The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is: The outlook for Sororoca over the next 16 days is a tough one to write. The pattern is the same day after day – we’ve got waves, but the wind just won’t play nice. There’s literally no standout session in the whole window, so I’m going to run you through what’s on offer and why you might want to keep the board in the car.
From Friday the 11th of September right through to the end of the first week, it’s a story of persistent cross-onshore winds. The swell is there, around the 3 ft to 4 ft, mostly from the east, but with periods hanging around just 6 to 8 seconds, it’s weak, short-period chop. The combined energy is moderate at best, sitting between 106 and 240 – that’s a lot of churned-up water with no real power behind it. Every single session is labelled “poor surf conditions,” and I can’t argue with that. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels nice on the skin, but won’t save the surf.
Heading into the second week, from around the 18th of September, the wind eases a touch, but it stays cross-on. The swell is still small, running 3 ft to 4 ft, and those periods are stuck at 6 to 7 seconds, so the energy is still weak to moderate (90 to 173). There’s a slight change around the 23rd and 24th of September when the wind actually turns onshore from the ENE at a lighter 9 mph, but the energy remains low and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” It’s a reef break that rarely breaks, and this period is proving why.
The last few days, the 25th and 26th of September, see a slight bump in swell up to 5 ft, and the combined energy pushes into the moderate zone around 244, but the wind is fresh and cross-onshore, making it lumpy and unappealing for a paddle. With that swell size and those winds, the setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The bottom line: there are no good surf options in the 16-day window. Sororoca rarely breaks as it is, and when it does, the wind is ruining it. Don’t hold your breath – forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.
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.
