Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sororoca over the next 16 days.
Hey, it's Rusty. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – this forecast is a total dud. The only break we've got on the list is Sororoca, a reef that almost never breaks, so we knew we were up against it. For the full 16 days – from Monday, July 13th all the way through Tuesday, July 28th – every single window is marked as poor surf. That's over two weeks with nothing to get excited about. Water temp feels normal for this time of year at 81°F.
There are just two sessions that even get a "marginal" tag, and that's on July 20th and July 23rd. On the 20th, we're looking at a 6 ft swell from the east-southeast, 8-second period, with a moderate combined energy (557). The wind is cross-shore, so it's lumpy. The 23rd is slightly bigger at 6 ft, same direction and period, a bit more energy (653), but still the same problem – cross-shore wind and a "marginal" tag that really means don't get your hopes up. The swell is coming from the east, but this spot needs a northeast angle to really work, so the direction is off all forecast.
This is a spot for experienced surfers only when it's on, because the swell gets over 5 ft and it's a shallow reef. But with the wind never going offshore, and the swell angle never matching what the break wants, there's no day worth chasing. This kind of dead run is pretty normal for this area – these breaks are fussy, and when the conditions don't click, you're just waiting. The forecasts can always shift, but for now, leave the board in the garage.

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.
