The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it's a tough one. The one spot we’ve got to work with is Sororoca, a reef break that *rarely breaks*. For this whole stretch, it's just not happening. The swell is all over the place, but more importantly, the winds are just a mess. We’re looking at a solid run of poor conditions, with a few one-out-of-ten mornings that are *clean* but still just marginal.
The first real flicker of something is on the morning of Saturday, July 25th. We get a bit of cleaner cross-offshore wind from the south, with a small 4.6ft swell from the southeast. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it's not going to have any grunt. The combined energy is weak, at 370. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The water temp is sitting at 80.4°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Then we have a long, dreary run of cross-shore winds and poor surf for the next week. There are a few mornings on July 30th and 31st that are clean with a gentle breeze, but the swell is tiny at 3ft with a period of just 6 or 7 seconds. The energy is pitiful, well under 100. You'd be scratching for anything.
August 1st sees the swell push up to 4.9ft, but the period is still a short 7 seconds, and the wind is a lumpy cross-shore. It’s just not the kind of wave that makes you want to paddle out. The pattern continues through the first week of August with the same story: cross-shore winds, messy conditions, and no real quality.
The last few days of the forecast, August 6th and 7th, show a slightly bigger swell of 5.2ft to 5.6ft, but again, the wind is either a fresh cross-shore or a moderate cross-onshore, keeping everything choppy and uninviting.
There’s a big gap of days with no real standouts. The best of a bad bunch is the clean but tiny morning of July 25th, and the clean but tiny mornings of July 30th and 31st. For a spot that rarely breaks, you’d want it to be much better than this. I wouldn't be waxing my board for any of this. It's a blank run, and for this area, a blank run is just the way it goes sometimes.

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.
