The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a rare-breaks reef out there, Sororoca, but the conditions are just not lining up for a good paddle. There’s a big gap of poor surf ahead, so you might want to find something else to do for a while.
The first chance for a surf is on Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the ESE, but it’s coming with a short 8 second period. The wind is a cross-shore from the SSE at 16 mph, making for a cross-chop. The energy is moderate (531). It’s not clean, it’s not good, and the report says it’s marginal at best. Honestly, it’s a write-off.
After that, from Wednesday afternoon right through the rest of the 16-day window, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. The swell hangs around mostly between 2ft and 5ft, but the wind is always cross-on or cross-shore, and the periods are short, mostly under 8 seconds. The energy remains weak to moderate (between 67 and 484). The 15th of August Saturday afternoon sees a bump in period to 13 seconds, but it’s cross-on from the ESE at 12 mph, and the swell is only 2ft – not worth the paddle out. The following days see a little more period (12-13 seconds) but the swell is tiny and the wind is still messy.
There are no standout sessions here. With the swell rarely over 5ft, it’s not too big for anyone, but the quality is just not there. For a spot that rarely breaks, a blank run like this is more normal for the area. The forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’re into that.

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.
