The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Alright, I’ll level with you – it’s a bleak outlook for Aracaju for the next 16 days. There’s nothing worth paddling out for. The whole forecast period is filled with poor surf conditions, and we don’t even get a glimpse of a decent wave until early September, and even then, it’s rough.
Starting now, Friday the 28th of August, it’s all cross-onshore and choppy. We’ve got a long-period groundswell from the south at 4 ft, a 15-second period, but the wind is a solid 12 mph from the ENE, blowing straight across the face. The combined swell energy is moderate, clocking in at 740, but it’s all messy, bumpy lines. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing special. Saturday and Sunday are the same story: waist-high slop from the SSE and ESE, periods dropping to 7 seconds, and that cross-shore wind keeps things ugly. The energy drops to 313 and then 167.
Moving into the new week – Monday the 31st of August through Thursday the 3rd of September – it’s more of the same. The swell bumps up to 4 to 5 ft, but the period stays short at 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-on or onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. There’s a spike in energy on the 2nd of September to 561, but it’s coming from the east with a fresh breeze of 18 mph – just blown-out junk. Too small and messy for a beginner, but not enough juice for anyone else.
The second week, from Friday the 4th of September onward, it cleans up a bit with lighter onshore winds around 6 to 9 mph, but the swell stays small, in the 2 to 4 ft range, with periods of 8 to 9 seconds. There’s a highlight on Friday the 11th of September where the swell hits 5 ft again from the ESE with an 8-second period and energy at 420 – but it’s still onshore and uncertain. Since we’re talking about 14 days out, it’s promising but not a sure thing.
Honestly, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The breaks here are usually fairly consistent, so this dry spell is a bummer, but forecasts can shift. For now, with all that cross-onshore wind, it looks more like a kite session than a paddle surf.

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.
