The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Aracaju.
Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a bummer for the whole 16-day window. We’ve got a long stretch of "poor surf conditions" with no real standout sessions. The main issue is the wind. For the first week, from Tuesday the 14th right through to the weekend, we’re looking at a persistent cross-onshore flow that’s just going to chop things up. The swell is there, but it’s not clean.
For a beginner spot like Aracaju, the best you could hope for is a smaller, cleaner window. The water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no worries there.
The first real kick of energy comes in on the 29th of July, that’s a Wednesday. The swell is pumping up from the SSE with a long period of 15 seconds, pushing the combined energy over 2400 (moderate wave energy). That’s a proper groundswell, but for a beach break, that long period tends to make the waves wall up and close out. Plus, the wind is still onshore from the ESE, which will ruin any chance of a clean face. Even with a decent 6ft swell, it’s going to be a messy, lumpy mess. Honestly, for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing to get excited about here. If you’re not into kiting, I’d give this whole period a miss.
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.
