The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on offer for this stretch of coast. It’s a pretty grim picture, I gotta say.
Over this whole 16-day stretch, there’s nothing that qualifies as a proper recommendation. The only break listed is Sororoca, a rarely breaking reef that’s super picky. And for every day from Monday, August 3rd through Tuesday, August 18th, it’s just a series of poor surf conditions.
The water temp is around 81°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no complaints there.
The real problem is the wind. It’s stuck in a rut: mostly cross-onshore or cross from the SE, ESE, or E, blowing 12 to 16 mph. That means the surface is choppy and messy. We get a brief window of clean cross-offshore wind on the morning of August 12th, but the waves are still rated poor, so it doesn’t change the overall outlook.
The swell is all short-period windswell – 3 to 4 feet from the east or southeast, with periods of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy figures hit a moderate peak of 417 on August 11th, but with that onshore wind and short period, it’s just bumpy, unappealing surf. There’s no long-period groundswell, no glassy morning, no standout day.
If you had to pick the least bad option, it’d be the morning of August 12th with 3-4 foot swell from the ESE and that cross-offshore breeze. But for a spot that rarely breaks, it’s a gamble. Honestly, with the constant cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle session.
For a spot that’s inconsistent by nature, a run like this is pretty normal. Don’t write it off entirely, though – forecasts can change.
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.
