The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Aracaju over the next couple of weeks.

To be brutally honest, the outlook is a bit of a flat spell. We’ve got a solid 16-day window here, but it's pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The whole period is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds, with the swell direction coming from the E, ESE, and SE – that’s the exact opposite of what Aracaju needs to fire. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days, from the 28th of July through the 31st, are tiny. We’re talking ankle-to-knee high waves at 2 ft to 3 ft, with a short, weak period of 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak, reading between 69 and 101. It’s poor surf conditions with a gentle breeze chopping it up. Not worth paddling out for.

Moving into the first week of August, from the 1st to the 4th, the swell bumps up a little, getting to 4 ft to 5 ft, but the period is still a short 7 to 8 seconds. The energy picks up to moderate levels, hitting 420 on the 3rd, but it’s all onshore wind. The wind gets stronger on the 2nd of August, with a fresh breeze at 19 mph making it lumpy and choppy. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a surfing one, especially at a beach break like Aracaju.

The second week, from the 5th to the 12th of August, is more of the same. Swell heights hover around 3 ft to 5 ft, with periods slowly stretching to 8 seconds, and finally to 9 and 10 seconds by the 11th and 12th. The combined energy stays moderate, with a high of 448 on the 6th, but the wind is still onshore from the E or ESE. The longest period we see is 10 seconds, which is decent, but it’s completely wasted with the wind direction.

There are no standout days here. Not a single recommendation in the finder. The best you could hope for is a very marginal session on the 12th of August, where the swell is 4 ft from the ESE with a 10-second period and a gentle breeze, but it’s still onshore wind. The break is fairly consistent, so it tends not to stay this poor for long, but this run is a proper blank. Aracaju is an exposed beach, and with the wind blowing straight on or cross-on from the wrong direction, you’re better off waiting for a change in the forecast.

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.
