Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sororoca over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a real tough watch for this neck of the woods at Sororoca. It’s a reef break that rarely breaks, and for the whole 16-day run, the conditions are just not cooperating.
We kick off on Thursday the 9th, and right through to the 23rd of July, it’s a grim picture. The wind is stuck cross-on or onshore from the ESE and SE, blowing at 12 to 16 mph nearly the whole time. The swell hanging around 3 ft to 4 ft from the east doesn’t have enough grunt to overcome the chop. The wave energy is mostly low to moderate, but it doesn’t matter because the quality is shot. We’re looking at poor, choppy surf day after day. Expect a long, frustrating gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
There is one day that almost sneaks through. On Friday the 24th of July, in the morning, the wind shifts to a gentle 9 mph from the SSE, going cross-shore and delivering a bit of relief. The swell picks up too, to 6 ft from the SE with a period of 9 seconds. The energy ramps up strong. But the forecast just calls it marginal, and by the afternoon the wind goes back cross-on and the wave comment turns sour again. It’s not a stand-out, just a brief moment in a long flat or messy run.
For an area like this, a blank run like this is pretty normal. The swell direction is mostly off from the optimum (NE), and the winds are relentless. If you’re determined to get wet, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than traditional paddle surfing through this period. Conditions can always change, but right now, it’s a no-go. Rusty signing off.

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.
