The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Sororoca is a reef break that’s exposed to the swell but rarely breaks, and over the next 16 days, every single session is a bust. From Saturday, August 8th, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the east, a weak 6-second period, and cross-onshore winds at 12 mph. The combined energy is a measly 67 (weak), and the water’s a warm 80°, which is about average for this time of year. But it’s choppy and messy—total poor conditions.
The first week sees a little bump: on Tuesday, August 11th, the swell hits 5ft with a 7-second period, but cross-shore winds at 16 mph create a lumpy cross-chop. Energy climbs to 442 (moderate), but it’s still no good. By Thursday, August 13th, we’re at 4ft, cross-shore winds, and a moderate breeze. The second week stays small: east swells from 2ft to 4ft, short periods (5-7 seconds), and persistent cross-onshore or cross winds. Even on Sunday, August 16th, when the period stretches to 12 seconds, the swell is only 2ft and the wind’s cross-onshore at 12 mph. Energy hits 222 (moderate), but the conditions are still poor.
There’s a long stretch of nothing, and by the end—Wednesday, August 19th, through Sunday, August 23rd—we’re looking at 3ft to 4ft swells, short periods, and onshore or cross-onshore winds. Energy stays weak to moderate (50-187). Honestly, this is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session, given the consistent wind and small, choppy waves. Sororoca rarely breaks, and with this forecast, it’s a total blank run. Not unusual for this area, but don’t hold your breath. Check back later, but for now, it’s a no-go.

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.
