Alright, this is Rusty. Gotta be straight with you—this outlook's a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a real blank run for us. There’s simply no good surf on offer at Sororoca. The forecast shows swell hanging around, mostly 2.6ft to 4.9ft, but it's a consistent story of poor surf conditions. The wind's nearly always cross-shore or cross-onshore, with speeds mostly 18 to 19 mph, chopping everything up. The swell period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it's weak, unshaped energy. The combined swell energy stays low to moderate—like (236) at the start—but all that gets ruined by the wind. Even the one morning on Wednesday, July 8th that had a "clean" call was only a score of 2 out of 10, still a no-go.

There is one break here, Sororoca. It's a reef setup that rarely breaks anyway. The optimum swell direction for it is from the NE, but all we get is E, ESE, and ENE swells. So the direction is never right for it to really fire. Crowds are only sometimes an issue, but that doesn't matter when there's nothing to ride. For the first week, we have little to talk about after Wednesday, July 8th; it goes completely flat for any worthwhile session. Into the second week, from the 15th onward, the swell gets smaller and the onshore wind picks up. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing—it's just too messy. It's a normal blank run for this area when conditions don't line up. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.

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.
