The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. I’m looking at the forecast for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, there’s not much to get excited about. For Sororoca, a reef setup that rarely breaks, we’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions.

The first surfable day we see is Wednesday, August 19th in the afternoon, but it’s not worth paddling out. You’ve got cross-shore winds from the SE at 19 mph whipping up a lumpy cross-chop, and the swell is a weak 5 ft from the ESE at a short period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate at best, checking in at 210. The water temp is a normal 81°F for the time of year, so no surprises there, but the surf is just a mess.

This pattern doesn’t let up. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch of poor surf. From Thursday morning, August 20th, right through to the end of the month and into early September, it’s the same story. The swell direction stays locked in from the east or east-southeast, with heights bobbling between 3 ft and 5 ft, and periods between 6 and 8 seconds – that’s short-period, wind-affected junk. The combined energy stays in the moderate range, doing a little dance between 75 and 291. And the wind? It’s almost always a cross or cross-onshore, from the SE or ESE, at 9 to 19 mph, keeping the surface ugly. There’s even a risk of a thunderstorm on Thursday, August 27th morning.

For a break that’s already inconsistent and rarely breaks, this is a proper blank run. The only slight, and I mean *slight*, change comes on Thursday, September 3rd morning, when the wind finally swings directly onshore from the east. Unfortunately, the swell is still short-period and the conditions are still described as poor.

So, the honest truth is this: there are no good surf options in the entire 16-day window. For Sororoca, you’re better off doing something else for a while. If the wind was a bit stronger and the swell a bit bigger, this setup might be more interesting for kite surfing, but for a paddle? Not this time.

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.
