The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin’ at ya. Let’s look at the situation for Sororoca.
Right off the bat, I gotta level with you—this stretch is a tough one. The finder is basically a blank slate for the whole sixteen days. There’s not a single recommendation in the window. That’s the reality for this spot: it’s a rare-breaking reef that needs everything to line up perfectly, and it’s just not happening this period.
We start on Tuesday, the 1st of September, and it’s already a no-go. The swell is a weak 4ft from the east, with a short period of 9 seconds, and combined energy is only 263 (moderate). But the wind is a cross-shore from the southeast at 12 mph, which is messing up what little shape there is. The water temp is 81°F, which is about average for the time of year with a small positive anomaly of 1°F, so nothing unusual there.
From Wednesday the 2nd all the way through to the 16th, the story doesn't change. The swell height bounces between 1ft and 5ft, mostly from the east or east-southeast. The periods are short, mostly between 6 and 9 seconds—only on the 15th and 16th do we see a longer period of 12 seconds, but the swell is tiny (1ft to 2ft) with weak combined energy (123 and 129), and the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore from the southeast, 16 to 19 mph. That’s just not going to produce anything rideable.
Every single entry in the file says “poor surf conditions.” This is one of those spells where the forecast just isn’t offering any hope. For a spot like Sororoca, which rarely breaks anyway, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. It’s a reef that needs the right direction and clean conditions, and neither are on the table.
That’s all I got for this one. Forecasts can always change, but for now, keep the board in the car.

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.
