The Lowdown
Alright, surfers. Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – this next stretch is going to test your patience. The whole 16-day window is looking bleak, with zero decent surf options coming through. Every single day shows "poor surf conditions" with a score that says it's not worth paddling out. There’s a run of nearly two weeks where you can just leave the boards in the garage. With the break being a rarely breaking reef, this kind of blank run is normal for the area, so don’t let it get you down – forecasts can change.
We’re looking at a small, short-period, weak windswell from the ESE. The energy is weak to moderate at best. The biggest energy reading is 386, which is still moderate but the quality is just not there. The wind is a constant issue, mostly cross or cross-onshore from the SSE or SE, blowing at 9 to 19 mph, keeping the surface lumpy and choppy. The swell stays under 6 ft for the whole run, so it’s never too big, but the wind ruins any chance of a clean wave. The period is mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s just wind-affected slop.
The only minor glimmer comes on Sunday, July 26th morning, with the swell dropping to about 3 ft from the East and a tiny combined energy of only 94. The wind swings cross-offshore from the South at 12 mph, cleaning the surface right up. Wave comment says "clean". But even then, the swell is tiny and the period is short at just 7 seconds – it would be a desperate session on a longboard, and the score is still a zero. This is the only time all period the wind is favorable, and it’s still not enough to make it worthwhile.
From Sunday afternoon, July 26th, right through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s back to the same story: marginal, weak swell and onshore or cross-shore winds. The water temperature is around 81° Fahrenheit, which is about average for the time of year with an anomaly of just +0.7°, so grab a spring suit at most.
No standout days, no hidden gems. This is a classic “leave it” outlook. Hang tough, and hopefully the next long-range charts will bring something better.

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.
