The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m calling it. Sororoca is a reef break that’s a real diva – it rarely breaks, and when it does, it’s gotta be perfect. For the next 16 days, it’s anything but.
Water temp is about 81°F, which is normal for this time of year.
The first few days? Don’t even bother. Sunday, August 2nd, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the ESE with a short 7-second period, but the wind is a cross-shore at 15 mph, making it a mess. The energy is weak (109). "Poor surf conditions" says it all. Monday and Tuesday are the same story – cross-onshore winds and weak, small swell. The energy picks up a little on Wednesday the 5th with a 5ft swell from the ESE, hitting 494 (moderate energy), but the cross-onshore wind at 12-15 mph is going to chop it to pieces. No good.
From the 2nd of August all the way to the 17th, every single session is flagged as "poor surf conditions." That’s a solid 16-day stretch of nothing. The swell is small, the period is short (mostly 6-8 seconds), and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-shore. There’s no window of clean, offshore glass. The swell is coming from the ESE and E, but the optimum direction for Sororoca is NE, so it’s not even hitting the spot right. The one time the swell gets a bit bigger, it’s still blown out. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a total flat spell.
This is a complete blank run. It’s a reef break, and with that short-period, wind-affected junk, it’s not even worth a look for paddle surfing. If you’re really desperate, maybe the bigger, choppier days on the 5th and 8th could be interesting for a kite, but for a surfboard? Forget it. Forecasts can change, but this one’s looking locked in for a solid two weeks of nothing.
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.
