The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you on this one. Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks—it’s an inconsistent setup that needs just the right conditions to fire. In this 16-day window, the stars just don’t align. We’ve got a long run of clean, moderate-sized swell, but the wind is all wrong. It’s coming cross-shore or cross-onshore from the SE and ESE, never the optimum NE direction, and it’s blowing 12 to 19 mph. That’s going to chop up the face and make it a lumpy, cross-chop mess. The swell period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so there’s no real power or shape. The combined energy of all swells directed here gets up to moderate three-digit values—like 399 on Sunday morning, August 2, and 466 on Sunday, August 9—but it’s all sloppy, wind-affected junk. Water temperature is 80°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
For the first week, from Tuesday, July 28, right through to Sunday, August 2, the surf is consistently poor. The swell height sits around 3 ft to 4 ft, with a little bump to 6 ft on Saturday, August 1, but the cross-shore wind just wrecks it. The break is a reef, so it’s not a total washout, but with the wind state cross and the wave comment “poor surf conditions” on every single record, there’s no reason to get excited. The second week, from Monday, August 3, to Wednesday, August 12, is more of the same. The swell picks up a little—6 ft on Monday, August 10, and 6 ft on Wednesday, August 12—but the wind stays cross-on or cross, and the period is still short. The combined energy jumps to 559 on August 10, which is strong, but it’s all messy. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent wind and choppy conditions.
There are no standouts here. I’d bet the forecast changes, because it tends not to stay this poor for long, but as it stands, leave the board at home. 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.
