The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the forecast for Sororoca. Let me tell you, it's a tough stretch ahead. The finder is showing absolutely no solid recommendations for the next 16 days. That's a long, dry spell for this spot. The guidance file tells the story: Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and the conditions over this period just aren't coming together. It's a bit of a bummer, but a blank run like this is more normal for an inconsistent setup like this one.
The first few days, from July 20th through the end of the month, are a write-off. We're looking at poor surf conditions every single day, with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds blowing at 12 to 16 mph. The swell is small, mostly around 3 ft to 4 ft, and coming from the east and southeast with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, hitting only 71 (71) on the 27th afternoon, and barely touching 169 (169) on the 22nd of July. The water temperature is 81°F with a 0.5°F anomaly, so it's just about average for this time of year. Honestly, there's nothing to get excited about.
We do see a slight uptick on the 1st of August. The morning brings a 6 ft swell from the southeast with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 538 (538), which is moderate. The wind is still cross-shore at 16 mph, but the forecast flags it as "marginal" rather than "poor". That's the closest we get to a pulse, but the wind is still messy and the surf quality is far from clean. The swell is also a bit much for beginners at 6 ft, and with the short period and cross-shore wind, it's not going to be a fun paddle.
The rest of the first week of August follows the same pattern. Swell hangs around 4 ft to 7 ft, mostly from the ESE, with periods of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy gets up to 817 (817) on the 4th of August, which is a strong pulse of energy, but the wind is still cross-on or cross-shore and choppy. The surf conditions are consistently rated as poor. For a reef break that rarely breaks, you need everything to line up perfectly, and this window is just not it.
So, to be straight with you, there's no standout session in this 16-day outlook. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler, given the consistent cross-shore winds and the bumpy, choppy sea state. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, it's a tough run. Keep your eye on the charts, but don't hold your breath.
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.
