The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for our local stretch, Aracaju.
Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell for the foreseeable future. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for paddle surfing. There's just no quality on offer, and the forecast keeps serving up weak, short-period wind swell from the east-southeast, with the wind constantly blowing onshore or cross-onshore. The water's sitting at a warm 79°F, which is about average for this time of year.
From Wednesday the 29th right through to Thursday the 13th of August, every single session is tagged as "poor surf conditions." Swell heights barely climb above 5ft, and the period is a disappointing 5 to 9 seconds – not enough grunt to shape up anything decent. The combined energy of all swells is mostly weak to moderate, peaking in the low 300s (366) on the afternoon of Wednesday the 12th, but with that cross-onshore breeze, it’s just gonna be a messy, choppy mess.
There are no standouts here. For a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach break like Aracaju, it’s just one of those long, quiet runs. Don't bother dusting off the longboard. This setup, with the persistent onshore wind and small, weak swell, looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone trying to paddle out.
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.
