The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Sororoca over the next 16 days is a tough one. This spot rarely breaks as it is, and the conditions we’ve got lined up just aren't doing it any favours. We’re looking at a real dry spell here, with nothing worth paddling out for across the entire forecast period.
From Sunday the 9th of August through to Monday the 24th of August, every session is showing poor surf conditions. The wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, blowing at 9 to 19 mph, which is going to leave the surface chopped up and messy. Swell heights bob around between 2 ft and 5 ft, coming mostly from the east or southeast, with short periods of 6 to 11 seconds. That means weak, weak energy – the combined swell energy mostly sits between 79 and 269 (moderate at its best), but with the constant breeze on it, it’s not going to translate into any kind of rideable shape. Even when the period stretches to 11 seconds on the 17th of August, that longer-period groundswell will break too straight for a beach setup like this, and with the cross-onshore wind, it’s a write-off anyway.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, which is no surprise. But with no decent swell and rubbish wind, that's small comfort.
To be honest, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle. The energy is there, but the quality is shot. A blank run like this is more normal for this area, so don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, Sororoca is a no-go for the full 16 days.
Stay tuned, and we'll see if anything shifts.

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.
