The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for your local stretch.

Honestly, I’m looking at the next 16 days and it’s a tough one. There’s nothing that’s really firing for us. The whole run is a bit of a write-off for decent surf. From now right through to the 7th of September, it’s all pretty grim. We’re looking at a solid two-week gap where there’s nothing worth paddling out for.

The only spot on the radar is Sororoca, and she’s a tricky one. It’s a reef break that rarely breaks, so you need everything to line up perfectly. Unfortunately, it’s not happening this time. The swell is coming in from the ESE and E, which is not the optimum NE direction for this wave. The wind is a constant problem too, mostly cross or cross-onshore from the SE and ESE, blowing at 12 to 18 mph, which is just making a mess of the surface. The swell heights move around a bit – from 3ft up to 6ft – but with those short periods (6 to 8 seconds), there’s no power or shape. The combined energy hits a high of 457 on the 26th of August morning, which is moderate wave energy, but it’s all wasted on the poor conditions.

The water temperature is sitting at 80°, and with an anomaly of 1°, it’s pretty much bang on average for this time of year. Nothing special there.

There’s just no standout here. The wind is never offshore, the swell direction is wrong, and the break is inconsistent. For a brief moment on the 31st of August and 1st of September, the swell bumps up a touch (5ft to 6ft) with a period of 8 seconds, but it’s still cross-on and choppy. That’s not enough to get excited about. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger wind days and lumpy water might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.

Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d be finding something else to do. A blank run like this is more normal for the area, so don’t hold your breath.

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.
