The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about the Aracaju stretch over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough run. The finder is coming up empty for a good reason. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, but honestly, there's nothing that screams "go get it." The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off, with a gap of about 12 days before we even see a glimmer of something that might be surfable.

Right now, through the 16th and into the 24th, it's a saga of onshore wind and junky, poor surf. We're looking at chest-high swell around 4 ft to 6 ft, but it's all short-period SE windswell (8 seconds or less) with cross-on winds from the SSE and SE. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty standard for this time of year. The combo energy is moderate, ranging from 309 to 588 (moderate wave energy), but with the wind making a mess of it, it's just ugly. Honestly, for a beach setup like this, with consistent onshore flow and lumpy conditions, you'd be better off rigging a kite than trying to paddle out. That's a "kite-surfing" kind of wind, not a longboard kind.

The only faint heartbeat in this forecast is on the 29th of July into the 30th. We get a rare burst of long-period groundswell from the SSE, with a period of 18 seconds and a very long 19 seconds on the 31st. The swell height is tiny, only 1 ft to 2 ft. The energy is moderate (up to 551), but with a period that long, it'll be super clean, but also super straight and fickle. For a beach break like Aracaju, a long period swell like that can be a bit of a trick – it'll break straight and fast, not great for a standard beach break. But if the wind ever goes glassy, it could be a fun novelty wave for a super experienced surfer on a longboard. It's a "maybe" at best, and it's a long way off.

So, bottom line: the next 12 days are a miss. The last few days of the month have a whisper of clean, long-period energy, but it's tiny and unreliable. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.

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.
