The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've scanned the charts for the local area and, to be honest, it's a pretty grim run for the next sixteen days. The only break that's even on the radar is Sororoca, a reef setup, but it rarely breaks and the forecast is a total write-off.
There's a big gap of nothing but poor surf conditions from the start. The first shot is Monday afternoon, July 13th, but it's a no-go. We see a small 3ft swell from the east with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (119). The wind is onshore from the ENE at 6 mph, and the water temp is 81°, which is about average for the time of year. But it's all for nothing – the waves are just junk.
The whole 16-day window is a bust. Every single entry says "poor surf conditions." The wind never lets up, mostly cross-onshore from the SE, and it gets downright fresh at times, hitting 19 mph. The swell gets a little bigger around July 25th, hitting 6ft from the ESE with a moderate energy reading (539), but the wind is still cross-onshore and choppy. It's a complete write-off for a paddle surfer. If you're into kite surfing, the stronger winds and lumpy conditions might be your thing, but for a surfboard, it's a hard pass.
So, there's nothing to recommend. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's not unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, don't waste your time.
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.
