The Lowdown
Alright, let's be straight about it. Sororoca's looking pretty grim for the next couple of weeks. This is a reef break that doesn't break often, and the forecast is doing it no favours.
We've got a real dry spell kicking off, lasting from now right through to the morning of Thursday, July 23rd. Basically, a whole week of nothing worth paddling out for. The wind's a mess, mostly sideshore or onshore, and the swell is a weak, short-period windswell from the east-southeast. The water temp is about 81°F, which is normal for this time of year.
The only little window is Thursday morning, the 23rd. We get a light southerly wind, 9 mph, blowing clean and slightly offshore. You'll have a tiny 4ft swell out of the east, still at a short 8 seconds. The energy is weak (204), but the conditions will be clean. For a spot that's rarely breaking, it's worth a mention, but only if you're desperate. It's a 2 out of 10 at best.
After that one morning, it's back to the rough stuff. On Monday, August 3rd, we see a bigger 6ft east swell with moderate energy (608), but it's blown out by a strong cross-onshore wind, so it's a no-go. That's it for the whole run. For a place like this, a long gap with no surf isn't unusual.
So, if you're keen, your single shot is that Thursday, July 23rd, morning for a clean but tiny wave. Otherwise, the board's staying in the car.

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.
