The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The only spot on the radar is Sororoca, a reef break that's a rarity, it rarely breaks, so when it does, it's something special. But honestly, this isn't that time. The water's sitting at a pretty normal 80°F for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

The whole 16-day window is a long, flat grind. Right from the start, Thursday morning the 6th, we've got a meagre 5ft of swell from the ESE, but it's a weak, short-period 8 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-on from the SE at 12 mph. The combined energy is a moderate 367, but the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. The rest of the week is more of the same. Friday the 7th, the swell drops to 3ft, period drops to 5 seconds, energy is a weak 85, and the cross-on wind is still ruining it. Saturday the 8th, Sunday the 9th, Monday the 10th – it's all cross-on wind, short-period junk, and "poor surf conditions" stamped over every session. The energy stays weak, bouncing between 71 and 184, with the swell rarely cracking 4ft.

There's a slight glimmer on Wednesday morning the 12th, when the wind swings to a cross-off from the south at 19 mph, and the wave comment says "clean." But the swell is still tiny at 4ft with a short 7-second period, so it's more of a novelty than anything rideable. The next week, from the 14th onward, the pattern doesn't change. The swell height drops to 2ft on the 15th, and though the period stretches to 10 seconds, the cross-on wind is back, and the energy is a weak 145. Even the 13-second period on the 15th afternoon can't save it – the energy is only 264, and the wind is still cross-on.

Look, I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a real desert. Every single forecast in the 16 days says "poor surf conditions." There's no standout, no hidden gem, no session to circle on the calendar. With the wind constantly onshore or cross, and the swell never getting any size or quality, Sororoca is a no-go. If you're desperate, the cleanest window is probably Wednesday morning the 12th, but you'd be chasing a 4ft, 7-second wave with a 19 mph cross-off wind. It's not worth the paddle.

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.
