The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for Aracaju over the next two weeks.

Honestly, it's a tough outlook. The swell is nearly always onshore or cross-onshore, and the guidance is calling it poor surf conditions almost every single day for the entire 16-day window. There's no standout session, no real window of clean waves. The consistency is "fairly consistent" but that doesn't mean much when the quality is this low. The water temperature is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year.

We start off with some small, weak, short-period wind swell from the east on Sunday the 9th, around 3ft with an 8-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the east at 9 mph, making it choppy. The combined energy is weak (229). It's a no-go. Monday is even smaller at 3ft, still onshore and messy. Tuesday the 11th sees a little bump to 4ft from the southeast, but with a 7-second period and 12 mph onshore wind, it's just a choppy mess. The combined energy climbs to 193, but it's ugly.

Wednesday the 12th brings the biggest swell of the first week, 5ft from the southeast, but it's still onshore wind at 16 mph, and the period is a short 7 seconds. The energy jumps to 355, but it's not surfable. Thursday the 13th sees a shift to a longer-period groundswell from the south, 2ft with a 16-second period, but the wind is still onshore. The energy is moderate (333), but the waves are tiny and blown out.

Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th offer a little more energy (470 and 402), still from the south-southeast, with periods around 13-14 seconds, but again, cross-onshore winds ruin the surface. This pattern of onshore wind and poor surf just keeps repeating. Sunday the 16th through to Tuesday the 19th is the same story: small, onshore, and weak.

The only day that even gets a "marginal" rating is Saturday the 22nd of August. The morning has a 5ft southeast swell with a 9-second period, and for the first time the wind is a gentle cross-shore from the north-northeast at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate (376). It's not great, but it's the best of a bad bunch. The afternoon turns ugly again with 16 mph cross-onshore wind.

And then Sunday the 23rd afternoon sees a jump in energy to 865 from a 6ft swell, but it's cross-onshore and choppy. No good.

So, the bottom line: there's nothing to get excited about. If you're desperate, the Saturday morning of the 22nd is your only real chance to get a few grovelly ones in, but don't expect much. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off for a paddle. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

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.
