The Lowdown
Righto, let’s see what we’ve got for this stretch. The only break in the window is Sororoca, a reef setup that rarely breaks. To be honest, the 16-day outlook is a pretty barren run. There’s a slight flicker of life right at the very end, but for the bulk of this period, you’re looking at a whole lot of nothing.
We start on Friday the 24th of July with a bit of swell showing—6ft from the ESE at 8 seconds, combined energy at 609 (moderate). But it’s cross-shore wind and rain and the wave comment says it’s marginal, so nothing to get excited about. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th see the swell drop and the wind stays messy. From Monday the 27th right through to Friday the 31st, the swell is tiny, under 4ft, with weak energy readings mostly under 100 or just over. That’s a solid week of flat to hopeless conditions. The first week of August doesn’t offer any real reprieve either—Saturday the 1st bumps up to 5ft but with fresh cross-shore wind making it lumpy. The pattern of poor surf and moderate onshore or cross-shore wind continues day after day.
Now, the one true standout—and it’s a late one. On Saturday the 8th of August, things change. The morning shows a 10ft swell from the SE with an 11-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2491, which is strong. That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is cross-shore at 12 mph with rain showers, and the forecast confidence is lower this far out, but for a break that rarely breaks, this is the only real window. The swell direction is ESE, but the guidance says this reef works best with swell from the NE, so it’s not a perfect match. Still, for anyone willing to wait, this is the only chance at something surfable.
The water temperature is 80°F with an anomaly of 0.5°F—so pretty much average for this time of year.
Crowds are listed as sometimes possible, but given how rarely this place breaks, when it does, you can bet a few locals will be on it.
So, honestly? If you’re not looking at Saturday the 8th of August, you’re not looking at anything. A long, quiet run for Sororoca.

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.
