The Lowdown

Well, boys, I’m going to be straight with you – this is one ugly stretch of ocean ahead. We’ve got a full 16-day run where poor surf conditions are the headline, and there’s nothing breaking that trend.

Sororoca (a reef spot) is our only named break in the mix, and it’s a rare-breaker as it is. We’ve got ESE and E swells pushing through, all with cross-onshore winds, and it’s choppy, lumpy, and messy. On the 14th, we’re looking at a 1.0m ESE swell with an 8-second period and a moderate cross-shore breeze. That one’s weak – combined energy is only 148. It’s poor.

Nothing changes through the 15th and 16th – 1.1m to 1.2m, 5-7 second periods, cross-on winds, and energy anywhere from 96 to 144. It’s all bump and windswell.

Friday the 18th has a bit more size – 1.5m – but the wind jumps to 30 km/h and it’s lumpy. Energy’s up to 214, but that doesn’t matter when the period is only 6 seconds. Still junk.

The 19th to the 23rd is the same song and dance. 1.3m to 1.5m, 6-8 second periods, cross-onshore winds, and energy levels between 169 and 265. There’s a brief cross-shore window on the 21st and 22nd, but it’s still choppy and not breaking right.

Then the 24th and 25th, the swell just dies. 0.5m to 0.7m with 10-11 second periods. Longer period, sure, but at that size, you’re not getting anything. Energy is still moderate (125 to 217), but it’s a tease.

The last stretch, 26th through 29th, brings back 1.2m to 1.3m with 6-7 second periods. Energy is moderate to strong (154 to 211), but the winds are still cross-on or onshore. The 27th morning has an offshore wind, but the wave comment still calls it poor. So even when the conditions look half-decent, the swell direction and period are all wrong for this break.

Sororoca needs a NE swell, and we’re getting E and ESE all the way. That’s just not going to cut it. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing notable there.

If you’re itching to do something, this setup looks better for kitesurfing – those cross-onshore winds and lumpy waves are your friend. But for surfing? No. We’re in for a solid two-week blank, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can shift, so don’t lose hope, but as it stands, I’d leave the board in the car.

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.
