The Lowdown

Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Sororoca. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and looking at the next 16 days, it’s staying that way. The whole run is a write-off for surf - no good options at all.

For the first week, from Tuesday the 18th right through to the following Monday, it’s all poor surf conditions. The swell is a weak, short-period 3ft to 5ft from the ESE and E, with a period of just 6 to 7 seconds - that’s chopped-up, wind swell with no power. The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak to moderate, ranging from 103 to 250, but it doesn’t matter because the wind is a mess. It’s either a moderate or fresh cross-onshore or cross breeze from the SE and ESE, gusting at 12 to 19 mph, so the surface is consistently choppy and lumpy. Water temperature is 81°F with a 1°F anomaly, which is about average for the time of year. Nothing to get excited about.

The second week, from the 26th of August through to the 2nd of September, is the same story. Swell stays small, around 3ft to 5ft from the E and ESE, with a 6 to 7 second period, and the combined energy stays weak to moderate (106 to 233). The wind is still cross or cross-onshore, 12 to 19 mph, so the surface is always messy. It’s all poor surf conditions, every session. There is not a single standout, not one moment where the wind cleans up or the swell gets a decent pulse. For the whole 16 days, the forecast is blank.

This is a reef break that is rarely consistent, and this run of poor conditions is more normal for the area. Don’t bother paddling out here for the next fortnight. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that consistent cross-shore wind. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.

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.
