the steady wind and the size of the swell, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Stay patient. Forecasts can change, and a spot this inconsistent can suddenly light up. But for now, leave the boards in the shed.
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.
