G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Sororoca over the next sixteen days is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a long, thin stretch with barely a session worth paddling out for. The first bit of surf worth talking about doesn’t really show up until Wednesday the 8th of July, but even then, it’s marginal at best.

Right from the get-go, Monday the 6th is a write-off. The swell is coming from the ESE at 4ft with a short period of 8 seconds and a cross-shore wind blowing 19 mph, kicking up a lumpy chop. The combined wave energy is weak at 235, and it’s just messy. Tuesday the 7th is more of the same – similar size, similar wind, and poor conditions.

Wednesday the 8th offers the first flicker of hope. Wednesday morning we’ve got a 4ft swell from the S, still a short period of 6 seconds, but the wind is a lighter cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph, and the water looks clean. It’s only a marginal call – you might find a few, but it’s touch and go. The tide could be a factor. The wave energy is moderate at 263, but the swell direction is from the S, and Sororoca wants it from the NE to really light up, so it’s not ideal. If you’re desperate, you could chance it.

From Thursday the 9th right through to Tuesday the 21st of July, it’s a long, bleak run. The surf stays small, mostly between 3ft and 5ft, with short periods and persistent cross or cross-onshore winds. The wind is mostly in the 9–16 mph range, keeping the surface choppy and bumpy. The wave energy drops into the weak zone frequently, and the “poor surf conditions” tag is a constant. There are no standouts. Nothing worth driving for.

The only real exception in terms of size comes on Tuesday the 21st of July morning, when the swell bumps up to 5ft from the ESE, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy hitting 374 – moderate energy. But the wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph with rain showers, and it’s described as “poor surf conditions” again. That’s a non-starter.

Sororoca itself is a reef break that rarely breaks, so this kind of blank run isn’t totally out of character. With most days seeing no good surf, the setup honestly looks more like one for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing – those cross-shore winds and consistent chop suit a kite better than a shortboard.

Hang in there, mate. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay poor forever. But for now, I’d give this one a miss.

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.
