The Lowdown
Alright, let's have a look at this one. I'm Rusty, and I've got the forecast for Sororoca here. To be honest, it's a tough stretch ahead. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and for the next sixteen days, the conditions just aren't cooperating. You're looking at a long run of days where the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, which is going to keep things chopped up and messy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about on that front.
The first real chance of anything comes on Tuesday morning, the 4th of August. There's a pulse of 6 ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds, and it has a combined energy of (570) – that's a solid amount of energy. But the wind is a cross-shore SSE breeze at 12 mph, and the report talks about rain showers and a cross-chop. It's a marginal call at best, and the tide could be a factor. The swell is a bit too big for beginners, but it's not a clean wave for anyone.
The rest of that first week into the second week is more of the same: poor surf. We get small pulses of 5 ft and 6 ft on the 9th and 11th of August, but again, the wind is on it, so it's just not going to shape up. The swell direction is mostly ESE, which is not the optimum NE direction the reef prefers, so that's another knock against it.
The only flicker of something different is on the morning of Wednesday, 12th August. The wind swings to a cross-offshore S direction at 12 mph, and the report says "clean". The swell is a modest 4 ft from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds, giving a combined energy of (200). It's still marginal due to tide, but if any window is going to offer a half-decent wave, that's the one. It's a long shot for a spot that rarely breaks.
For the rest of the run, from the 13th of August onwards, it's all poor surf with onshore winds. The 19th of August shows a bump in swell to 5 ft, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 19 mph, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's a bleak outlook, I'm not going to lie. But with a spot like this, it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change. Keep an eye on that Wednesday morning, 12th of August.
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.
