Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sororoca over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you. We're looking at Sororoca, a reef break known to be a bit of a tease – it *rarely breaks*. Over the next 16 days, that holds true. The setup here is just not cooperating.
We kick things off on Thursday, the 9th of July, with a small, weak, short-period swell from the east. The water's sitting at a pretty average 81°, nothing unusual for this time of year. The combined energy is low (75), and with a cross-onshore breeze churning things up, it's a write-off. That's the story for the next several days. The swell tries to push up a bit, hitting moderate energy in the hundreds (like 255 on the 11th, 225 on the 12th), but the wind just won't play ball. It's stuck cross or cross-onshore, keeping everything choppy and messy. Through the second week, into the 20th and 21st of July, the swell height climbs to a solid 5ft-6ft, and the period stretches to 8-9 seconds, pushing the combined energy into strong territory (379-485). But again, the wind stays onshore or cross-shore. It’s a frustrating pattern.
Look, there's no standout. The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of the 22nd of July. We've got a 3ft swell from the ESE with a 9-second period, and the wind is cross-shore. The energy is still strong (277), so there's push, but with the cross-shore wind it's going to be lumpy. For a break that's described as "reef" with an optimum from the NE, this constant east-southeast angle isn't the magic number. Honestly, with the persistent onshore wind and consistent swell later on, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a blank run, folks, and for Sororoca, that's not unusual.
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.
