The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at the surf for Aracaju.
To be honest, the next week and a half is a bummer. The wind is stuck onshore from the ESE or SE, and the swell is small and weak. We’re looking at a long run of "poor surf conditions" starting from Saturday, July 25th, with wave energy mostly under 100, which is weak. The water is 79°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
The first glimmer of something bigger shows up on Sunday, August 2nd, when the energy hits 279, but it’s a tiny 0.6m (2ft) swell from the south with a 13-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, but the onshore wind will ruin it. The next few days have more energy, but it’s still messy.
The only time we get a hint of a chance is late in the window. On Saturday, August 8th, the swell builds to 2.3m (8ft) from the SE with an 11-second period and strong energy of 1340. The wind is still onshore at 20 km/h (12 mph), so it’s only "marginal." The next morning, Sunday the 9th, drops to 2.0m (7ft) from the ESE with a 10-second period and lighter wind (15 km/h, 9 mph), but it’s still onshore. For the experienced crew, that might be worth a paddle, but it’s not clean. The swell is over 1.5m (5ft), so it’s too big for beginners.
Overall, nothing to get excited about. The wind is the enemy here. This beach setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hang tight, and don’t sell your board just yet.
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.
