The Lowdown
Alright fellas, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Aracaju is serving up.
Honestly, it's a grim start. We're looking at a real flat spell for the first week and a half. The waves are tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the water's chopped up. The energy is weak to moderate, getting up to (425) mid-week, but with short period and bad wind, it’s no good. From Sunday the 11th all the way through to around the 21st of August, it's just one "poor surf conditions" after another. A long stretch of nothing.
The one tiny window of hope, and it's a long shot, is Wednesday the 19th of August. The swell bumps up to 5ft, and by the afternoon it's pushing 7ft from the ESE with a 9-second period. The energy goes strong to (1101). The catch? The wind is still blowing onshore. The report calls it "marginal"—you'd be relying on a good tide to save the day.
Aracaju itself is the only show in town. It's a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent. The water temp is a warm 80°, pretty normal for this time of year. But for this whole 16-day outlook, there just isn't a standout day. If you're hanging for a wave, watch that Wednesday the 19th for a chance at some bigger, more powerful lumps, but be ready for choppy, blown-out conditions.
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.
