The Lowdown
Alright, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. This 16-day run for Aracaju is a real bummer. There’s nothing good to ride until the 14th of August, so you’re looking at about two weeks of flat or ugly conditions.
The wind is the main problem. For the first week and a half, it’s a steady SE to ESE breeze, blowing onshore or cross-onshore at 12 to 15 mph, turning the surface into a mess. The swell is around 3 to 5 ft with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, mushy, and choppy. The wave energy is modest, topping out around 496 (units) mid-week, but it’s just blown out.
After the 10th, the swell shifts south and the period jumps to 15–20 seconds – that’s real groundswell, the kind that travels from far away. But the height drops to 2 ft, so it’s small and clean but lacking any real power. The energy is still moderate, in the 300–400 range, but you’re looking at waist-high rollers at best.
The only real window is the morning of Friday, 14th August. The wind is light from the ENE at 6 mph, just a light cross-onshore. The swell is 2 ft from the south with a 16-second period. The energy is 362, and it’s called "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." That’s the best we’ve got. It’ll be long, slow, and clean – longboard territory, but you’ll need to watch the tide.
For a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach like Aracaju, exposed to the south, the 14th is the only day to even consider. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. Expect some company, you might see a few others out there.
Honestly, with the wind and the lack of quality, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than traditional surfing. Conditions are just not cooperating for a paddle.

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.
