G'day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—looking over the Sororoca region for the next 16 days, and it's a tough one. The swell is on the small side, the wind is almost always from the wrong angle, and the wave comment across the board is "poor surf conditions." There's no standout day, no secret session hiding in this forecast. It's one of those stretches where the ocean just isn't cooperating for a decent paddle.
The first wave of interest shows up on Tuesday afternoon, the 7th of July, with a 4 ft swell from the ESE and a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 123, and with a cross-shore wind from the SSE at 16 mph, it's bumpy and messy. That pattern sticks around—Wednesday the 8th offers 3 ft swell from the ESE, still a short 7-second period, and cross-shore winds again. Water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Through Thursday the 9th and into the weekend, things don't improve. Swells hover around 3 ft to 4 ft, periods stay at 6 to 7 seconds, and the wind shifts between cross and cross-onshore, mostly from the SSE or SE at 9 to 16 mph. The energy readings bounce between weak (75) and moderate (301 on Saturday the 11th morning), but that energy doesn't translate to quality—short-period, wind-affected chop is the story.
The second week doesn't offer any reprieve. From the 14th of July onward, swell sizes dip to 3 ft or 3 ft, periods remain short at 6 to 7 seconds, and the wind stays cross-onshore or cross. The combined energy drops further, often below 100, like 42 on Saturday the 18th morning. By Sunday the 19th, wind picks up to 19 mph from the SE, making it lumpy with a fresh cross-shore chop. There's a slight bump on Tuesday the 21st afternoon (5 ft, 7 seconds, 241 combined energy) and again on Wednesday the 22nd morning, but with onshore tendencies and short period, it's still a write-off for a decent wave face.
This is an exposed reef break that's exposed to swell, and it's a spot that rarely breaks anyway—so this blank run isn't too surprising. For paddle surfing, I'd say give it a miss. Honestly, with the wind and chop, if you're really keen to get on the water, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional surf.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, things can turn, but for now, it's a long wait.
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.
