The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what Sororoca's got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm scratching my head a bit. This setup's a tough one to get excited about. The outlook is grim for any decent paddle surfing across the whole 16-day window. We're looking at a real flat spell here with no real standouts to speak of. The water's sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so you can't even blame a weird temperature for the lack of action.
The whole run is a write-off. From the 29th of July right through to the 13th of August, every single session is marked by poor surf conditions. The swell's coming in from the ESE, but the periods are short—mostly 6 to 8 seconds—meaning it's messy, weak windswell that can't get its act together. The combined wave energy fluctuates a bit, hitting a moderate 376 on the 2nd of August and a stronger 700 on the 5th of August, but it doesn't matter because the wind is just ruining everything. It's cross-shore or cross-onshore the whole way, with a moderate to fresh breeze that keeps things choppy and bumpy. Even though we get a little clean spell on the morning of the 31st of July, the swell is still too small and weak to bother with.
The swell does push up to 6 ft on the 5th of August, but with that cross-onshore wind, it's just a lumpy, blown-out mess. Short period (8 seconds) and a strong southeast wind mean it's not going to hold any shape. For any experienced surfers, the size might look tempting on paper, but the quality is just not there. Given the persistent onshore wind and the size, this might actually be more interesting for the kite crew than anyone on a paddle board.
So, the call is simple: don't bother packing the boards. This is a long stretch of nothing. But hey, forecasts change, and with Sororoca being an exposed reef, it can fire when the stars align. Just not this time.
Stay salty,
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.
