The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for our region is a tough one. I’ve looked at everything, and honestly, there isn’t a single standout session worth paddling out for. The conditions are just persistently poor, with mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds messing up any swell that shows up. It’s a real dry spell.
We start off from Saturday the 18th of July with some swell, but it’s a no-go. The wind is howling straight onshore from the southeast at 16 mph, turning a 6ft SSE swell into a mess. The combined wave energy is moderate at best (917), but it doesn’t matter when it’s blown out. This pattern just keeps going. Sunday the 19th through Monday the 20th sees rain showers and more onshore wind, with swell around 5ft to 6ft from the SE, but the quality is shot. The energy drops a bit (around 377 to 465), but it’s still poor.
Tuesday the 21st gives us a glimmer of lighter wind, a gentle breeze from the east at 9 mph, but it’s cross-onshore, so the 5ft ESE swell is just choppy and weak (346 energy). Wednesday the 22nd should see a bit more push with a 6ft ESE swell (744 energy), but again, the wind is onshore. It’s a frustrating pattern. From Thursday the 23rd right through to the end of the month, the swell sizes drop off. We’re looking at 4ft down to 2ft from the ESE or SE, with short periods (7-8 seconds) and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy falls into the weak to low-moderate range (74 to 169). There’s a stretch of days here with absolutely nothing to recommend.
The water temp is a balmy 79°F, which is about average for the time of year, so that’s one thing you can’t complain about.
Look, this is a blank run. For this area, it’s not unusual to have long periods where the wind just doesn’t cooperate. The best thing to do is keep an eye on it, because forecasts can change, but for the next two weeks, I’d leave the board in the car and go find something else to do.
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.
