The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's get straight into it. The long-range look for the next 16 days is a bit of a struggle, to be honest. There's nothing on the cards right now that I'd call a proper session, and the whole first week is a write-off. We've got a stretch from the start all the way through to the 10th of August with no real recommendations, and even then, it only gets a little bit interesting later on.
The water temperature at Aracaju is sitting at 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The pick of the bunch, if you can call it that, is looking like the 14th of August. We've got a bit of a pulse of energy coming through with a combined swell energy of 750 (moderate) in the morning, building to 849 (moderate) in the afternoon. Swell height is around 4ft to 5ft from the ESE, with a long period of 14 seconds – that's proper groundswell. But here's the kicker: the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, so it's going to be choppy and messy. The break is exposed, but the wind is just not playing ball. It's a real shame, because the ingredients are there, but the quality is going to be poor. This is really only for the committed who just need to get wet, not for a good time.
Honestly, for the rest of the period, it's the same story. The wind is mostly from the east or southeast, and it's cross-on or onshore, making a mess of things. The swell is small and weak, mostly under 4ft with short periods under 8 seconds. There's a bit of a longer period showing on the 15th and 16th from the ESE with periods around 12 seconds, but the swell is tiny and the wind is still cross-on, so it's just more of the same. Surf quality is consistently poor across the board.
The bottom line: there's nothing to get excited about here. If you've got a kite, the onshore wind and small, choppy waves might be more your thing than a surfboard. For the rest of us, it's a waiting game.

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.
