The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The outlook for Sororoca is pretty grim for the vast majority of the 16-day window. We’re looking at a solid stretch of poor surf conditions, with a lot of cross-shore wind and a cross-chop messing things up. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about 0.7° above the norm for this time of year, so nothing too wild there.
The first real hint of anything surfable doesn't come until Friday the 31st of July. The morning shows a bump in energy with combined swell energy hitting 332 (moderate), and a 5ft swell from the ESE. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s windswell, not groundswell, but the wind is a gentle cross-shore breeze at 9 mph, which is the lightest we see. It’s still marginal though, and the crowds are sometimes a factor here. After that, we slide back into poor conditions.
The next window that might raise an eyebrow is Monday the 3rd of August. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the ESE with a combined energy of 620 (moderate to strong), and a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a gentle cross-shore again at 9 mph. It’s still labeled marginal, but that’s the biggest, cleanest-looking pulse in the whole run.
A bit later, on Thursday the 6th of August, the afternoon shows a 7ft swell from the ESE with a combined energy of 838 (strong). That’s a solid size, but the period is only 8 seconds, and the wind is a moderate cross-shore at 16 mph. At 7ft, it’s getting into that territory where it’s more for the experienced crew, especially with that chop.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the Friday the 31st of July morning or the Monday the 3rd of August morning are the only real standouts, and even then, they’re just "marginal". The rest of the time, it’s a lot of cross-onshore or lumpy chop. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days.
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.
