Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – looking at Sororoca over the next couple of weeks, it’s a tough stretch. This spot is a reef break that rarely breaks, and unfortunately, the forecast is backing that up. There’s just nothing good on the cards for a long, long time.
The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th are all cross-shore winds with poor surf conditions. The water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is bang on normal for this time of year, so at least that’s one thing that’s not giving us grief.
We do see a little bump in size starting Sunday the 5th, with swell hitting 7 ft from the ESE. That’s a moderate energy pulse but the wind is still a messy cross-shore. The surf is only rated as marginal at best. That’s the only window where the swell gets over 5 ft, but it’s still choppy, and with a short period of 8 seconds, it’s not going to have any real shape. For any beginners out there, that’s too big anyway.
Then it’s a dead run. From Monday the 6th all the way through to Saturday the 18th, we’re looking at a solid two-week stretch of nothing but poor surf. The swell drops off to under 3 ft for days, the combined energy stays weak, and the period drops to 6 or 7 seconds. It’s all cross or cross-onshore breeze, and the forecast never offers a clean, glassy window.
Bottom line: there are no recommended sessions here. Sororoca is a spot that rarely delivers, and this 16-day outlook proves it. It’s a blank run and it’s pretty normal for this place. Keep your board in the bag and wait for the next change – forecasts can turn around.

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.
