The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real straight up – the outlook for Sororoca over the next sixteen days is a tough one. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and for almost the entire forecast period, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The first real window of opportunity doesn’t even show up until Thursday, July 23rd, and even then it’s a marginal call.
The pattern is grim. For the first four days, from Sunday the 19th right through to Wednesday the 22nd, the conditions are just awful. We’ve got a cross-shore wind blowing at 19 mph, lumpy chop, and the wave state is simply poor. The swell is small and weak, with a short period (8 seconds) and weak combined energy of all swells directed here (277–307). There’s simply nothing to paddle for.
Then, on Thursday morning, July 23rd, we get a little flicker of hope. The swell picks up slightly to 6 ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of 630 – moderate wave energy. The period is still a short 8 seconds, and the wind is a gentle cross-shore from the SSE at 9 mph. That’s the cleanest we’ll see it, but the file calls it a marginal surf forecast. Honestly, it’s the only moment in the whole 16 days that might be worth a look if you’re desperate, but it’s not the kind of day you’d set your alarm for.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. From Friday, July 24th all the way through to Monday, August 3rd, the forecast is relentless: poor surf conditions, cross or cross-onshore winds, and a short, weak swell. Winds are stuck between 9 and 19 mph, mostly from the SSE or SE, and the swell height rarely gets over 4 ft. The combined energy drops right back into the weak category (often under 200). The best we can say is that on Saturday, July 25th, the morning has a cross-offshore wind and the phrase “clean,” but the swell is only 3 ft with a tiny 8-second period and combined energy of just 122. It’s not really surfable.
There’s a small rise in swell on August 1st, hitting 5 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy of 321, but the wind is cross-shore at 16 mph. It’s still a poor surf day.
The bottom line: Sororoca is a desert right now. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The break is inconsistent and rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run like this isn’t totally abnormal for the area. The forecast can always change, but right now, I wouldn’t be packing the boards. Save your energy.

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.
