The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the Aracaju stretch. I gotta be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty tough for us. The finder is coming up empty, not a single decent score in the whole 16-day window, which is a real shame because the water is a lovely 79°F right now, just about what you'd expect for this time of year.
We've got a long stretch of poor surf ahead. The first few days are just a write-off. Thursday morning, we're looking at a weak 3.9ft swell from the ESE, but it's blown out by a 9 mph onshore wind. The combined energy is a paltry 191 (weak), and the period is only 8 seconds. It's basically a washing machine. That same pattern continues right through the weekend and into the next week. The swell stays small, under 3.3ft, with that same short, weak period, and the wind never lets up from the ESE or SE. It's all onshore, keeping things messy.
We do see a little bump in the energy around the 3rd of August, with the swell pushing up to 4.3ft and the combined energy hitting 268 (moderate), but it's still a short-period windswell and the wind is still onshore. It's a bit more powerful, but still not what you'd call surfable. The setup is essentially a beach break, and with the constant onshore wind and short-period chop, it's honestly looking more like a kiteboarding session than a paddle session for the next couple of weeks.
Don't lose hope, though. This area can be a bit fickle, and a blank run like this isn't unheard of. Forecasts can change, and a decent swell could pop up. But as it stands right now, there's nothing to get excited about for the 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.
