Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, I'll be honest with you, it’s a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks. The finder file hasn't thrown up a single decent recommendation for this stretch. That means we’re looking at a solid run of nothing, and the data backs up that feeling. Every single entry for Sororoca over this whole 16-day period has “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero, so there’s really no bright spot to grab onto.
This is a reef break that only rarely breaks, so a long blank run like this is more normal for the area than unusual. The swell direction is coming in from the east and southeast, but the reef here wants it from the northeast to really work, so the angles are all wrong. The combined wave energy, while it fluctuates between weak and moderate (from values as low as 78 up to 293 towards the end), never translates into anything rideable.
On Wednesday morning the 8th of July, we kick things off with a sea surface temp around 81°, which is bang on average for the time of year. But the wind is a cross-shore at 12 mph with a cross-chop, and that sets the tone for the whole period. It's cross-on and choppy for the vast majority, with wind speeds hanging between 9 and 19 mph.
For the first week, through to the 14th of July, the swell height hovers between 3 ft and 4 ft, but with a short period of just 6 to 7 seconds. That’s weak, wind-affected slop every time. From the 15th of July through to the 23rd, it’s more of the same – the swell bumps up to 4 ft at times, and the period finally gets to 8 seconds by the 20th and 21st, but the wind is still fresh and lumpy. Even the jump in combined energy to 293 on the morning of the 19th of July doesn't help because the wind is fresh and cross-onshore, making a mess of it.
There's no standout day in here. No glassy mornings, no clean offshores, no magic window. When the swell is big enough to have any push, the wind ruins it, and when the wind drops a touch, the swell is too small and weak. For this setup, it’s a full pass.
Keep the board in the car, but don't hold your breath just yet. The forecasts can change, so check back in a few days.
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.
