The Lowdown
Rusty here, taking a look at the next couple of weeks for the local lineup.
Honestly, it’s grim. From now until at least the 26th of August, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. That’s a solid 5-day stretch with no decent surf. The wind is mostly cross-on or on-shore, and the swell is tiny and weak.
Around Wednesday the 26th, the ocean tries to wake up with a long-period swell from the south, pushing the combined energy up to 267. But the report still calls it poor surf conditions. The wind is still cross-on and choppy, so even though there’s some energy, it’s messy. That pattern sticks with us right into September. Friday the 28th morning actually sees the energy spike hard to 916, which is a lot of power, but it’s all wasted with on-shore winds.
The water is about average temperature for this time of year, but that doesn’t help. Every single session in the 16-day window is flagged as poor. No clean swell, no glassy windows, no standout days. The waves are either too small, too ugly, or blown out.
For a spot like Aracaju, when the swell pushes over 1.5m it can be a handful for beginners, but to be honest, the conditions are so bad it wouldn’t matter. You wouldn’t want to be out there.
This is a real dry spell. It’s unusual for this area to be so quiet for this long, but forecasts can change. Keep your eyes on it, but for now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
