The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight about it – this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window staring at us, and honestly, the first swell that shows any real promise doesn’t even pop up until August 28th, so there’s a blank day to start.

For the whole run, the only break on the map is Sororoca. It’s a reef set-up, but she’s a fickle one – rarely breaks. The swell direction is all over the shop, mostly from the east, but the optimum for this place is from the NE, so we’re constantly fighting a bit of a mismatch.

From Thursday the 28th of August right through to Thursday the 11th of September, every single session is tagged as poor surf conditions. The wind is a constant problem – mostly a cross-onshore breeze from the ESE or SE, blowing at 12 to 19 mph, keeping things choppy and lumpy. Swell heights hover around that 4ft to 5ft mark, but the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, crumbly stuff. The combined energy barely ever cracks 300, sitting mostly in the low-to-mid 100s and 200s (239, 267, 313), which is just weak energy – not enough grunt to push proper waves into that reef.

There’s a curious spike on the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. A piddly little 2ft swell from the ESE shows up, but the period jumps to 16 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell, and the combined energy shoots up to 409 – strong energy. But here’s the heartbreaker: the wind is still a messy cross-onshore at 16 mph, and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” That long-period energy might line up nicely at a point or reef if the wind were offshore, but it’s not our day.

The water temp sits around 81°F with a tiny anomaly of 1°F, so about average for this time of year – no surprises there.

So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, there isn’t a standout. If I had to point you somewhere, it would be the 11th of September, Friday morning. For just one window, the wind ticks to “on” from the east at 16 mph, with a 4ft swell from the east at 8 seconds. The energy is moderate at 313, and while it’s not perfect, it’s the only time all period the wind isn’t actively messing things up from the side. Still, this is a scrape, not a score.

Don’t get your hopes up for anything epic here in this 16-day run. For the Sororoca area, a quiet spell like this is more normal than a blast. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off finding something else to do.

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.
