The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight up – there’s nothing to get excited about in this 16-day window at Sororoca. The whole run is a write-off. The spot itself rarely breaks, and when it does, the conditions just aren’t coming together. We’ve got a solid 16 days of poor surf conditions with no good options on offer. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year – no surprises there.
Kicking off Saturday the 1st of August, Sororoca has a 6 ft swell out of the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 341 (moderate). Problem is the wind is howling from the SSE at 19 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. Not surfable. Sunday the 2nd, swell drops to 5 ft, wind still cross-shore at 12 mph, energy at 284 – still messy. Monday the 3rd sees a 5 ft ESE swell, period holding at 7 seconds, energy climbs to 373, but the wind shifts cross-onshore and it remains choppy with rain showers and thunderstorm risk. No joy.
Tuesday the 4th, cross-shore wind at 12 mph, 4 ft swell, energy at 200 – still poor. Wednesday the 5th brings the biggest swell of the run at 6 ft from the ESE, period 8 seconds, energy jumping to 683 (moderate-strong). But it’s cross-onshore at 12-16 mph with rain and thunderstorms, so the surface is blown out. Thursday the 6th through to Saturday the 16th is the same story – swell sizes bouncing between 2 ft and 5 ft, all short-period ESE or E swell, winds consistently cross-onshore or onshore, and every session tagged as poor surf. On the 14th and 15th, we get a glimpse of longer-period swell (13 seconds) but only at 2 ft-3 ft, and the wind is still cross-onshore – energy in the 300-430 range but no clean face to ride.
Given the persistent cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions at this beach-and-reef setup, honestly, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There are no standout days, no clean windows. If you’re after a surf, this stretch is a blank – don’t bother paddling out.
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.
