The Lowdown
Alright, ol’ mate Rusty here. Let’s see what Aracaju has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
The short story is: I’m looking at the board and there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a total blank. Not a single day where the surf stacks up with clean conditions and a bit of push. We’ve got a stretch from the 27th of July all the way through to the 11th of August with no real rides on offer. That’s a long dry spell, and it’s the kind of run that’s more normal for this area when the winds and swell don’t line up.
The only break on the list is Aracaju. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but right now the wind is a pest. From Monday morning the 27th, it’s a light cross-onshore with a tiny 2 ft swell from the ESE and a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (59). That’s just poor surf, small and messy. Through the week, the onshore wind picks up, and the swell stays small and short-period. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Into the first week of August, the swell does bump up a little – we’re looking at 4 ft to 5 ft on the 1st and 2nd, but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, chopping it all up. The combined energy gets into the moderate range (189 to 340), but it’s wasted on a messy surface. Not one for the log or the shortboard.
Later in the second week, around the 7th and 8th, there’s a bit more energy – 420 on the 7th morning – but the wind is cross-shore and the swell is still short period. The 9th has a long-period 13-second swell from the south, but it’s tiny at 2 ft and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy and unrideable. The rest of the run stays poor.
Honestly, if you’re keen to get wet, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially when the wind gets up. But for proper waves, it’s a no-go. Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay poor for long around here, and forecasts can change.
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.
