G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up about Sororoca – this reef setup rarely breaks, and through this whole 16-day window, it’s gonna stay frustrating. There’s no standout day where everything lines up. The best of a bad bunch is Saturday morning, the 4th of July, when we see a 7ft ESE swell rolling in with a 9-second period and combined energy sitting at 871 (moderate). Water temp is 81°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. But the wind is a cross-shore SSE breeze at 12 mph, so it’s got that cross-chop making things tricky. It’s a marginal call, possibly messy with tide issues. After that, it’s a long, grim run. From Saturday afternoon right through to Sunday the 19th of July, every session is scoring zero or a 1 – poor surf conditions with mostly cross or cross-onshore winds, bumpy and choppy, swell dropping and getting weak. The energy levels dip down into two-digit numbers (as low as 58) from the 10th onward, with short periods around 6-7 seconds. The swell never really gets any direction that matches the optimum NE, so the reef just won’t light up. Honestly, for paddle surfing, this is a write-off. If you’re a kite surfer, the beach-and-reef setup might offer some interest with that consistent side-shore wind, but for us wave-hunters, it’s a blank run. That’s typical for a spot that rarely breaks – you gotta wait for a proper groundswell and clean offshore. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
