The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a solid run of onshore and cross-onshore winds that are just gonna chop up whatever small swell we’ve got. It’s a waiting game, and I don’t see any real standouts in this entire window. The only spot the data points to is Sororoca, and honestly, it’s not exactly firing. It’s a rare-break reef setup, so you’d be lucky to get a clean one anyway. The wave energy is weak, and the wind is just working against us, so for a good chunk of this forecast, it’s going to be blown-out and messy.

The water temp is sitting around 81°F, which is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a wetsuit unless you’re a real cold-water sook.

Right, so let’s walk through it. The forecast starts with a rough patch. From Friday the 11th through the end of the week, the swell is small, around 3ft to 4ft, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore at 12 to 16 mph. That’s a recipe for choppy, poor surf. The energy is weak to moderate, with values hovering between 129 and 233, but none of it translates to anything rideable. It’s just a mess. The period is short, under 8 seconds, which means the waves are weak and lack any punch.

This run of bad luck continues straight through the following week. From the 14th to the 21st, we’re seeing the same story: 3ft to 4ft of easterly windswell, cross-onshore winds, and nothing but poor surf conditions. The energy stays in that weak to moderate range, mostly between 100 and 187. There’s just no let-up in the wind. You’re looking at a solid week and a half of onshores and chopped-up surf. If I had to pick a low point, it’s the 18th and 19th when the wind kicks up on the 18th to 19 mph and we get some rain showers thrown in.

Now, there is a slight change as we get into the final days. Around the 23rd of September, the wind switches to directly onshore from the east, and I can’t tell you much about the wave state, but the onshore wind isn't doing us any favors. The swell stays around 4ft, and although the energy picks up a bit—getting up to 269 on the morning of the 24th—it’s still not enough to overcome that onshore bump. The 26th shows a little more energy at 209, but it’s still cross-onshore and short-period.

So, the honest truth is, there’s nothing here that I’d be excited about. This is a two-week gap of non-stop poor conditions. The only faint glimmer is maybe that last push of energy, but it's still all wrong. This looks more like a patch for the kitesurfers to get out and have fun in the wind, not us surfers. I’d be dusting off the longboard or finding a sheltered reef elsewhere, because Sororoca isn't delivering. This is a waiting game. Keep the board in the car, but don't hold your breath. Forecasts change, but right now it's a hard pass.

Stay patient,
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.
