The Lowdown

Alright, let’s lay it out plain. This 16-day window for Sororoca is a total bummer. There’s no decent surf on the cards. The first chance comes on Wednesday, 26 August, and it’s not worth the drive.

Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and it’s for intermediate surfers. The water is 81°, which is right on the money for this time of year. But the wind is the problem – it’s cross to cross-onshore from the ESE and SE, blowing 12 to 16 mph, kicking up a nasty cross-chop and choppy conditions. The swell is small, running 3 ft to 5 ft, from the E or ESE, with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds – weak, wind-driven junk. The combined energy is moderate, between 146 and 397 units, but it’s all poor surf quality.

There’s a tease in the long range on Wednesday, 9 September, with a 5 ft swell from the ESE and a period of 15 seconds, pumping the combined energy up to 1219 units – that’s a strong pulse. But the wind is still cross-on at 12 mph, and the forecast still says “poor surf conditions.” That kind of groundswell at a reef could be beautiful with offshore wind, but it’s not.

So, there it is. A full 16 days with nothing to recommend. It’s a dry spell, and for this spot, that’s pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car.

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.
