Sororoca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's take a hard look at what we've got for Sororoca.

Straight up, it’s looking rough. This is a reef that rarely breaks, and for the next two weeks, that’s the cold, hard truth. We’re staring down a long stretch of poor conditions with no real surf to get stoked on.

The first few days, from Thursday the 2nd through the weekend, it's all cross-shore wind, gusting 15 to 18 mph. There’s some swell, around 4 to 6 feet from the ESE, but the energy is all messed up. The combined energy hits 509 Thursday afternoon, but it’s all lumpy chop. It’s a messy, frustrating scene.

We get a little glimmer on Monday the 6th. The wind goes cross-offshore in the morning, cleaning things up. We’ve got 6 feet of 8-second ESE swell, with a moderate combined energy of 640. It’s still not good, but it’s the only moment that even sniffs a marginal score. The wind swings back cross-shore by the afternoon, and that’s it.

From Tuesday the 7th on, it’s a slow fade into nothing. By Wednesday the 8th, we’re down to 3 feet, and the energy is barely above 100. It’s a sad, weak cross-shore dribble.

The second week is a total wasteland. From the 9th of July through to the 17th, it’s a non-stop run of poor conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly below 3 feet, with a short, weak period of just 6 to 7 seconds from the east. The wind is a light or moderate cross-onshore breeze, doing nothing for the waves. The combined energy values are in the dumps, between 70 and 143. That’s as weak as it gets.

Honestly, I can’t find a single window in these 16 days to recommend. The one half-decent moment on the morning of Monday the 6th is so short and the overall quality is so poor, it's not worth paddling out for. The water temp is about 81°, which is average for this time of year.

I hate to be the downer, but for Sororoca, this is just a normal blank spell for the area. Forecasts can always change, but as it stands, there’s no surf on offer.
