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

Well, I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a real quiet stretch of beach, and honestly, for the keen surfer, there’s not much to get excited about. The only spot on the radar is Sororoca, a reef break that, truth be told, rarely breaks. It’s got a 2/5 overall quality rating and it’s exposed to the swell, but the optimum swell direction is from the NE, and we just aren’t getting that.

The forecast kicks off on Friday, 10 July, and we’ve got some small, short-period swell pushing in. Through the morning, the swell is a tiny 3ft from the east with a period of only 6 seconds. That’s weak, windswell energy, right around 110 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a cross-shore, 12 mph from the SSE, kicking up a cross-chop. It’s messy. The afternoon doesn’t get any better, with the same size and a cross-shore breeze at 16 mph. The surf condition is just poor.

Saturday, 11 July, is a bit of the same story. Swell bumps up slightly to 4ft in the morning with a 6-second period, but the wind is still a cross-shore 16 mph from the SE. The energy is a bit higher, around 280 (moderate), but the chop is still there. It’s a no-go. The afternoon drops back to 4ft.

Sunday, 12 July, through to the end of the first week, the wind shifts to a cross-onshore, and it’s a lot of the same. Swell stays around 3ft to 4ft, period is a poor 7 seconds, and the wind keeps it choppy. The energy stays in the moderate range, between 100 and 200. There’s no standout day here. The waves are just too small and the wind is never clean.

We roll into the second week, from Monday, 14 July, to Saturday, 25 July, and the pattern doesn’t really change. Swell sizes hover between 3ft and 6ft, but the period is still short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds. The wind is a constant cross-shore or cross-onshore, often from the SSE or SE, at 12 to 19 mph. The energy does pick up a bit eventually, climbing to 399 (moderate) on the 22nd, but it’s still a messy, lumpy cross-chop. The surf condition is consistently described as “poor.”

There’s one day, Saturday, 25 July, where the swell gets to 5ft with a slightly better 9-second period, and the energy is up at 367 (moderate). But the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore from the SSE, mixing up a lumpy cross-chop. It’s still not the clean, lined-up stuff we want.

So, the bottom line is this: we have a full 16-day window with no good surf to recommend. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is always wrong. This reef just isn’t firing. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a pretty normal blank run for the area. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to ride.

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.
