The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – I’ve looked at Sororoca, and it’s a tough stretch. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and over these 16 days, nothing’s coming together for a decent session. It’s a long, flat, choppy run with no real highlights.
The water temp is 81°, about what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The pattern for the next couple of weeks is the same old story: cross-shore and cross-onshore winds out of the SSE and SE, blowing 12 to 18 mph. The swell is tiny, running 3 ft to 6 ft, but it’s coming from the ESE or E with a short period of 6 to 10 seconds. That short period means weak, bumpy waves. The combined swell energy is often weak, in the 80s and 100s, though it does jump to moderate numbers – like 341 on Saturday, August 1st morning – but the wind has it all chopped up and messy.
There’s not a single time slot where the wind cleans up. It’s never offshore or glassy; just constant chop. Every single entry says “poor surf conditions,” and with a score of 0 out of 10 across the board, there’s nothing to get stoked about. Because this break is inconsistent and rarely breaks, a blank run like this is normal around here.
The swell does push a little around Monday, August 3rd, with combined energy hitting 444 and 497, and waves around 5 ft to 6 ft. But again, it’s cross-onshore and choppy, with a risk of thunderstorms. Not worth fighting the mess.
Don’t get your hopes up. Sometimes the ocean just gives you the cold shoulder. Forecasts can turn, but for now, leave the stick at home.
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.
