The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your local stretch. Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a tough run ahead. The only spot on the radar is Sororoca, and she’s a rare one to begin with, so this kind of quiet spell is pretty normal around here. It’s a reef break that rarely breaks, so when it’s not working, we’re just watching the horizon.

Looking at the whole 16-day window, from the 6th of August right through to the 21st, there’s not a single session that gets the nod. Every single day is rated as poor surf conditions. That’s a long, dry stretch, mates. We’re talking about a solid two weeks plus of cross-onshore winds, choppy water, and small, weak swell. The combined energy of all swells directed here is mostly in the weak to moderate range, with values like 126 and 114 in the first few days, and even when it bumps up to 325 on the 9th, it’s still messy.

The swell is mostly from the east, around 3 ft to 4 ft, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so it’s going to be weak and bumpy. The wind is consistently from the east or southeast, blowing at 12 to 16 mph, which is cross-on or cross. That keeps the surface choppy and ugly. There’s a brief moment on the 12th of August, Wednesday morning, where the wind shifts to a cross-off from the south, and the water is described as clean, but the swell is still only 3 ft with a short period, so it’s just not enough to get excited about. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Later in the second week, from the 15th of August, we see the swell period jump up to 13 and 14 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell, and the energy picks up to 260 and 282. But the wave height drops to 1 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is still onshore or cross-on from the east. It’s a tease – all that long-period energy but no size to ride. The 16th of August has an onshore wind from the ENE, which is a bit better directionally, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft. It’s just not happening.

The 20th of August sees the swell pushing 5 ft from the east, but the period is only 7 seconds, and the wind is a solid 16 mph cross-on. That’s a messy, blown-out shorebreak, not a surfable wave. There’s nothing here for a beginner, and even for an expert, it’s not worth paddling out.

Because the swell is mostly small, short-period, and the wind is a mess, and Sororoca is a reef setup, this is not a kite-surfing situation either. It’s just a flat, choppy, frustrating outlook. Keep the wax in the cupboard, folks. Things can change, but right now, there’s nothing on the menu.

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.
