The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the outlook for Sororoca. It's a bit of a tough stretch ahead, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it. The forecast is pretty much a write-off for the next two weeks plus. Every single period in the forecast is marked as "poor surf conditions," and that's across the board. There are zero recommended sessions in the next 16 days, so if you're hanging for a wave, you might want to find a skateboard or a book.

First, let's get the lay of the land for the opening days. Sororoca (East Coast) is a reef break that rarely breaks, and even when it does, it usually has its moments, but not this time. For Sunday the 30th, we're looking at a weak 4ft of wind swell coming from the ESE with a short, crumbly 6-second period. The energy is weak, only 133, which points to a pretty gutless ocean. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is right on the money for this time of year, so no surprises there. But with a moderate cross-shore breeze that's kicking up a cross-chop, it's going to be messy and uninviting. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore for the entire window, coming from the E and ESE, and it never really drops out.

As we move into the middle of next week, the swell bumps up a touch. Monday the 31st sees 6ft from the east at 8 seconds, with the energy jumping into the "moderate" range at 410. But it's all for nothing. That clean east swell is getting destroyed by a 25 km/h cross-onshore wind, creating a proper chop. This is that classic case where there's swell in the water but it's totally unsurfable. Over the next few days, the swell hovers around 4ft to 5ft, but the period stays short, between 8 and 9 seconds, and that cross-onshore wind is relentless. It's all lumpy, choppy, and blown out.

The second week follows the same sad pattern. The swell slowly fades, with most days seeing around 3ft of short-period easterly slop. The energy levels stay in the weak to moderate range, but the wind just won't give us a break. It's cross-onshore from the SE or ESE, sometimes picking up to a fresh breeze, which just turns the ocean into washing machine chaos. There's one little window on the 10th when the breeze eases to a gentle 15 km/h, but the swell is still just 4ft and still from the east. It's a whole lot of nothing.

So here's the long and short of it. There is no standout session in this entire 16-day window. What we have is a beach-and-reef setup with persistent onshore winds and a series of short-period swells that just don't have the grunt. With the strong wind and the choppy, poor quality surf, I gotta be honest: this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Don't force it. Sometimes the ocean just tells you to sit this one out. I'll be keeping an eye on the charts, but for now, it's a no-go.

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.
