Alright, let me tell you about the outlook for Sororoca. Honestly, it’s a bit of a bummer looking at this 16-day stretch. We get a bit of swell rolling in, but the wind and conditions are fighting us the whole way.
For a wave that’s already a rare-breaks reef setup, we need the stars to align, and they just aren’t from the forecast. The energy in the water ramps up this Friday and through the weekend, with a moderate combined swell energy hitting around 507 to 995 (moderate), with waves around 6ft to 7ft coming from the ESE. That’s actually some decent size here, but the wind is all wrong. It’s a cross or cross-shore breeze from the SE and SSE, blowing at 12 to 19 mph, just ruining any chance of clean waves. Friday and Saturday are a write-off with those rain showers and thunderstorms messing with the surface, and it’s gonna be lumpy and chopped up.
The water temp is about average for this time of year. Nothing weird going on there.
We do get a glimmer on Monday morning, July 6th. The wind swings to a cross-offshore from the S at 12 mph, and the forecast is for some clouds, clearing things up. The swell is still rolling at 5ft from the ESE with a short 8-second period, but the combined energy is moderate at 595. It might just be rideable and clean. I’d say that’s the only window where it’s worth even looking at the water. But even then, it’s a marginal call and not a standout.
From there, it gets grim. The swell drops off quickly, dropping under 3ft by mid-week, and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore from the E and ESE for day after day. Poor, weak, choppy conditions. There’s a solid gap from Tuesday, July 7th all the way through to Friday, July 17th with nothing worth paddling out for. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy dipping into the double digits, and the period is a short 6 to 7 seconds.
Late in the run, around Friday, July 17th, we see a little bump back to 5ft from the E, but the period is still short, and the wind is back to a messy cross-shore. Still not recommended.
So, the honest truth is: if you're a kite surfer, those solid cross-shore winds on the bigger swell days might look fun. For a surfer, it’s a dry spell. With a break that rarely fires anyway, this kind of blank run is pretty typical for Sororoca. Don’t hold your breath, just keep an eye on the forecasts – it never stays poor forever.

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.
