The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gotta be honest with you – looking at Sororoca for the next couple of weeks, there’s just nothing doing. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and this forecast does nothing to change that. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window.
From Sunday, July 26th, the first week is flat and foul. We’re talking tiny waves around 0.9 ft to 1 ft from the E and ESE, with a short period of 6-7 seconds. The wave energy is barely registering, with numbers in the weak range. The wind is a steady cross-shore from the SSE and SE at 12-13 mph, putting a chop on everything. Even when Monday brings a little more energy, it’s still cross and crummy.
Going into August, the swell tries to pick up. On Saturday the 1st, the waves push to 2 ft from the E, and the energy climbs a bit, but the wind jumps to 19 mph out of the SE, turning the ocean lumpy. Not a wave worth paddling for.
The week of August 3rd to the 9th brings the biggest energy of the entire period. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th show combined energy values in the strong range, with wave heights up to 2 ft from the ESE. But the period is still short, around 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore from the ESE at 9-15 mph. That makes for choppy, bumpy conditions. For an exposed reef that’s rarely breaking, this is a total loss. With that kind of swell, poor quality, and the persistent cross-onshore wind, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing.
The final few days, from August 9th onward, the wind stays fresh out of the SE at 19 mph, with waves from 1 ft to 2 ft, but the lump and chop never let up. Every single entry in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions. There is no standout here.
Water temperature sits around 80°, which is about normal for this time of year. Not that it helps, with the waves in this state.
This kind of dry spell is more normal for an area where the break is inconsistent. Forecasts can change, but in this window, there’s nothing to recommend.
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.
