The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about the next couple of weeks: it’s looking bleak. I’ve got the charts for your area and it’s a relentless run of poor surf. There’s swell, sure, but it’s all messed up by the wind. You’re gonna be looking at chop and mush for the foreseeable future.

The first chance, and I use that word as a joke, is this Sunday, the 16th. Sororoca is your only spot, and it’s a reef break, which is a plus. But this break "rarely breaks" as it is, so we need everything to be perfect. It won't be. We’re looking at a 2ft swell from the ESE with a 12-second period, which has some energy, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore from the SSE. That’s gonna wreck that tiny bit of push. The combined energy is weak at 235, and it’ll be lumpy and cross-choppy. Not worth the paddle.

The rest of the first week is a carbon copy. Monday the 17th through Thursday the 20th stay in the poor category. Swell stays small, around 4 to 5ft, but the period drops right off to a weak 6 to 7 seconds. That’s just wind-slop, not real surf. Winds are a moderate 16 mph cross-onshore, keeping everything bumpy and uninviting. The energy isn’t even reaching moderate levels, just weak to moderate, hovering in the 150 to 200 range.

The only slight change comes around Friday the 21st and into the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. The wind eases a little, dropping to 9-12 mph, but it’s still cross-onshore. The swell remains small and short-period. It’s a subtle shift from "terrible" to "still not good." You’d be out there chasing nothing.

We roll into the second week with more of the same. From Monday the 24th right through to Sunday the 30th, the forecast is just bad. The swell stays in that knee-to-waist high range, maybe hitting 5ft at times on the 25th, but the period is stuck at a junky 7 seconds. Winds mostly stay moderate and cross-onshore, with a few days of that fresh cross-shore lumpiness again. The energy stays weak to moderate, nothing that’ll get your blood flowing.

If you’re desperate, the very end of the month, the 29th and 30th, might be your best bet, and that’s saying something. The wind finally swings around to an onshore direction at a gentle 9 mph, which means it’s cleaner than the cross-shore junk. The swell is weak, only about 4ft, and the energy drops to a weak 86-113. But the period is a terrible 6 seconds. It’s still poor, but it’s the least bad option on the table.

Honestly, this whole window is a blank. There are no standouts, no days where you’d call in sick. For a spot as inconsistent as Sororoca, a stretch like this isn’t a surprise. The setup is all over the place. I’d say leave the board in the car and find something else to do for the next 16 days. Forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn't hold my breath.

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.
