The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Sororoca has on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch. The forecast is pretty grim. For a spot that already rarely breaks, the conditions line up to keep it flat and ugly for the vast majority of the 16 days. You're looking at a long, long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The only time we see any real size is around Thursday the 23rd of July, with swell picking up to 6ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon from the ESE. But that's where the good news stops.
The period on that swell is short, only 8 seconds, so it'll be weak and crumbly. The wind is cross or cross-on from the SE, locking in a choppy mess, especially given the gusty 12 mph speeds. The combined swell energy hits 647 on Thursday morning and 747 in the afternoon – which is moderate energy – but it's completely wasted by the wind and the short period. The surf quality is rated as marginal at best and just plain poor the rest of the time. It's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, to be honest.
There isn't really a standout session here. If I had to pick the *least* terrible window, it'd be Thursday morning the 23rd of July. The swell is the biggest at 6ft from the ESE, and the wind is the lightest at 9 mph. But don't get your hopes up – it's still cross-shore with a cross-chop, and with rain showers likely, it's going to be a slog. Crowds are possible here, but honestly, I doubt anyone will be out.
For the rest of the period, swell drops way down, the wind stays messy, and the scores are zeroes across the board. It's a dry spell, so save your wax for another time.
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.
