The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. I’m looking at the next sixteen days for Aracaju, and honestly, it’s a tough run. The finder shows zero good surf for the first two weeks. From Thursday 23 July all the way through to Wednesday 6 August, the waves are tiny – mostly 2 ft to 4 ft – with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds, and the wind is blowing straight onshore from the ESE or SE. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, often under 100 or barely cracking 200 (139–246). It’s poor conditions day after day. On a beach setup like this, with that wind and small swell, it’s actually more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Then on Thursday 6 August afternoon, we finally get a pulse. The swell hits 6 ft from the SE with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 1143 – that’s a solid shot of energy. Wind is still onshore from the SE at 12 mph, but the wave comment says “marginal.” The next day, Friday 7 August morning, the swell peaks at 8 ft from the SE, period 10 seconds, and energy of 1162. That’s a big, powerful swell, but it’s only for experts – that’s too big for beginners. The wind is offshore from the E at 9 mph, so clean! The afternoon holds at 8 ft, still offshore from the ESE. This is the only standout window. The break is Aracaju – a beginner-friendly beach break, but with this size and a long period, it’s going to be a proper groundswell. The swell direction is ESE, but the optimum direction for this spot is S, so it’s not quite lining up perfectly.
Water temp is 79°F with a normal anomaly of 0.7°, so average for the time of year.
After weeks of nothing, that spike on 6 and 7 August is the only thing worth paddling for. It’s over a week away, so it’s promising but not locked in. If the wind stays offshore, Friday 7 August morning could be a proper session. Otherwise, it’s a dry spell.
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.
