Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead for Sororoca. This is a reef break that only cranks up on the right swell, and we just aren't getting that magic combo. The swell direction from the ESE and E is nowhere near the optimum NE direction this spot craves, so we're chasing slopey, weak lines. To make matters worse, winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, which will keep things bumpy.

We kick off with Saturday, July 4th. The combined energy is moderate at 923, but a 12 mph cross-breeze and a 7 ft E-SE swell with a short, fat 9-second period will chop it up. That's a messy, marginal one for the experienced crew only.

Sunday, July 5th, is much the same story—6 ft to 6 ft of ESE swell, cross-breeze, and the energy dips to 688 and 703. It's just not clean.

The one standout window comes Monday, July 6th, in the morning. It's still not firing, but conditions tighten up a bit. The wind swings cross-offshore from the SSE at 16 mph, cleaning up the face on a 6 ft ESE swell. The period is still short at 8 seconds, and the combined energy is 562, but it's the cleanest we'll see. For a surfer who just needs to get wet and knows this reef, that morning session is your best bet. The water temperature is holding about average for this time of year.

After that, from Monday afternoon right through to the end of the run on July 19th, it's a desert of poor conditions. Swell drops under 5 ft, winds turn cross-onshore or choppy cross, the period languishes at 6 to 7 seconds, and the combined energy rarely even makes it to 200. There's zero quality or power. With Sororoca being a break that rarely breaks to begin with, this long blank run is pretty normal. The setup is so weak and windy that honestly, it looks more interesting for a kite surfer to get powered up than for anyone trying to paddle out.

Stay patient, check back closer to the time.

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.
