The Lowdown

Righto. Rusty here. Gotta be straight with ya: the 16-day window for Sororoca looks like a write-off. There’s not a single session I’d recommend paddling out for. The whole stretch is a long, dull gap for surfers.

We’ve got a rare-breaking reef break that’s exposed to the swell, and the wind just never plays ball. It’s a constant cross to cross-onshore flow from the SE and ESE, anywhere from 12 mph to 19 mph, keeping the surface chopped and lumpy. The swell is there – mostly around 3 ft to 5 ft from the E and ESE – but the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, crumbly windswell, not proper groundswell. The combined energy hardly ever gets exciting, peaking at 455 on the afternoon of Sunday the 16th of August, but even then it’s cross-shore and messy. For a spot that’s exposed and rarely breaks, we need perfect conditions, and there’s zero chance of that here.

The first few days, Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th of August, are as bad as it gets: clear skies or rain showers, a moderate to fresh breeze, and poor surf conditions every time. The water temp is sitting at 81° with a 1° anomaly, so it’s just about average for the time of year – not that it matters, because you won’t want to be in it.

Honestly, this entire forecast is a blank run. For this area, when a spot like Sororoca is this inconsistent and the wind is locked onshore, it’s not unusual to have nothing worth surfing. You’d be better off chasing a different coast. Save your energy, mate.

Stay tuned, forecasts can change.

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.
