Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to call. The outlook for the next 16 days is a real struggle. We're looking at Sororoca, a reef setup that rarely breaks and is exposed to the swell, but the conditions just aren't cooperating.

The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so that's not the issue. The problem is the wind and the waves. The whole forecast period is a mess of cross-shore, cross-onshore, and overall choppy, poor surf. The combined swell energy for the first week is mostly weak to moderate, with values like 109 on Tuesday and 112 in the afternoon, but it's just not clean enough to make anything of it.

The swell direction is mostly from the ESE or E, while the optimum swell for Sororoca is NE, so it's coming from a less-than-ideal angle. The period is short, sitting at 6-7 seconds, meaning weak, gutless waves. The wind is a constant problem, with a moderate breeze from the SSE or SE, creating a cross-chop that's really unappealing.

There's a small spike around Friday the 10th with a moderate energy of 359, but it's still a short-period 5ft ESE swell with cross-shore winds, described as "poor surf conditions." Not a winner.

The second week doesn't offer any relief. The pattern continues with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. There's a blip on the 17th with a 6ft ESE swell (396 energy), but it's still cross-onshore. The best of a bad bunch might be the 20th and 22nd, where the period stretches to 8 seconds and the swell size is around 5ft, with energy values hitting 473 and 486. But the wind is still cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is still "poor surf conditions." It's just not coming together for a proper paddle session.

Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the constant chop and onshore flow. The short period and poor quality mean there's nothing to recommend here. It's a dry spell, but for a spot that rarely breaks, this is more normal than not. We'll have to wait for a change.

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.
