The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s the deal for Sororoca.
Alright, I’ll be straight with you – this stretch of coast is looking pretty grim for the next 16 days. The problem is, the swell is coming from the wrong direction, and the wind is a constant mess. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and when it does, it wants swell from the NE. The forecast is all ESE and E swell, so it’s not getting the right exposure at all. The water is about average for the time of year at 80°, nothing weird there.
We’ve got a long gap of bad conditions. The first couple of days, from Friday 24 July right through to the end of the month, are all "poor surf conditions" with cross-shore winds and a cross-chop. The swell is small, mostly 3ft to 4ft, with a short period of only 7-8 seconds, so it’s weak and messy. The combined energy is moderate at best, hitting 192 on Friday afternoon, but it’s all for nothing with the wind wrong.
The only times that even get a "marginal" nod are Monday 27 July morning, Monday 3 August morning, and Tuesday 4 August morning. On Monday 27 July morning, we have a 4ft SE swell at a 6-second period, which is a tiny, short-period windswell, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the S at 9 mph. The combined energy is 200 (moderate). It’s probably the closest to rideable, but with a 6-second period, it’s going to be weak and gutless. The other two, on 3 and 4 August, have a bit more size – 6ft from the ESE at 8 seconds – but the wind is cross-shore or cross-on, and the combined energy jumps to 546 and 506 (strong wave energy). Even then, the direction is still wrong, and the wind is a cross-shore mess, so it’s more of a chop fest than a surf session.
There are no standouts here. The swell is too weak and poorly directed, and the wind is almost always cross-shore or onshore. For a spot that rarely breaks clean, the forecast is a blank run. This is a typical poor stretch for the area. Nothing to get excited about.
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.
