The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk Sororoca. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, and over the next 16 days, it’s looking pretty bleak.
The forecast starts on July 26th with a weak 3ft swell from the ESE, short period of 7 seconds, cross wind. Nothing worth paddling for. There’s a long stretch here with no worthwhile surf – days and days of cross winds and poor conditions.
You have to wait until August 4th – that’s a Tuesday – where the swell picks up to around 6ft from the ESE, the period stretches to 8 seconds at times, and the combined energy climbs to 725. That’s moderate wave energy, but the cross-shore wind leaves it choppy and marginal at best. For a break that rarely turns on, this is not great.
The best shot here – and it’s a slim one – is the morning of August 8th, a Saturday. Swell holds at 6ft from the ESE, period again at 8 seconds, energy at 553, and the wind drops to a gentle breeze from the SE. That gives you lighter cross-shore with only a slight cross-chop. Crowds are possible sometimes at Sororoca, so you will likely have company. It’s still marginal, but it’s the cleanest window in the entire outlook.
Wave direction is off, too – the optimum for this reef is from the NE, and the forecast is stubbornly pumping ESE to E. Periods mostly sit below 8 seconds, so there’s no proper groundswell energy or well-shaped lines.
The water is sitting around 80°F, with a normal anomaly for this time of year.
Everything considered, this run is a long dud. You’ve really only got a few marginal mornings from August 4th to the 8th, and I’d only pick the 8th if I was desperate. For kite surfers, the consistent cross-chop and poor surf conditions may actually be more interesting – the paddle surfer is in for a tough time.
This is Rusty. Out.

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.
