The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a tough stretch. The straight-up truth is, there are no good surf options on the table in this entire 16-day window for Sororoca. The swell's coming in, but the wind just won't play ball, and it's leaving the ocean looking messy.
Let's start with Sunday the 23rd. We've got small swell around 3ft to 4ft from the ESE, but a moderate cross-shore wind from the SE at 15 mph is killing it. The combined swell energy is weak (83) and the period is a short 6 to 7 seconds, so the waves are weak and crumbly. It’s just poor.
Moving into Monday the 24th, the swell bumps up to 5ft, but that wind gets fresher at 18 mph, still cross-shore. The energy picks up to moderate levels (247), but with a fresh breeze and lumpy conditions, it's still a write-off.
Through the rest of the week and into next, the pattern stays stubborn. We see cross-onshore winds from the ESE, blowing around 12 to 18 mph, wave heights hovering between 4ft and 6ft, and a constant moderate wave energy (mostly in the 200-400 range). The swell direction is constantly from the E or ESE, but the optimum for Sororoca is from the NE, so it's never hitting the reef right. Periods stay short at 6 to 8 seconds, so no grunt behind it. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Even into the second week, from the 1st of September onwards, it's the same story. The swell sticks around, with heights up to 6ft on Friday the 4th, bringing strong combined energy (442), but the cross-onshore wind just chops everything up. It's a consistent run of poor conditions.
Look, this spot rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run like this isn't totally abnormal for the area. It's just one of those periods where the wind and swell aren't lining up. Given the persistent cross-shore and cross-onshore breeze with a solid beach/reef setup, this honestly looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone trying to paddle in. Let's hope the forecasts change.

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.
