Acacia sophorae is a prostrate shrub when growing on exposed coastal dunes but may grow as a large shrub to 2-3 metres in height (sometimes taller) in more sheltered locations. Like most members of the genus, the mature plant does not have true leaves but has leaf-like flattened stems called phyllodes.

In A.sophorae the phyllodes are oval shaped between 5 and 10 cm long with prominent longitudal veins. The bright yellow flowers occur in the axils of the phyllodes as elongated spikes up to 50 mm long. Flowering is mainly in late winter and spring.
