The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day outlook for Sororoca is a tough one. We've got a whole lot of nothing good on the cards. The entire window is a flat, choppy mess, so I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
First up, the water is a warm 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so that’s the only thing that’s not a total letdown.
The whole run is dry. We kick off on Wednesday, July 22nd, with a weak 4ft east swell, but it's a short-period 8 seconds and gets smashed by a cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is a weak 200, and it's just poor. We never get a break from the wind. Thursday morning, July 23rd, sees a slightly bigger 6ft swell from the ESE, but again, the period is short, it's cross-shore, and the forecast is only marginal. It's a no-go. The rest of the week and into the next is a relentless grind of 3ft to 6ft wind swell, all with short periods under 8 seconds, and every single session is tagged as "poor surf conditions." The wind is either cross or cross-onshore, never giving us a clean window.
This pattern just keeps going. We see a bit more size come early August, with the 1st and 2nd seeing 5ft to 4ft, and then the 3rd and 4th have swells around 5ft to 5ft from the ESE. But the period is still short, and the wind is still a problem. The combined energy on July 24th morning hits 667, which is moderate, but it's accompanied by rain and a cross-onshore breeze. It's frustrating.
There is no standout period. The closest we get to a "good" day is maybe Thursday, July 30th morning, with a 3ft swell and a gentle cross-shore breeze, but the energy is a paltry 122, and the period is a pathetic 6 seconds. It's not worth paddling out for.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day run, Sororoca is a write-off for paddle surfing. The combination of onshore and cross-shore winds, short-period wind swell, and the fact this spot rarely breaks anyway means there's just no quality. If you're a kitesurfer, the strong cross-shore winds on days like August 1st afternoon (19 mph) might look interesting, but for a surfboard, you're better off staying home.
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.
