The Lowdown
Right. Gotta be straight with you. The outlook for Sororoca over the next 16 days is pretty grim. The finder shows no decent surf options at all. Everything is being written off as "poor surf conditions" right through to the 5th of September, so we’re looking at a solid blank run for the whole forecast window.
Sororoca is a reef setup, but it rarely breaks as it is, and this stretch doesn’t change that. The swell is hanging around 3 ft to 5 ft, coming from the ESE and E, but the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, wind-swell energy with no power. The combined swell energy hits moderate values here and there, like 287 on the 31st of August morning and 287 again on the 3rd of September afternoon, but those numbers don’t count for much when the wind is all wrong.
And the wind is the real killer. It’s cross or cross-onshore from the SE and ESE every day, blowing at 12 to 19 mph. That’s putting a chop all over it. No clean, glassy windows. No offshore. For a break that’s exposed and needs the right swell direction, this is just a no-go.
Given the consistent poor quality, the persistent onshore wind, and the beach-and-reef setup here, honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s nothing to get excited about for a surfer. A blank run like this is pretty normal for this area – it tends to stay poor when it gets stuck in this pattern.

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.
