The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Aracaju is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, the models aren't painting a pretty picture. We’ve got a whole heap of "poor surf conditions" on the cards, with the first recommendation not even showing up until Wednesday the 19th of August. That's a long, flat gap right from the start.
First week
Honestly, for most of this week, you’re better off doing something else. Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are a write-off with onshore winds and messy, weak swell. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing special there.
We finally get a sniff of something on Wednesday the 19th of August. The morning shows a marginal window at Aracaju. The swell is 4ft from the E with a short period of 7 seconds and combined swell energy of (275), which is moderate. The wind is light and cross-shore from the NE at 6 mph, which will keep the surface pretty tidy with just small wind ripples. It’s rated for beginners and is fairly consistent, but crowds are sometimes a problem here. This is the one true standout, but it’s a marginal one at best.
After that, it drops right back off. The rest of the week is back to poor conditions with moderate cross-onshore winds and choppy surf.
Second week
The second week looks just as grim. From Friday the 21st right through to Monday the 24th of August, it’s the same story: weak, short-period swell from the ESE, cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The swell energy is weak to moderate, staying in the low hundreds. There’s nothing here to get excited about. The swell rarely gets above 3ft and the period is mostly 7 seconds, so it’s not going to produce any proper shape.
Forget about it. This is a blank run. With few consistent options on offer, a stretch like this is just how it goes here sometimes. Keep your eye on the forecasts; it tends not to stay this poor forever.
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.
