The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening at Aracaju. To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking like a tough stretch. The wave forecast is a long, boring flat spell with nothing good on offer. There are no significant windows where the stars align, so don't hold your breath.
We start on the 11th of September, with a small 4ft swell from the ESE, but the 288 (moderate wave energy) isn't backed by decent conditions. The wind is already on it or cross-on, making it messy. Aracaju is an exposed beach and the water temp is a normal 80° for this time of year, so at least it's warm if you want a swim, but the surf quality is just poor throughout. We see a glimmer of a longer period swell around the 17th of September, reaching 10 seconds, but with a cross-onshore breeze and poor conditions noted, it’s not worth the paddle out. The rest of the run through to the 26th of September is a broken record of 2ft to 5ft wind swell with short periods – lots of 5 to 8 second junk. The energy is weak to moderate (from 88 up to 306) but it’s consistently blown out. The weather looks clear, but the wind kills it. Honestly, with the persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds and this short-period swell, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing.
It's a poor outlook, plain and simple. Nothing stands out. For an area like this, it's one of those blank runs that happens. Forecasts can change, but as it sits, leave the board at home and find something else to do.
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.
