Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sororoca over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty. Alright, I’ve had a good look at what’s on the table for Sororoca, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a grim run. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and over the next 16 days, the conditions just aren’t playing ball. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf, with cross-shore to cross-onshore winds and short, weak swells. The water temp is sitting at 81°F – that’s about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real blip on the radar doesn’t come until Monday, 20 July. Through the morning, it’s still poor, but by the afternoon we finally see a little bump: swell height around 6ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 621 (moderate), and the wind is a cross-shore from the SE at 16 mph. It’s still only rated as marginal, so it’s not a day to get excited, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell direction is ESE, which is off the optimum NE for this spot, but it’s the only window where the numbers aren’t completely flat.
After that, Tuesday 21 July sees a similar 5ft to 5ft ESE swell, but the wind picks up to 19 mph and stays cross-shore, keeping things lumpy and poor. Wednesday 22 July brings a bigger 6ft swell from the SE with 8-second period, and combined energy of 659 (moderate), but again, the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, so it’s messy. That swell is getting up there – over 5ft – so it’s not for beginners, but not quite expert territory either.
The truth is, there’s no standout here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf. Sororoca is a rarely-breaking reef, and with these short-period wind swells and onshore winds, it’s just not offering anything worthwhile. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a long blank run. I’d say keep the board in the car and wait for a better window.
Stay hopeful, 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.
