The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on the Aracaju surf for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the water temperature is about 80°, which is just a touch warmer than the average for this time of year. Nothing crazy.
But I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a real dud for the first stretch. From Friday the 31st of July all the way through the 5th of August, we’ve got a big ol’ gap with no surf to speak of. The swell is puny, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the conditions are just plain poor. Don’t even bother.
We get a little pulse on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August, with a combined energy reading of 553 (moderate wave energy), but the report calls it marginal and the conditions are unknown. The wind is onshore and the swell is only 8 seconds. It’s a tease, not a treat.
The whole first week and into the second keeps the same theme: onshore winds, short period swell (mostly 6 to 8 seconds), and poor surf quality. The combined energy numbers bounce between 109 and 447, which is weak to moderate, but the wind just messes up the surface.
If you’re looking for the best of a bad bunch, aim for the morning of Saturday the 15th of August. We’ve got a 1.3m swell from the East with an 8-second period, and combined energy of 447 (moderate wave energy). The wind is onshore from the ESE at 15 km/h, which is a gentle breeze, but still onshore. The forecast still says poor surf conditions, so don’t get your hopes up.
Later that same afternoon, the swell switches to a 0.6m groundswell from the SSE with a very long 16-second period, and combined energy of 369. That’s some deep-ocean energy, but at that size and with onshore wind, it’s more of a curiosity than a proper session.
So yeah, this is a rough two weeks for Aracaju. The wind is wrong, the swell is small, and the quality is consistently poor. No standout sessions here. Sometimes it’s just like that. Keep your eyes on the forecast, but for now, I’d say the waves are taking a holiday.
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.
Aracaju is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Barra dos Coqueiros. If you plan a holiday in Sergipe, look for hotels and other accommodation in Barra dos Coqueiros. Barra dos Coqueiros has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
