The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let’s put it blunt – there’s nothing worth surfing in this whole 16‑day stretch for Sororoca. From now through Thursday 30 July, you’ve got a gap that runs about a week and a half before any sort of chance appears, and even that is thin.
Sororoca is a reef that rarely breaks and wants NE swell, but we get nothing but ESE to ENE the whole time. Water temperature is 27° with a +0.3° anomaly, which is about average for the season.
From Wednesday 15 July to Wednesday 22 July, it’s all cross or cross‑onshore winds at 12 to 22 mph, with wave heights from 3 ft to 6 ft. Combined energy sits between 119 and 325, which is moderate but messy. The period is short – 6 to 8 seconds – so it’s just windswell chop. Every report says “poor surf conditions.”
Thursday 23 July is the same story – cross‑onshore, 3 ft to 4 ft, ugly.
The only window that gets a “good” is Friday 24 July morning. The wind drops to S at 3 mph, giving a cross‑offshore breeze and clean conditions. Wave height is 4 ft from the E with a 7‑second period and combined energy 236. That’s the best you’ll see, but it’s short‑period, not the right direction, and this spot rarely breaks anyway. By the afternoon the wind turns back onshore and it’s done.
From Saturday 25 July onward, swell drops below 3 ft, energy falls to between 45 and 110, and the wind stays cross or cross‑onshore at 9 to 16 mph. No more clean windows.
If you absolutely have to paddle out, try Friday 24 July morning at Sororoca. Otherwise, this is a classic quiet spell for a break that’s inconsistent at the best of times. On the bigger, windier days it might suit a kite better than a surfboard. That’s the reality.
Rusty, out.

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.
