The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough stretch for Aracaju. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off. There is not a single day I’d point you to and say, “Go get it.” The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is never working in our favour for clean, lined-up waves. It’s a long, flat run with no real highlights to speak of.
Aracaju itself is an exposed beach break, and for the opening days, starting Thursday the 10th, we’re looking at weak, short-period ESE swell around the 3 ft to 4 ft mark. The combined wave energy is barely in the moderate range, hovering around 260 to 298 (moderate). The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, blowing at 12 to 16 mph from the east, so it’s choppy and messy. Not a single wave worth paddling for.
That pattern doesn’t let up. Friday the 11th through to the end of the first week is more of the same: small swell, poor conditions, and moderate breezes keeping things ugly. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there, but that doesn’t help the surf.
We roll into the second week, from the 16th onwards, and there’s still no hope. The swell tries to push up a little around the 18th (Friday) to 5 ft, but with a period of only 7 seconds and onshore wind, it’s a junky, closed-out mess. The energy stays moderate, topping out at 293 and 314 on a couple of days, but quality is zero. Even the tiny pulse of long-period swell on the 21st (Monday), a 2 ft, 15-second groundswell from the south, is ruined by strong cross-onshore winds at 16 mph. That one would have been better for a point or reef, but at a beach break like Aracaju, it’s not doing us any favours.
In short, I’ve got nothing good to tell you. The entire 16-day forecast is a blank. No standouts, no hope of a sneaky session. For Aracaju, this is just one of those stretches where you leave the boards in the shed and wait for the next change in the charts.
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.
