The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – Aracaju is looking like a total write-off for the next couple of weeks. I’ve had a look at every single session from now through to Sunday the 2nd of August, and honestly, there’s not a single one worth paddling out for. Every slot is marked as poor surf conditions. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
The first recommendation for any surf doesn’t even show up, so we’re looking at a massive gap right from the start. The onshore winds are relentless, mostly from the SE to ESE, blowing right into the beach and trashing anything that tries to stand up. Swell heights bob around between 2 ft and 7 ft, but with that wind, it’s just a mess. The periods are short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s all weak, choppy windswell – combined energy figures are very low to moderate at best, only touching moderate once but with a score that screams stay on the sand. There’s a bit of a pulse around the 1st and 2nd of August with a 7 ft swell from the ESE and a period reaching 10 seconds, but the wind is still onshore. That setup at a beach break like this, with that wind, might honestly be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, but it’s not clean for us.
The water temp is sitting at 79° with a +0.9° anomaly, so pretty average for this time of year, but you wouldn’t know it because you won’t be in it much. The crowds at Aracaju can be around sometimes, but that’s irrelevant right now – nobody should be out there.
To be fair, the break is fairly consistent for this area, so seeing a run this poor is a bit unusual. It tends not to stay this bad forever, and forecasts can change, but for now, there’s nothing. Save the wax.
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.
