The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. You’re looking at Aracaju, and I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch. The forecast is a long stretch of onshore wind and messy conditions. The swell is churning up, but it’s not working for us. The water is sitting at 80°, which is about normal for this time of year, a touch warmer than average, but nothing wild.
The first records of the forecast start on Monday, August 3rd, but it’s not a good look. We’ve got a 4ft SE swell coming in with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is weak (234). The wind is cross-on from the SE at 9 mph, and it’s choppy. That’s the story for the whole first week – nothing but "poor surf conditions" all the way through. The wind is coming from the east and southeast, it’s onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is short and weak. The energy levels are a joke, barely cracking 200 at times.
There is a real gap here. From Monday, August 3rd, right through to Sunday, August 16th, there is not a single recommendation for a surfable wave. That’s a solid two-week lull for this spot. The swell direction is constantly from the SE or ESE, which is not the optimum direction for Aracaju. The wind is working against it, and the breaks are just not holding shape.
The only glimmer comes on Monday, August 17th. The afternoon shows a 7ft swell from the SSE with a very long period of 15 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is massive (2264). That’s a heap of power. But it’s still onshore wind at 12 mph, and the report calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." That’s a long-range promise, so treat it with caution. A 7ft swell with that period is a big, powerful groundswell, but it’s going to be dumping straight onto the beach break. For a beginner, that’s way too big. For an expert, it might have some juice, but the wind is going to chop it up. It’s more of a kite surfing setup than a clean paddle session.
Honestly, from where I’m sitting, the best thing to say is keep the board in the car but don’t get your hopes up. The next 16 days are a write-off for Aracaju. The consistency is not there, and the conditions are just not working for us. The good news is that it doesn’t stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change, but for now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
