The Lowdown

Well, folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the next couple of weeks, it's a bit of a tough stretch for Sororoca. We've got waves on the way, that's for sure, but the wind just ain't playing nice, and it's gonna keep things messy for a good while.

The setup is a consistent but short-period, weak swell that builds through the period. We're starting off with a small, disorganized pulse of about 3ft on Monday the 7th, but it's coming from the east with a short period, and the onshore and cross-shore winds are gonna have it chopped up and lumpy. The wave energy is weak at 129 (moderate), just not enough push to get any decent shape. Water temp is a warm 81°, which is about normal for this time of year, so achy joints aren't an issue.

Through Tuesday and Wednesday the swell ticks up slightly but stays in that 4ft to 4ft range with periods still under 8 seconds. Combined energy creeps up a bit, but it's all that moderate cross-onshore junk. The wind stays stubbornly out of the southeast and east-southeast, so we're in for a week of choppy, cross-onshore conditions. Sororoca is a reef break, but with this short-period, low-energy swell, it's not going to be doing much.

The gap between anything rideable and clean is, well, the whole forecast window. All the records are showing poor surf conditions from start to finish. The rare few days with actual swell size, like Thursday the 10th at just under 5ft, are still on that cross-onshore and choppy. It just feels like a whole of energy with nowhere to go.

The swell does build towards the end of the second week. By Monday the 21st we're seeing 5ft, and then it really starts to push on Tuesday the 22nd with 5ft to 6ft, with energy getting up to 372, which is moderate. But even then, we're stuck with that same cross-offshore wind. The period only gets back to a mediocre 8 seconds, so it's not doing this exposed reef any favors.

Honestly, with the wind and the period, this setup is a bit of a dog. For a paddle surfer, it’s mostly going to be a grind. If you're a kiter or a windsurfer, this stuff is going to look a whole lot more fun than it does sitting on a board. I’d be holding off and hoping the forecasts change, because right now, there's nothing on the horizon that has the quality to call a standout. It just goes to show, in this area, forecasts can spin on a dime, but until then, save your energy.

Stay stoked.

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.
