The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s call it as it is. The outlook for the next sixteen days is a tough one.
Gotta be straight with you – there’s no good surf on the table for this spot, Sororoca. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. From now until at least the 9th of September, every session is a dud. The swell is tiny and weak, the wind is a mess, and the break itself, a reef setup that rarely breaks, is living up to its reputation. The water temperature is sitting at about 81°F, which is normal for the time of year – nothing unusual there.
We start Tuesday the 25th of August with a weak easterly swell at 5ft, a short period of 8 seconds, and only a weak 230 combined energy. The wind is a cross-shore from the SSE, which just messes up the face. It’s a write-off. Wednesday the 26th sees a jump in combined energy to 407, which is moderate, but the swell is still a short-period 7 seconds from the ESE, and the wind turns cross-onshore, creating chop. It doesn't get any better.
Thursday the 27th through Monday the 1st of September is the same miserable story: easterly chop, cross-onshore winds between 12-16 mph, and combined energy hanging around the 200-300 range. The wave heights stay between 4ft and 5ft, but the quality is non-existent. This is not for paddling; with significant swell, poor quality, and a reef setup that’s exposed, this looks far more interesting for kite surfing than for a regular surf.
The second week, from Tuesday the 2nd to Wednesday the 9th of September, is just more of the same. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, the swell stays short and weak, and the wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” There is not a single standout moment. No session breaks the mould.
Honestly, for an area with a break that rarely works, this blank run is pretty normal. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Keep the board waxed and wait for a proper pulse.
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.
