The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the coming weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough outlook. The only spot we've got recommendations for is Sororoca, and it's a real frustrating one.
Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and looking at the next 16 days, it's staying true to its name. The problem isn't a lack of swell; there's plenty of energy in the water. We start off with a weak 89 (moderate energy) on Sunday the 23rd, and it builds to a strong 455 (moderate energy) by Thursday the 27th, but it's all for nothing. The wind is a nightmare. From Sunday the 23rd right through to the end of the first week, it's a persistent cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze from the SE or ESE, mostly at 12 to 19 mph. That's putting a chop on everything and making it a complete mess. The swell is short period too, mostly 7 seconds, so the waves are just weak and crumbly.
The water temp is sitting at a balmy 80°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that's the only thing that's average.
By the second week, into September, the pattern doesn't let up. The swell height stays between 3 ft and 5 ft, with the energy levels picking up, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. The period stretches to 9 seconds on the 2nd of September, giving it a bit more push, but it's still a choppy, lumpy mess.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, it's a write-off. With the persistent onshore wind and the short-period, messy swell, Sororoca is looking more like a kiteboarding spot than a surf spot. The conditions are just all wrong for a clean paddle. It's a blank run, and unfortunately for this area, that's not unusual when the wind doesn't play ball.
Rusty out.

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.
