The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer.
To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. We've got a solid 16-day window, but right from the start, I've got to tell you there isn't a single ripple worth paddling out for. The forecast is a long, frustrating run of poor surf conditions all the way through. From the first record on August 1st right through to the last on August 16th, it's a closed-out forecast for Sororoca. That's a straight 16-day stretch with nothing to recommend.
The main issue is that the wind is locked in from the southeast, which is cross-shore to cross-onshore for this spot. For a reef break that rarely breaks anyway, that's a killer. We're looking at moderate to fresh breezes most days, churning up a lumpy, choppy surface. The swell does pulse up a bit occasionally, with the combined energy hitting 458 on the 3rd of August, but it's all short-period, onshore-affected slop in the 5 ft range, which just translates to a mess. Even the smaller days around 3 ft are blown out. Honestly, if you're desperate for a session on the water, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing.
I'm not going to sugar-coat it, there are simply no good surf options in this 16-day window. The spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and when you add in the persistent onshore winds, it's a blank run. Keep an eye on the charts though—forecasts can change, and it doesn't stay this poor forever.
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.
