The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty. Fair dinkum, I’ve combed through the charts for our stretch, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s a lean stretch ahead. There’s not a single notable surf window in the whole 16-day run. The waves will be there, but they’re going to be messy, cross-onshore, and frankly, not worth getting excited about. This is one of those blanks that just sits there, testing your patience.

The swell throughout is mostly easterly, running at 3 to 5 feet, with periods mostly in the 6 to 8 second range – that’s short-period, wind-driven stuff, not the long groundswell we’d want. The energy is weak to moderate, mostly sitting between 116 and 338, which tells the story: nothing behind it. The wind is the killer here, persistent easterly to southeasterly, blowing 12 to 18 mph, coming straight across the face. That’s going to chop it up something shocking. It’s not even worth calling it an onshore – it’s just messy.

Let’s run through it. The first few days, from Thursday the 27th of August through the weekend, we’ve got cross-on conditions and moderate breeze, with swell around 3 to 5 feet. Completely ordinary. The energy is weak, around 117 to 320. Come Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st, it picks up slightly to 5 feet, but it’s still cross-on and choppy. Nothing changes. Through the middle of the week, the swell drops back to the 4-foot range, still onshore, still poor. By the first weekend of September, the 5th and 6th, the wind goes more southerly and even picks up a touch to 18 mph, making it lumpy. The second week is more of the same – small, weak, and messy, with the only slight reprieve being lighter winds (6-9 mph) around the 10th of September, but it’s still cross-on and the swell is just 4 feet with a period of 7 seconds. Not going to tempt anyone out.

The first surf break I’d normally point you to is Sororoca, but it’s a reef setup that only breaks rarely. With this forecast, those rare windows are going to stay shut. The water temp is sitting at about 81°, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year – no surprises there. The bottom line is, there’s nothing on offer that would get me out of bed early. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you’d be looking at flat, blown-out conditions, but for any kind of quality, forget it. With this much cross-onshore wind and a beach-reef setup, it’s looking more like a kite-surf day than a surf day.

Honestly, with so few consistent spots in the region, a run like this isn’t abnormal. But it won’t stay poor forever. Forecasts change, and I’ll be watching the charts for any sign of a proper swell. Until then, keep the boards in the rack.

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.
