The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the static and get real about Sororoca.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch isn’t one for the quiver, it’s one for the coffee shop. For the next 16 days, this reef break is a tough sell. It's a reef set-up that’s exposed to the swell, and it’s facing a very frustrating pattern. The wind stays stubbornly cross-shore for the vast majority of the period, meaning a constant cross-chop and bumpy surface. The swell energy (594) on the morning of Friday the 24th is moderate, but the wind is already messing it up. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about normal for the time of year with a tiny warm anomaly (0.5°).
Honestly, the whole run from Friday the 24th right through to Saturday the 8th of August is nothing but a write-off. We’re looking at two full weeks of "poor surf conditions" on every single report. The swell heights bob around from 3 ft up to 6 ft, but with a short 6 to 8 second period and that persistent cross-breeze, the wave quality just isn’t there. The wind is picking up from the SSE and SE, mostly cross-shore, with a few spells of a fresh breeze on the 1st and 6th of August making it lumpy. The waves will be weak and crumbly at best.
There isn’t a single standout day here. You could squint at the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August, where the swell pushes to 6 ft from the ESE with a moderate energy (684) and an 8-second period. The report says "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions", so it’s a big gamble. Even then, the wind is still cross-shore and choppy. That’s not surf, that’s a messy workout. For this reef, which "rarely breaks" anyway, the stars are just not aligned.
So, flat spell. Pack your wax away for a fortnight. Things can change, but as it stands, this is a blank run for the charts. Stay patient.
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.
