Sororoca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks at Sororoca.

Honestly, it’s a pretty tough run ahead. Sororoca is a reef setup that rarely breaks, and unfortunately for this whole 16-day window, there’s just no surf worth paddling out for. The forecast is littered with poor conditions day after day, and the quality scores are flat. The first few days of July kick off with some waist-high swell around 5 ft from the SE on Monday morning, but the wind is a cross-off, and the whole thing feels marginal – the combined energy is moderate (452), but it’s just not coming together. From there, it’s a long stretch of nothing.

We’ve got a solid run of poor surf from Monday afternoon right through to Sunday the 21st of July. The swell stays small, mostly under 5 ft, with short, weak periods around 6 to 8 seconds, and the wind is nearly always cross or cross-onshore, making things choppy and lumpy. There are a few mornings where it cleans up slightly, but the swell is too small and period too short to get excited about. The water temp is about normal for this time of year at 81°.

The only real blip of energy shows up on Monday the 20th of July afternoon, when the swell bumps up to 7 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 783. But the wave comment says poor, and the wind is cross-shore with chop – it’s more likely to be a messy, powerful closeout that’s better suited to kite surfing than a paddle. Even then, the reef rarely breaks, so don’t count on it.

Basically, this is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for this spot. There’s no standout session in the whole outlook. I’d keep an eye on the forecasts – sometimes things turn around quick. But for now, the board’s staying in the bag.

Rusty.
