The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve had a proper look at the charts for Sororoca, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and over the next 16 days, the conditions are just not cooperating. There are no surfable windows on offer. The whole period is plagued by cross-shore or cross-onshore winds, with poor surf conditions flagged on every single row. We’re looking at a blank run from July 28th right through to August 12th with nothing to recommend.
Let’s walk through it. The first few days, from Tuesday the 28th of July into the end of the month, have small, weak swell – mostly around 3ft to 4ft from the ESE with a short period of just 6 to 7 seconds. That’s weak energy. The wind is a persistent cross-shore from the SE or SSE, blowing at 12 to 16 mph, creating a messy cross-chop. Not worth paddling out.
Moving into August, the first weekend sees a bump in swell height to 5ft on Saturday the 1st, but the wind is still a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, so it’s lumpy and poor. Sunday the 2nd and the week that follows show swell hanging around 4ft to 6ft, mostly from the E with a period of 7 to 8 seconds. The wind shifts to a cross-onshore from the SE or ESE, making it choppy. This is a reef break, and with the swell direction from the E and ESE, it’s not matching the optimum NE direction the spot loves. The whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent wind and poor shape.
Water temps are sitting at 80°F, about average for the time of year. No standout days, no clean windows. It’s one of those stretches where the forecasts would need to change dramatically to get anything going. Keep an eye on it, but for now, 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.
