The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good hard look at what's on the table for Aracaju over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, it's a bit of a struggle. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, chopping things up, and the wave quality is just poor. The swell is coming in from the ESE, but it's a short-period windswell, and the wind is just not playing ball. The combined energy is moderate, often in the 200-300 range, but it's messy.
The first real glimmer of something decent doesn't show up until Thursday the 3rd of September. That afternoon, the wind goes clean and onshore, and the swell is a solid 5 ft from the East. The combined energy jumps to 602 (moderate), and with the wind switching, it's the first time the setup looks rideable. Still, the period is only 9 seconds, so it's not a classic groundswell.
Things get a bit more interesting as we head into the second week. That Saturday the 12th of September is looking like the best we've got. The morning sees a bump in swell to 5 ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of 730 (solid moderate). The wind is still cross-on, but the afternoon of the same day looks promising. The wind goes onshore, the swell holds at 5 ft, and the energy is still decent at 591. On Sunday the 13th, the afternoon gets pretty punchy with 6 ft from the ESE and a combined energy of 904 (strong moderate). That's a fair bit of juice for the beach breaks, but without a solid period it might be a bit of a closeout.
So, if I had to pick a standout, it's the afternoon of Saturday the 12th of September. The swell is a clean 5 ft from the ESE, the wind is finally onshore, and the energy is solid. It's not a pristine, glassy day, but it's the best we're going to get in this window. Breaks like Aracaju itself will be the play. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The long-range stuff around the 14th and 15th is a bit of a letdown again, with the wind turning cross-on and the energy dropping. It's a lean run, but that Saturday looks like the one to circle.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change. 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.
