The Lowdown

Alright, let's get real about what's happening. Rusty here.

Honestly, mates, the next few weeks look pretty bleak around here. The only spot on the radar is Sororoca, and it’s a real tough one to call. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, so when I say there’s something on the cards, don't go booking your flights just yet. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any proper surf, with a couple of very marginal windows right at the far end that *might* just be worth a look if you are absolutely desperate.

Right now, and through the whole of July and into early August, it’s a story of poor conditions. The swell is there, but it’s short-period, weak stuff. For most of the period, we’ve got a weak, short-period easterly swell running from 3 ft up to 5 ft, with combined swell energy ranging from a very weak 94 all the way up to a moderate 442. But it doesn’t matter because the wind is always cross-shore or cross-onshore and lumpy. It’s sloppy, it’s choppy, and it's just not worth paddling out.

The only thing that even comes close to a suggestion is the Wednesday morning of the 29th of July. We see a bit of a shift, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the south. The swell is from the southeast at 4 ft with a period of 7 seconds, giving a combined energy of 263 – still moderate. But the key is the clean wind. It’s only an “intermediate” break, and the swell is small and short-period, but for a spot that rarely offers anything, this is the one drop of hope in a dry well. The water temp is around 81° with a tiny anomaly, so it's pretty average for this time of year.

Don't expect any style. This is a bare-minimum session for someone who *has* to get wet. For the rest of the time, save your energy. If the swell ever does pick up with a better direction, remember Sororoca likes swell from the NE, but that’s not in the cards at all.

Keep your eyes on the long-range charts, but for now, don’t hold your breath.

- 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.
