The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be real, it's a tough stretch on the cards for us. I've been staring at this forecast for Sororoca and honestly, there's nothing to get excited about. We're looking at a solid 16-day run of poor conditions, so if you've got the itch, maybe pick up a different hobby for a bit.
The only break the models are even bothering to whisper about is Sororoca, a reef setup that "rarely breaks" anyway, which is a sign in itself. The water's sitting at 81°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We start on Wednesday the 22nd of July, and it's a write-off. Rain showers and a cross-shore SE wind at 12 mph on a 4 ft, weak 8-second east swell. The energy is pitiful at 243, and the comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." That afternoon the wind drops a touch but swings cross-onshore, making it even choppier.
Thursday the 23rd is the "best" we get, and that's saying something. Morning has a touch more size at 6 ft from the ESE, but it's a short-period windswell, messy, and the cross-shore wind is still 9 mph. Wave energy jumps to a moderate 647, but it's still labelled as "marginal." If you're absolutely desperate for a paddle, this is the window, but it won't be pretty. The afternoon is a total loss with 12 mph cross-onshore wind.
From there, it's a slow bleed. Friday the 24th starts at 6 ft but drops and stays choppy. The weekend is a joke – Saturday the 25th drops to 3 ft and 3 ft with a risk of thunderstorms on the 25th afternoon. The combined energy is a pathetic 97 by Saturday arvo.
The whole of the next week is the same story: clear skies, but constant cross or cross-onshore winds (9-16 mph) on weak, short-period swell. From Sunday the 26th all the way through to the 30th, the swell height hangs around 3 ft to 4 ft with periods of 6-8 seconds. The energy almost never gets out of the double digits or very low triple digits. It's just a flat, choppy mess. Monday the 3rd of August shows a spike to 5 ft, but it's still cross-shore and labelled "poor." Thursday the 6th of August finishes it off with a pathetic 3 ft and 101 energy.
Look, for a spot like this that "rarely breaks", this blank run is more normal than unusual. It's just one of those periods where the ocean says "not today." Don't force it. The forecasts can change, but right now, there is absolutely 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.
