The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s cookin’ for Aracaju. Gotta be straight with you, this whole 16-day stretch is a bit of a heartbreaker.
Right off the bat, there’s really nothing to get excited about. The entire forecast period is littered with "poor surf conditions" – that’s the honest truth. For the first week and a half, through to the end of July, wave heights are mostly tumbling around the 2 ft to 5 ft mark, with a weak, short-period swell from the ESE. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100 and often just a couple hundred points at best. The wind is a constant onshore mess, mostly from the E, ESE, or SE at 9 to 12 mph, which is killing any chance of a clean wave. It’s just bumpy, weak, and gutless.
There’s a slight bump in size around the 22nd of July, with a 6 ft to 6 ft ESE swell, but the energy is still moderate and the wind is still onshore, so it’s just a bigger version of chop. Not worth paddling out for.
The only real blip of interest comes way out at the end – Monday, August 3rd afternoon. The swell jumps to 4 ft, but it’s from the S with a long period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy skyrockets to 914 (strong wave energy). That’s a proper groundswell signal. But before you get your hopes up, the wind is howling onshore from the SE at 19 mph. That much wind on a short-period wave is gonna be a washing machine, and even with that long period, it’s going to be blown out and messy. For a beach break, that long period might make it a bit too straight anyway.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.
Honestly, pal, this is a barren run. There’s not a single day I’d point you to and say "go." The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that consistent onshore breeze and some moderate swell days. For us surfers, it’s a waiting game. The good news is, Aracaju is a fairly consistent spot, so a blank run like this isn't the norm. Forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled, but for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
