The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Aracaju over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a flat, blown-out mess. There’s nothing on offer right now, and the forecast just keeps serving up onshore wind and weak, short-period slop. We’re looking at a solid run of days with no real surf to get excited about. From now until the end of July, it’s a write-off. The wind is mostly from the ESE and E, blowing straight onshore, and the waves are small, choppy, and gutless. The best you can hope for is a 3ft crumbler on the 24th, but even that’s got no energy and a short 8-second period, plus the onshore breeze will chop it up. It’s frustrating, but it happens.
The waiting game continues into the first week of August. The swell does start to bump up a touch around the 2nd of August, with a 5ft to 6ft ESE swell rolling in. The energy picks up a bit—combined energy around 346 (moderate)—but the period is still a short 8 seconds, and the wind stays onshore from the SE. The surf will be there, but it’ll be raw and bumpy, proper average conditions. For a beginner, anything over 5ft can be a handful, and with the wind, it’s not a fun paddle.
The only real glimmer in this whole outlook comes right at the very end. On the 4th of August, the afternoon shows a 3ft swell from the S, but check this out, the period stretches to 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell signal, and the combined energy jumps to 459 (moderate). The wind is a light ESE breeze, still onshore, but it’s gentle. The quality won’t be perfect, but that longer period will give you a bit more push and shape compared to the junk we’ve been seeing. It’s still not a standout, just the least bad option on the table. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for the time of year, so no worries on the chill.
For the average surfer, there’s nothing worth packing the car for. The onshore winds and weak swells mean the beach breaks will be choppy and frustrating. Honestly, if you’re really keen for a paddle in the second week, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the consistent onshore breeze and small, bumpy waves.
Stay patient, folks. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run. Aracaju is just in a flat 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.
