The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for your local stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a real flat spell with no real standouts to get excited about. The only break in the mix is Sororoca, a reef setup that barely ever breaks, and even when it does, the conditions are just not cooperating.
Starting on Friday, September 4th, the swell is coming from the ESE at about 4ft, but with a cross-onshore wind at 15 mph, it's choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak at 264, and the water's sitting at 81°, which is about normal for this time of year. It's just poor surf conditions. That pattern sticks around for days. Saturday the 5th is smaller, down to 3ft, with the same onshore wind, and the energy drops to 142. Sunday the 6th is even smaller, barely 3ft, and the energy is a measly 95. It's all chop and no shape.
We get a little bump on Monday the 7th with the wind turning onshore from the E at 9 mph, and the swell holding at 3ft, but it's still poor surf conditions. Through the rest of the first week and into the second, it's the same story: anywhere from 3ft to 5ft of E to ESE swell, but the wind is constantly cross-onshore or cross-shore at 12 to 18 mph, keeping the surface lumpy and choppy. The energy does climb a bit, hitting 237 on Thursday the 10th and 267 on Friday the 11th, but with the poor conditions, it's not surfable.
Looking further out, nothing changes. The swell sticks around the 5ft to 6ft range through the 19th, and the wind stays relentless. The energy finally pushes up to 360 on Saturday the 19th, but it's still cross-onshore and choppy. This break is rarely consistent, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area. Honestly, with that persistent cross-onshore wind and the reef setup, this looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle surf. The swells are there, but the quality just isn't. Keep your eye on the charts, it tends not to stay poor for long.
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.
