The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window staring us down, and from the looks of it, there’s no green light on the horizon for a proper paddle. The first record starts on the 4th of September, but don’t get your hopes up.
The only spot in the frame is Sororoca, a reef break that rarely shows its face. The whole period is a long, frustrating stretch of poor surf conditions. From Friday the 4th all the way through to Saturday the 19th of September, every single session is marked as poor. That’s a solid 16-day gap with no recommendation. The issue is a persistent moderate breeze from the east-southeast, blowing cross-onshore, chopping everything up. Wave heights bob around from 2.3 ft to 5.9 ft, but the wind just won’t give you a break.
The swell is generally weak to moderate, with combined energy values ranging from 98 (weak) up to 399 (moderate) on the 12th of September. That morning of the 12th sees the biggest swell of the period at 5.9 ft from the east with a period of 7 seconds, offering a combined energy of 399. But even then, the wind is a cross-onshore mess. The swell direction is mostly east to east-southeast, which is not what this break wants. For Sororoca, the optimum swell direction is from the northeast, so the angle is off, meaning the shape won’t be there.
The water temperature is sitting at 81.0°F with a positive anomaly of 1.6°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Nothing unusual there.
Look, I know it’s a bummer, but when a break like Sororoca is this inconsistent and the wind is onshore for the entire run, you just have to call it. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards 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.
