Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Sororoca.

Honestly, mate, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle. Sororoca is a reef break, but it’s listed as “rarely breaks,” and unfortunately, the forecast is backing that up. The conditions are just not lining up for a decent paddle. From July 6th right through to July 21st, every single session is marked as “poor surf conditions.” There’s no real standout day, no hidden gem to get excited about.

The wind is a constant problem. It’s almost always cross-shore or cross-onshore, which is going to make the surface lumpy and choppy. The swell is on the small side, mostly hanging around 3 ft to 5 ft, coming from the east and southeast, which isn’t the optimum NE direction this spot needs. The period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, windswell stuff – not much push or shape. The combined energy is moderate at best, peaking at 486 on July 21st, but even then, the wind is still messy.

If you’re desperate for a surf, the morning of July 20th (Monday) might be your best bet. The swell is 5 ft from the east, with an 8-second period, and the energy is at 278. But the wind is cross-off from the SSE at 12 mph, which might offer a fleeting window of cleaner waves. It’s still not going to be great, but it’s the least bad option in a very long, dry spell. For most of this period, you’re better off leaving the board at home.

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.
