The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. I've been pore over the maps for your local patch, and I've got to level with you – it's a bleak outlook. The whole 16-day window is a total bust. There's not a single session worth paddling out for.
Let's break it down. The only spot in the frame is Sororoca, a reef break that's open to the swell. But it's a shy one, rarely breaking, and the forecast shows why. The swell is coming from the east, but it really needs to be from the northeast to work. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, in the low hundreds, barely enough to get a wave. Even when it bumps up a little, the wind is a disaster.
You've got a constant cross-onshore breeze, mostly from the east and southeast, blowing at 12 to 18 mph, which is churning the surface into a horrid chop. The forecast is calling it "poor surf conditions" every single day, from the 3rd of September all the way through. Water's about 81°F, a little warmer than usual for this time of year, but you won't be feeling it.
This kind of dead run isn't unheard of around here. The swell direction is wrong, the wind is cruel, and the break is a rare one. If you're a kite surfer, the wind is consistent, but for a paddle surfer, there's nothing doing. It's a long, dry spell. Keep your eyes peeled, but for now, don't bother.
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.
