The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's get into it.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days for Sororoca are a tough pill to swallow. This spot is a classic reef break that rarely breaks, and we're going through a spell where that's the case. The first solid surf recommendation doesn't show up until the 7th of August. That's a solid 13-day gap with literally nothing worth paddling out for. The energy is weak, the winds are messy, and the conditions are just poor. It's a real bummer for a spot that's usually a bit of a hidden gem.
The water is sitting at 80°, which is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday, the 7th of August, in the afternoon. We're looking at a 6 ft swell from the East, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy hitting the reef is a solid 838, which is decent. The wind is cross-shore, creating a bit of lumpy chop, but it's the only window in the whole forecast that's even worth a mention. It's still a marginal call, but for a spot that's been dead for almost two weeks, you take what you can get. The swell direction is East, which isn't ideal for this break – it prefers it from the NE – but the size and the period are the best we'll see.
Saturday the 8th of August has a bit more size, with a 5 ft swell in the afternoon, but the period jumps to 10 seconds and the energy is still strong at 527. The problem is the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy. The 9th of August sees the swell jump to 7 ft from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 694. That's a lot of water, but it's coming with a fresh cross-shore wind that's going to make it lumpy. For a reef break, that combination of size and messy wind doesn't usually work out well for a clean paddle.
The one standout, if you're desperate, is the Friday afternoon on the 7th of August. It's the only time the forecast tags a 1 out of 10, and even then it's a "marginal" call. It's not a classic, it's not a day for beginners, and the crowds are possible here. But it's the only thing on the menu.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
