The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a tough stretch ahead for the Sororoca area. This reef break is a tricky one, and it rarely breaks, so we need the stars to align. Unfortunately, they don't look like they're going to for a good while.

The whole 16-day window is a write-off for good surfing. We’re looking at a solid 16 days with no real standouts, no clean windows, nothing worth paddling out for. The problem is a persistent cross-onshore wind, mostly from the ESE or SE, that just won't let up. It’s blowing at 12 to 19 mph, keeping the ocean chopped up and lumpy. The swell is mostly from the east, but it's a messy, short-period wind swell, with periods mostly between 6 and 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate, with values between 101 and 309 (moderate wave energy), but it’s all junk.

On the 6th of September, we start with rain showers and a moderate breeze, 3 ft to 3 ft of east swell, and it’s just poor. The water temperature might be about average for the time of year, but it doesn't matter when you can't get a clean wave. The same story continues day after day. By the 11th of September, the swell bumps up to 5 ft, but it's still cross-on, choppy, and poor. The wind stays fresh from the SE on the 12th and 13th, still ruining the surface. Even into the second week, from the 14th to the 21st of September, it’s the same old story. The swell holds around 3 ft to 5 ft, but the wind is either a moderate or fresh breeze from the ESE or SE, always cross-on. The energy picks up a bit on the 21st, hitting 309 (moderate wave energy), but it's still accompanied by a fresh, lumpy cross-onshore wind.

This is a blank run, plain and simple. For a spot that rarely breaks, this kind of extended poor spell is more normal than not. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. There’s just nothing to get excited about. Keep the board in the car, and maybe check back in a week.

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.
