The Lowdown
Right, I’ll level with you – it’s a pretty grim outlook for the next couple of weeks at Sororoca (reef). If you’re holding out for a clean, rideable wave, you might be in for a long wait. The file shows no decent surf options at all across the entire 16-day window. Every single time slot is marked as “poor surf conditions,” which is a real bummer.
The trouble is a combination of factors. The swell is coming in from the east-southeast, which is fine, but the wind is a big letdown. From the start on Saturday, July 18th, right through to the end of the forecast, it’s a constant cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze, mostly from the southeast. That’s going to leave the surface lumpy and choppy, making it hard to find a clean face. The swell energy is moderate at best, hitting around 526 (combined energy) for the first afternoon, but it’s a short-period 8-second wind swell, so it’ll lack any real punch or shape. Water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is about average for the time of year.
There’s a glimmer of lighter winds on Thursday, July 23rd, with a gentle breeze, but it’s still cross-onshore and the swell drops off to just 3ft. Not enough to get excited about. The following week, through the end of July and into August, the pattern holds – moderate breezes and mostly cross-onshore winds, with swell heights hovering around 3ft to 5ft, and the period dropping to 6-8 seconds. The energy also drops into the weak range (65-108) at times. It’s just not on.
I’d say this is a typical blank run for this spot; it’s a rare-breaking reef that needs everything to line up. Unfortunately, for the next 16 days, it just doesn’t. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.

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.
