The Lowdown

Right, folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the swells and winds we’ve got lined up for the Sororoca area, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a grim picture. The finder is showing me a sixteen-day window that’s pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing.

Let’s start with the bad news. Sororoca is a reef break that rarely breaks to begin with, and this stretch of forecasts just doesn’t do it any favours. From Thursday the 30th of July right through to the 14th of August, the story is the same: poor surf conditions. The wind is almost always a cross-shore or cross-onshore, ranging from a moderate breeze (12 mph) up to a fresh breeze (19 mph), which is going to put a nasty chop on anything that tries to form.

The swell is small and weak for the first week, with heights around 3 ft to 6 ft, and a short, weak period of just 6 to 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is low, under 100 at the start, and even when it bumps up to 329 and 332 on the 1st of August, the wind is howling and cross-shore, so it’s just going to be a lumpy mess. The wave comment for every single session is either "poor surf conditions" or "marginal surf forecast".

There’s a slight uptick in energy on the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August, with a combined energy of 753, but it’s still a cross-shore breeze and the wave comment stays poor. Honestly, with that much wind and that kind of short-period swell, you’d be better off looking at a kite than a surfboard. The setup here is far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The only glimmer of something different comes on the 10th and 11th of August, when the wind finally swings onshore from the east and east-northeast, but at a light 6–9 mph. The swell is still tiny – 3 ft to 4 ft – and the period is short at 7 seconds, so while it might be a bit cleaner, it’s still not going to offer much. It’s a long way out, and forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn’t bother getting the wetsuit wet.

So, there’s no standout here. No best on offer. It’s a blank run that’s pretty normal for an area like this when the winds don’t cooperate. Let’s hope for a pattern shift.

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.
