The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the Aracaju stretch. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. There’s a long stretch of nothing worth chasing, and when the swell finally shows some size, the wind and conditions are just not cooperating.

The outlook kicks off on Saturday 25 July, and honestly, through the end of the month, it’s a bust. We’re talking about a solid week of weak, short-period windswell, barely pushing 3 ft from the ESE, with a period of just 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, reading between 70 and 128 (moderate at best), and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. That’s just poor surf – messy, small, and blown out. There’s nothing to recommend here.

We roll into the first week of August, and the swell bumps up a little. By Saturday 1 August, the waves hit 5 ft, and it climbs to 5 ft on Sunday 2 August, still short period (7 seconds) and from the ESE. The energy is moderate (210 to 330) but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. The surf quality is still poor. This is not the time to get excited.

The real tease comes in the second week. On Wednesday 5 August, we see a pulse of longer-period swell – 12 seconds from the S – hitting 3 ft with a combined energy of 492 (strong). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, so it’s going to be lumpy and messy. The conditions are poor.

Then Thursday 6 August through Sunday 9 August, the swell really builds. By Friday 7 August, we’re looking at 6 ft to 7 ft from the SSE with a 10-second period, and the energy jumps to 1161 and 1580 (very strong). On Saturday 8 August, it peaks at 8 ft to 8 ft from the SE, period 11 seconds, energy over 1635 (very strong). That’s legit groundswell. But – and it’s a big but – the wind is onshore, 16 to 19 mph, with rain showers. The combination of that size, short-to-medium period, and onshore wind will make Aracaju a mess. This is a beach break, so that long-period groundswell will be breaking straight, and the strong onshore wind will just mush it up. For experts only, and even then, it’s going to be a battle. Honestly, with that much wind and size, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The one standout in the whole 16-day window? If I’m being honest, there isn’t one. The only flicker of something is that Wednesday 5 August, with the 12-second S swell, but the wind ruins it. For a surfer, the best advice is to save your energy. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Aracaju is exposed, but it’s just not getting the right combination of swell and wind.

Keep an eye on the forecasts, but right now, it’s a no-go.

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.

Aracaju is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Barra dos Coqueiros. If you plan a holiday in Sergipe, look for hotels and other accommodation in Barra dos Coqueiros. Barra dos Coqueiros has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
