The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk Sororoca in feet and degrees.
Look, I’m gonna level with you – this 16-day stretch from Monday, 27 July to Tuesday, 11 August is a total dud. The whole forecast is nothing but "poor surf conditions". No standouts, no hope. Sororoca is a reef that almost never breaks, and these charts prove why.
The combined swell energy does tick up to 241 (moderate) on Saturday, 1 August, and even hits 369 (moderate) on Sunday, 2 August, with wave heights around 5 ft. But the wind is a constant buzzkill – a steady cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze from the SE at 12 to 15 mph, making everything choppy and ugly. The swell is coming from the ESE to E with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds – that’s junk windswell, not a groundswell. The water temp is about 80°, which is normal for the time of year.
Even when it gets a little bigger that weekend, the wind is ruining it. A 5 ft wave with a short period and side wind is just a messy, lumpy pile of nothing. The only clean moment is on Saturday, 8 August morning, when the wind goes cross-offshore from the S at 15 mph, but the wave is a pathetic 3 ft from the E with weak energy (79 – low) and a short period. It’s a skimboard session at best.
For a spot that’s "rarely breaks", this long blank run is actually pretty normal for the area. There’s simply no surf worth paddling for. But hey, things can turn quick around here. Don’t write it off forever – just for these two weeks.
Rusty out.

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.
