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

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. This reef rarely breaks, and over the next 16 days, it’s just not lining up. The swell is mostly small, weak, and coming from the wrong direction, and the wind is a constant problem. There’s a big gap from now all the way through to late July with no real green light – mostly cross-shore and cross-onshore breezes messing up what little wave energy there is.

The water temp is sitting around 81°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock to the system.

Let’s break it down. From the 12th of July right through the 21st, the combined swell energy is weak to moderate – mostly two-digit numbers, peaking around 247 (moderate) on the 18th and 21st – but the swell height stays under 5 ft, and the period is short (5 to 8 seconds). That’s junk. The wind is never offshore, it’s either cross, cross-on, or onshore, anywhere from 9 to 19 mph. That’s light chop to lumpy, ugly stuff. No good.

The only time the forecast even hints at a pulse is around the 22nd of July. We see a bump in combined energy to 578 and 631 (moderate to strong) with swell height hitting 6 ft from the ESE, period stretching to 8 seconds. That’s the biggest swell of the window. But the wind is still cross-shore at 16 mph, and the wave comment says “marginal” at best. For a reef that’s exposed to NE swell, this ESE angle isn’t ideal, and the wind will keep it messy. That 22nd is the only day that even gets a score of 1, but it’s not a standout – it’s more of a “maybe if you’re desperate” situation.

Honestly, for the rest of the run, the swell wobbles between 3 ft and 5 ft, but the period stays short, the wind stays cross or cross-on, and the energy is weak to moderate. Nothing is lining up. It’s a flat, poor run.

If you’re a kite surfer, the wind is consistent enough on those afternoons with 16 mph cross-shore – that might be more interesting than a paddle. But for a surf, I’d say keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast. This stretch looks like a write-off.

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.
