Alright, Rusty here, taking a look at the outlook for Sororoca using the old imperial measurements.
To be straight with you, this is a tough one. The forecast for the next 16 days is pretty grim. Out of all the windows, there are a few moments that might be worth a look, but nothing that has me grabbing my board with any real enthusiasm. The opening stretch starts off with some energy, but the conditions are messy.
Friday morning, July 3rd, we see a 5.6ft swell out of the ESE with a period of 9 seconds. There's moderate wave energy pushing in (507), but a solid 15.5 mph crosswind from the SE is going to chop it right up, making for poor surf. The afternoon gets even bigger to 7.5ft, but with the same crosswind and storm risk, it's a miss.
Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th offer similar stories: 6.6ft swell from the ESE but still crosswind-affected. The wind on Saturday morning is 12.4 mph from the SSE and there is a risk of thunderstorms, so you're battling chop and weather. Sunday afternoon the swell drops to 4.9ft and the energy weakens way down to 316.
The best of a bad bunch might be Monday morning, July 6th. We get a 5.6ft ESE swell with a 9-second period and a moderate wave energy of 618. The wind swings to a cross-offshore from the S at 12.4 mph, cleaning it up nicely. It's still marginal, flagged with a score of 2, but if you're desperate, that's your window. Just know that Sororoca (Brazil) is a reef break that rarely breaks, so you need the swell to hit just right, and even then, it can be inconsistent. The water temp is sitting at 27.3°, which is pretty normal for the time of year.
Tuesday the 7th sees the swell drop to 4.9ft and the period shorten to 7 seconds. The energy is down to 405, and the cross-offshore is lighter, but it's still a marginal call.
From Wednesday the 8th onward, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell drops under 3.3ft most days, the period goes short, and the wind is consistently cross or cross-onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. From July 9th through to the 18th, the swell barely gets above 4.3ft and the combined energy often sits in the double or low triple digits (between 73 and 186), which is weak. The wind is a constant cross-on mess from the ESE or E, just ruining any chance of a clean face. The best you could hope for is a 3.3ft wave on Friday morning July 10th, but with onshore wind and a 6-second period that’s like surfing a washing machine.
Bottom line: there's a long, dry gap from July 8th through July 18th. Monday morning July 6th is your best bet, but even that's a gamble given how rarely the break actually works.

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.
