The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real here. I’ve looked over the whole 16-day window for Sororoca, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. Sororoca is a reef setup that rarely breaks, so when it does, you want everything to line up. Unfortunately, the forecast isn’t giving us much love.
We start off Wednesday, August 5th, with a bit of energy in the water—swell coming from ESE at 6 ft, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s gonna be pretty weak and crumbly. The wind is a moderate cross-shore breeze, which is about as good as it gets here, but really it’s just not enough to make it worthwhile. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there—just your usual warm water.
From Wednesday afternoon all the way through to the end of the forecast, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell drops off quickly, and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The swell energy is weak—mostly in the 80–280 range, with a couple of days touching 300–400, but even then the period stays short and the wind kills any chance of a clean wave. There’s not a single standout day. The best you could hope for is maybe a glimmer of hope on the 11th early morning, when the swell picks up to 5 ft and the energy hits 392, but it’s still a short period cross-shore mess. Honestly, it’s not looking good for paddle surfing.
Because of the constant wind and generally poor wave quality, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re set on a wave, keep your expectations low. The forecast is reliable for the near term, and it’s one of those blank runs that’s normal for this area—just not the time to plan a trip around.

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.
