The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – the next couple of weeks in the Aracaju region are a bit of a write-off for proper surfing. The conditions are just not cooperating, and there’s no standout day to get excited about. We’re looking at a 16-day stretch where the surf is a constant ‘poor surf conditions’ call, with no real quality on offer.
Right from Sunday the 6th, we’ve got a weak 3 ft swell from the ESE, but it’s a short period 8-second windswell, and the wind is onshore at 12 mph. The combined energy is a weak 168 (moderate wave energy at best). It’s just messy. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about 2° warmer than normal, so nothing wild there.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are the same story – 3 ft to 2 ft of weak, short-period ESE swell, with winds still onshore or cross-onshore. The energy drops right off, hitting just 65 (weak energy) on Tuesday afternoon. Not a wave worth paddling for.
We get a slight bump mid-week, Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th, with swell pushing 4 ft to 4 ft, and the energy climbs into the 200s to 300s (moderate range). But the period is still short (7 seconds), and the wind is onshore. It’s still a choppy, poor-quality mess.
Friday the 11th sees the biggest swell of the period at 5 ft, with a combined energy of 471 (moderate to strong). That’s a bit of a pulse, but again, it’s a short-period ESE windswell with onshore winds. The break, Aracaju, is an exposed beach setup, so it’s just going to be a wall of closeouts and bumpy faces. This one’s more for the kite surfers than paddle surfers, to be honest.
From Saturday the 12th right through to the 21st, it’s rinse and repeat: 3 ft to 4 ft, short period (6-8 seconds), and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The energy stays in the 100s to low 200s (moderate). There’s no clean window, no glassy morning, no proper groundswell.
The optimum swell direction for Aracaju is from the S, but the forecast is all ESE, so we’re not even getting the right angle. The break is fairly consistent, but the quality is just not there. This is a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the wind and swell direction don’t line up.
Bottom line: there’s nothing to chase here. Save your wax and wait for a better forecast.
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.
Aracaju is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Barra dos Coqueiros. If you plan a holiday in Sergipe, look for hotels and other accommodation in Barra dos Coqueiros. Barra dos Coqueiros has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
