The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Aracaju. Honestly, it’s a real slow period. We’re looking at a long dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for from now all the way until Wednesday, July 30th. After that, we finally get a little pulse.
The only break in town is Aracaju, and for the first couple of weeks, it’s mostly onshore wind and weak swell. The water temp is 26°, right around average for the season.
The one true standout comes late in the game. On Friday, July 31st, we get a serious pulse of 7ft swell out of the SSE, with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s a deep-water groundswell packing some heavy energy (energy value of 2140). The wind is onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, so not perfect, but the size and period make it the best on offer. This is expert territory – anything over 8ft is no joke for beginners. That long period will make the waves powerful but a bit close-out at a beach break. Crowds are a real possibility.
Just before that, on Thursday, July 30th, there’s 6ft from the SSE at 13 seconds, but again, onshore wind, so it’s not a priority.
For the first two weeks, don’t bother. The 31st is your only real hope, and it’s a long way out so don’t hold your breath.
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.
