The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what we've got for the Sororoca area.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but there's not a single day in there that I'd be keen to paddle out for. The outlook is pretty grim, with zero surf recommendations the whole time. That's a long stretch of nothing, from July 27th all the way through to August 11th.
The main issue is the wind. It's just relentless. We've got a constant cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze, mostly from the SSE, SE, or ESE at 12 to 19 mph, which is just destroying any chance of a clean face. Even when the swell does show a pulse, like around the 30th of July with a combined energy of (101) or that 587 reading on the 3rd of August, the wind is just too messy to make it work. The swell is mostly short-period stuff, around 6 to 8 seconds, and coming from the ESE or E, which is not the optimum direction for this spot anyway. It's mostly weak to moderate energy, and even when the energy gets strong, the conditions are just poor.
For a break that rarely breaks, and is a reef setup, we need everything to line up perfectly, and it's just not happening. The water temp is about 80°F which is average for the time of year, but that's small comfort when there's no surf to enjoy.
Honestly, with this combo of significant swell on some days and that strong, messy cross-shore wind, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's a blank run, and unfortunately for this area, that's not as unusual as I'd like. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd leave the board at home.
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.
