The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days look pretty grim for a paddle. I’ve looked at Aracaju, and honestly, the whole period is a write-off for any decent surf. There’s not a single recommendation to be found, and every single session shows “poor surf conditions.” The first few days have a bit of swell, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things.

From Sunday the 2nd right through to Monday the 17th, it’s a long stretch of nothing to get excited about. The wind is mostly from the east or southeast, blowing onto the shore, so the waves will be choppy and weak. The combined energy of the swells is mostly between 100 and 300, which is only moderate energy at best, and the swell heights rarely get above 4 ft. The swell period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just windswell, not the kind of groundswell that lines up nicely.

The only real standout, if you can call it that, is a tiny window on the 12th of August in the morning. A long-period swell arrives at 16 seconds, but it’s only 1 ft high. That’s a groundswell with a very long period, which would usually be great for a point break or reef, but Aracaju is an exposed beach break. That long period will make it break too straight and close out. The energy is still moderate at 160, but the wind is onshore, so it’s not going to be fun.

There’s nothing here for beginners, and certainly nothing for experts. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, no big anomaly to report. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the steady onshore winds. Don’t hold your breath for change; the forecast is consistent in its poor quality.

Rusty.

Information about the Aracaju Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Aracaju provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aracaju can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aracaju 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 (Aracaju) 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 Aracaju 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.
