The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Aracaju in feet and miles per hour. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—this whole 16-day stretch is a bust. From the 23rd of August right through to the 7th of September, every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions. There's not a single recommendation in the whole lot. It's a long, dry spell, and for this area, that's not out of the ordinary when the wind and swell just don't click. But hey, forecasts can flip, so don't give up hope.
The water is sitting at about 79°F, with a temperature anomaly of just 1°F, so it's pretty normal for the season.
We do see a bit of a pulse around the 26th and 27th of August, when a south groundswell rolls in with periods of 14 to 17 seconds and combined energy numbers in the 400s and 500s. That's decent energy, but the swell height is only about 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is blowing onshore and cross-onshore from the east and southeast at 10 to 15 mph. That onshore wind is just killing any chance of a clean wave.
Then, on the 5th of September, the swell bumps up to about 5ft from the SSE, with energy readings over 500. But the period is only 8 seconds—short-period wind swell—and the wind is still cross-onshore at 10 to 13 mph. It's choppy and lumpy, and honestly, for a beach break like Aracaju, that's more of a kite-surfing condition than a paddle-surfing one.
So, there's nothing to get excited about here. Best to wait it out. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
