The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Sororoca is a write-off. There's nothing on the table that's worth paddling out for. The whole stretch is a flat, messy dud, and I'm not just saying that to be dramatic.
The forecast is a long, bleak run of poor surf from Friday the 28th of August all the way through to Saturday the 12th of September. Every single report flags "poor surf conditions." The wind is almost always a cross-onshore breeze, blowing from the ESE or SE at 9 to 22 mph, which just tears the surface apart. The swell is small, hanging between 3 ft and 5 ft, and it's coming from the east with a short, weak period of 5 to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is mostly in the low-to-moderate range, hitting a peak of only 370 on Tuesday the 1st of September, but with those winds, it's all just chop and no shape.
There's literally no standout day. Nothing. The wind does switch to a straight onshore from the east on Wednesday the 2nd of September morning, but that's not going to clean it up. The swell is too weak and the period is too short to make anything of it. Even the water temp sits at a warm 81°, which is about average for this time of year, but that's the only thing that's not disappointing.
Forget about paddle surfing here. With the persistent cross-onshore wind and small, weak swell, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than anything on a surfboard. Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and this forecast proves why – it's just not working. Save your energy and wait for a better run. This is a blank period, and it's a pretty normal one for the area.
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.
