The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Sororoca is a tough one. The forecast shows a real dry spell with no good surf on offer across the entire 16-day window, from Friday the 31st of July right through to Saturday the 15th of August. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions, so there’s nothing to get excited about.
Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and this forecast explains why. The swell is mostly small, ranging from 3 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is a killer – it’s cross or cross-onshore nearly every day, usually with a moderate to fresh breeze (9 to 22 mph). That’s making everything lumpy and choppy. Even when the swell picks up a bit, like on the afternoon of Tuesday the 4th of August with 6 ft from the ESE and a combined energy of 672 (moderate energy), the cross-onshore wind and chop ruin it. The swell period is short too, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, windswept stuff.
The water temperature sits at 81°F with a 1°F anomaly, pretty average for this time of year. The optimum swell direction for Sororoca is NE, but we’re getting SE, ESE, and E swells, so nothing’s lining up right.
Look, it’s a blank run – no standout days, no clean windows. If you’re desperate, the morning of Saturday the 15th of August has the gentlest wind (9 mph, cross-shore, slight cross-chop) and 4 ft from the E, but it’s still poor. For a spot that rarely breaks and is inconsistent, this drought is pretty normal. Stick to the flat spells – forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
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.
