Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Oi, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about Sororoca. I've had a good look at what's coming, and to be honest, it's a pretty grim run on the whole. We're looking at a long stretch with nothing really worth paddling out for. The only faint glimmer is right at the start, but it's for the dedicated wave-starved only.
The setup at Sororoca (`Sororoca`) is a reef break that is exposed to the swell, but the guidance tells us it `rarely breaks`. And looking at this forecast, it's true. The swell direction is mostly out of the east, which doesn't match the optimum NE direction at all.
Sunday morning, July 5th is probably the only time you could even bother. We've got a 5ft swell from the east, but it's a short period of 8 seconds – that's windswell, not groundswell. The wind is a 12 mph cross-offshore from the SSE, which at least gives it a clean look. But the crowd factor is "sometimes", which for a spot this inconsistent and marginal, means a few locals might be stretching for a wave. The water temp anomaly is average for the time of year.
After that brief, poor-quality moment, we slide into a massive dead zone. From Sunday, July 5th afternoon right through to the end of the forecast period on Monday, July 20th, it's all "poor surf conditions". Wave heights hang around 3ft to 4ft but with short, weak periods. The winds most of the time are cross or, worse, cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. There's a tiny spike on the Wednesday, July 15th afternoon when the swell bumps up to 5ft from the ESE, but the period is still a short 7 seconds and the wind is a messy 16 mph cross-onshore, so the waves will be junky.
Honestly, this is a total bust for surf. If you're desperate for a wave, maybe Sunday morning, July 5th, offers a couple of rideable, weak lines. But for the rest of it? Save your energy and the wax. The forecasts can change, but right now the outlook is completely flat and blown out. This blank run is normal for a spot that rarely breaks.
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.
