The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you – this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day forecast is a total bust for decent surf. There’s no good options, and the wind is just not playing ball.
Right now, we’re looking at the start of the period, and it’s already a struggle. On Monday morning, August 3rd, we’ve got a weak, wind-affected SE swell at Aracaju. It’s only 4ft with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak, sitting at 234 (234). The wind is a cross-on from the SE at 9 mph, and it’s choppy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the wave quality. It’s a flat-out poor surf call.
The whole first week is a bust. That Tuesday the 4th, the swell bumps up to 6ft from the ESE, but the wind is still onshore, and the energy is only moderate (705). The pattern just repeats: onshore winds, short-period slop, and poor surf conditions. There’s a period of several days, from the 3rd right through to the 8th, where there’s nothing to recommend. It’s a real gap, with no good waves.
Into the second week, it’s more of the same. The swell stays small and weak, and the wind never cleans up. There’s a moment on Friday the 14th where the period jumps to 12 seconds from the S, and the combined energy is moderate (667), but it’s still onshore and the wave comment is 'poor surf conditions'. Because it’s a long period swell at a beach break, it’s likely to break too straight and not form well. It’s just not the one.
For beginners, most of the swell here is under 5ft, so size isn’t the issue – it’s the quality. The wind is consistently cross-on or onshore, and the wave comment never changes. It’s not a situation for experts either. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the consistent onshore wind and the small, choppy conditions.
Look, with a break that’s ‘fairly consistent’ but scoring zeros across the board, the ocean is just having a quiet spell. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t plan your day around it. It’s a blank run.
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.
