The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for our region, and honestly, it’s a tough one to call. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim for getting a decent wave. We’ve got swell, sure, but everything else is working against us.
We’re looking at Sororoca, a reef break that’s exposed to the north-east. Unfortunately, it rarely breaks, and looking at the forecast, I can see why. The whole period starts on Friday the 14th of August and runs all the way through to Saturday the 29th of August, and there isn’t a single session I’d be willing to paddle out for. The swell energy is weak, creeping up into the moderate range around the 16th and 17th with values of 251 and 228, but it’s all wasted. The wind is a constant cross or cross-onshore from the SE or ESE, blowing at 12 to 19 mph, putting a nasty chop on everything. We’re looking at waist to chest-high waves, mostly around 3 ft to 5 ft, but with that wind, it’s just a messy, bumpy, closed-out mess. The period is short too, mostly 6 or 7 seconds, so there’s no power or shape to the swell.
Even on the 16th (Sunday) when we get a slightly longer 12-second period and the energy jumps up a notch, the wind is still a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, making it impossible. That setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Forget about it. There are no standouts, no hidden gems here. It’s a solid 16-day blank run. With a spot that’s as inconsistent as Sororoca, this kind of stretch is more normal for the area. Don’t bother checking the cams for a while. Forecasts can change, but this looks locked in.
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.
