The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Sororoca.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast shows a long, dry spell for good surf. There isn’t a single recommendation in the 16-day window where the conditions line up for a decent paddle. The entire outlook from Tuesday the 25th of August right through to Wednesday the 9th of September is a bust. That’s a solid two weeks plus of waiting.
The main issue is that for a reef break that needs a clean offshore wind from the WSW to really work, we’re stuck with a persistent cross to cross-onshore flow from the SE and ESE. The wind never lets up, staying a moderate to fresh breeze most days, which just keeps the surface choppy and lumpy. The swell is hanging around 4ft to 5ft from the East, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, disorganised, and lacks any real punch. The combined wave energy is moderate, ranging from 153 to 382, but it’s all wind-affected junk.
There’s a couple of days, like Friday the 4th of September morning and Saturday the 5th of September afternoon, where the wind swings onshore from the East, but the period is still too short (6-8 seconds) and the swell small to make it worthwhile. This break is listed as rarely breaking, and honestly, with this setup, it’s staying that way.
If you were looking for a kite session, the persistent cross-shore wind and bumpy surf might be more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing to get excited about. We’ll have to hope the forecasts change, because this blank run is a tough one for the area.
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.
