The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for this stretch is a bit of a bummer. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window starting now, but honestly, there’s not a single session that’s worth getting excited about. The whole run is a write-off for quality surf.
The only spot on the radar is Sororoca, a reef break that rarely breaks. Straight away, that’s a red flag. The swell direction is mostly from the ESE and E, but the reef really needs it from the NE to work its magic. Every single day in the forecast is flagged as "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero. The swell energy is all over the place, from a weak 82 to a moderate 588 on the 4th of August, but it doesn’t matter because the wind is always a problem. It’s either cross or cross-onshore, with a lot of chop and cross-chop ruining any chance of a clean face. The period is short, between 6 and 8 seconds, so there’s no real power or shape to the waves.
You’ll see some pulses of swell, like on the 4th of August with 6ft from the ESE and combined energy at 588 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is cross-on and choppy. It’s just messy. Even when the swell drops to 3ft on the 7th of August, the wind is still ruining it.
Water temperature is sitting at 81°F with a tiny anomaly of 1°F – so right on the money for this time of year. Nothing unusual there.
The whole 16 days is a blank run. For a reef that rarely breaks and needs a specific wind and swell direction to work, this kind of poor run is more normal for the area. There’s nothing to recommend. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger wind days with cross-shore wind might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass.
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.
Sororoca is 16 km (10 miles) from Canguaretama. If you plan a holiday in Rio Grande Do Norte, look for hotels and other accommodation in Canguaretama. Canguaretama has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
