The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks, and unfortunately, the outlook for the entire 16-day window is a tough one. There are no good surf options on offer. The whole period is a write-off for anything decent.
Starting from Monday the 3rd of August right through to Tuesday the 18th of August, it’s all "poor surf conditions" every session. The swell is mostly hanging around the 3ft to 6ft range, coming in from the E or ESE, but the period is short – mostly 6 to 8 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, so the waves will be weak and gutless. The combined energy readings are mostly between 95 and 306, but even the 504 reading on Friday the 14th of August morning doesn’t help because the wind is howling.
And the wind is the real kicker here. It’s cross, cross-on, or cross-shore from the SSE, SE, or ESE for the entire run, with speeds of 12 mph to 19 mph. That means a nasty cross-chop or lumpy, onshore mess on every single morning and afternoon. No clean windows at all. For a reef break like this, you need glassy or light offshore wind to make it work, and we’re not getting a sniff of that.
With the swell over 5ft on a couple of afternoons and the wind up, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The water temp is sitting around 81°F with a normal anomaly of 1°F, so that’s about average for the time of year – not that it matters much when the surf is this grotty.
To put it simply, there’s a 16-day blank run here. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and with these conditions, we’re not getting any waves worth paddling for. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, best to leave the boards in the car.
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.
