The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – the next 16 days at Sororoca are a write-off. There’s nothing in the window that’s worth paddling out for. The forecast is a long, flat stretch of poor surf conditions with no real window of clean, rideable waves. You’re looking at a gap that starts now and stretches all the way to the end of the month – no recommendations at all. It’s a tough run, but that’s the reality for this spot right now.

Starting Wednesday, July 15th, we’ve got a tiny 3 ft swell from the east with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 77 – barely a ripple. Wind is a cross-shore from the southeast at 12 mph, but it’s already messy with a cross-chop, and the water temp is sitting at 81° with a normal anomaly. That’s about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The surf is just poor. Into Thursday and Friday the swell bumps up a touch to 4 ft or 4 ft, but the period drops to 6 seconds, and the wind swings cross-onshore, making it choppy and uninviting. No scores worth mentioning.

The weekend of July 18th and 19th sees a bit more energy – the swell hits 5 ft to 6 ft on Saturday and Sunday mornings, with combined energy jumping to 511 on Saturday morning, which is moderate. But the wind is still cross-shore and fresh, up to 19 mph, and the period only reaches 8 seconds. The comment says “poor surf conditions” and “marginal” at best. It’s too lumpy and messy for a paddle. This might look more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer on a shortboard.

The whole second week, from July 20th through to the 30th, is a repeat of the same story. Swell hangs around 3 ft to 5 ft, mostly from the east or east-southeast, with periods between 6 and 8 seconds. The wind is nearly always cross or cross-onshore, and the combined energy never gets exciting – mostly under 300. The one possible exception is the morning of July 29th, where the wind shifts to a light cross-offshore from the south-southeast at 16 mph, and the wave comment says “clean.” But the swell is only 3 ft at 6 seconds, and the energy is a weak 95. It’s clean but gutless. Not worth the drive.

The bottom line: Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms it. There’s no standout session, no day to circle on the calendar. Sometimes a blank run is just normal for an area, and this is one of those times. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards at home.

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.
