The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Sororoca over the next 16 days is a tough one to sell. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and this stretch of forecasts does nothing to change that reputation. We’re looking at a long, bleak run of poor surf conditions with no real standout windows.
The pattern kicks off with a pulse of moderate wave energy – the combined swell energy hits 395 (moderate) on Tuesday 21 July, with a 5 ft swell from the ESE. But that’s where the good news ends. The wind is a cross-shore SE breeze at 19 mph, which is going to leave it lumpy and messy. The water temperature is 81°, which is about average for the time of year.
From Wednesday 22 July right through the end of the month, it’s the same story: swell heights bouncing between 3 ft and 6 ft, but always with a cross or cross-onshore wind. The energy values are mostly in the low to moderate range (97 to 714), but the wind just won’t let up. The periods are short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so you’re getting weak, wind-affected waves. The forecaster is calling it “poor surf conditions” almost every single session.
There are a couple of mornings, like Thursday 23 July and Saturday 25 July, where the wind drops to a gentle breeze and the cross-shore is only slight. But the swell is still short period and the wave comment says “marginal” or “poor”. It’s really not enough to get excited about.
Into the first week of August, the pattern continues. The wind is still a problem, blowing from the SE or SSE at 9 to 19 mph, always cross or cross-on. The swell tries to pick up a little around Saturday 1 August and Sunday 2 August, with heights around 4 ft to 5 ft and energy values climbing back into the moderate range (159 to 216). But the wind is a fresh breeze, and the forecast is still “poor surf conditions”.
Honestly, for a spot that rarely breaks and needs everything to line up, this is a blank run. There’s no single day where I’d say pack the board. The setup here could be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the persistent cross-shore winds and moderate swell. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d find something else to do.
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.
