The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again – same story, different units. The next sixteen days are a dead loss. Nothing to surf. Not a single good session from Thursday, July 23rd through Friday, August 7th. The only break in the area is Sororoca, a finicky reef that “rarely breaks” at the best of times. When there’s any swell at all, the wind stuffs it up. If you kite surf, this run might look interesting; for a paddle surfer, it’s a total bust.
Thursday the 23rd: a tiny 4 ft easterly swell, 8-second period, and a cross-onshore wind at 9 mph trashes it into a choppy mess. Water temp’s about 80°, which is normal for the season – anomaly is barely 0.5°, nothing wild – but that doesn’t fix the surf. The combined wave energy is only 212 – a weak number, and it feels that way. Friday the 24th is 4 ft, but still cross-shore or cross-onshore with light wind that doesn’t clean it up. Saturday and Sunday are the same cross-wind rubbish, with energy figures mostly below 300. There’s a blip on Monday, August 3rd: 6 ft of easterly swell, period stuck at 8 seconds, and energy hitting 737 – that’s moderate – but the wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph, so it’s bumpy and useless.
There is no standout. Nothing is worth paddling out for. This reef doesn’t break often, and this forecast isn’t giving it a chance. A complete zero. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t bother.

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.
