Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sororoca over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up: the surf outlook for Sororoca over the next 16 days is a tough one. I’ve looked at every bit of the forecast, and there just isn’t a good time to paddle out. The whole 16-day window is a blank run, and for this spot, that’s not unusual—it’s a reef break that rarely breaks, so you gotta be patient with it. Don't even think about getting your gear wet; it’s going to be poor surf conditions from start to finish.
From Tuesday, July 7th right through to Sunday, July 19th, it’s all no-go. We’re looking at weak to moderate wave energy—around 141 down to 83 for much of that time—with short-period, 6 to 7 second ESE swells. The wind is cross or cross-on from the SE, never truly offshore. You’ll have a moderate breeze on most days, and even when it’s a gentle breeze, the cross-onshore chop is going to ruin any chance of a clean wave. The water temp is 81°, which is about average for this time of year.
The first hint of something a little different comes on Monday, July 20th, in the morning. We see the swell push up to 6ft from the ESE with an 8-second period and the combined energy jumps to 537—that’s moderate energy. But even then, the wind is cross from the SSE at 16 mph, and the forecast is for “marginal surf” at best. It’s a glimmer, but not enough to save the run. After that, it’s right back to poor conditions through to Wednesday, July 22nd, with the swell staying around 5ft to 6ft and the same cross wind issues.
There are no standouts here. Nothing to get excited about. For a break that rarely breaks and is exposed to swells from the NE, the ESE wind and swell direction just aren’t doing us any favors. The optimum swell direction for Sororoca is NE, and we’re not seeing that at all. Honestly, if you’re looking at this setup for the next two and a half weeks, save yourself the trouble. This stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer given the consistent cross-shore wind and moderate swell. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a hard pass.

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.
