The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy for the Aracaju area. We’ve got a long stretch of onshore and cross-onshore winds, and the swell is coming in short and weak. The water is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn’t come until the morning of Friday, August 14th. Before that, it’s all poor surf conditions with scores of zero. The wind is mostly from the ESE and SE, blowing right onshore or cross-onshore, making everything choppy and unappealing.
Friday morning, the 14th, is a marginal call. We’re seeing a small 3ft swell from the SSE with a long period of 14 seconds, but it’s light cross-onshore from the E. The combined energy (332) is moderate, but the conditions are just borderline. It’s one for the hardcore longboarders who don’t mind a bit of chop.
The only real standout in this 16-day window, and the one to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Saturday, August 15th. Aracaju picks up a clean 3ft groundswell from the SSE with a very long period of 17 seconds. The wind swings light cross-shore from the NE, which is a major positive. The combined energy hits 628, which is strong. This is the best we’re going to get. The long period means the sets will be well-spaced and the waves will have proper shape, but it can also make the waves close out at a beach break. Still, with light cross-shore wind, it’s your best shot at a few clean ones. Keep in mind crowds are possible here.
After that, the rest of the outlook is a write-off. Sunday the 16th is back to small, choppy, and cross-onshore, and the pattern just continues with poor conditions all the way through to Saturday, August 22nd. The swell stays small, the wind stays ugly, and the combined energy rarely gets into the moderate range.
It’s a tough run for Aracaju. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the Saturday morning the 15th is your only real window for something decent. Otherwise, keep the board in the bag and wait for a better 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.
