The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Aracaju over the next 16 days.
Honestly, mate, there’s nothing really calling me out for a paddle. The whole run is marked as poor surf conditions right through to the end of the month. The wind’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell, while there’s some moderate energy at times, never lines up with clean conditions.
Saturday morning the 15th kicks off with 3 ft of SSE swell but onshore east winds at 12 mph make a mess of it. That mix of moderate wave energy (400) and onshore breeze means it’s pretty ordinary. Water temp is 80°, about 2° warmer than average for this time of year – nice for a swim, not surf.
Sunday the 16th sees a bump to 3 ft SSE swell with a 15-second period, which is a long groundswell, but again onshore wind from the ESE at 9 mph. The energy’s moderate at 620, but the wind spoils it.
Monday the 17th through to Thursday the 27th is a real grind. Swells stay between 3 ft and 6 ft, mostly from the SE or ESE, with periods dropping to 8 seconds or less – short, choppy stuff. Winds stay onshore or cross-onshore, often moderate to fresh. There’s rain showers mixed in early on, which doesn’t help. On Monday afternoon the 17th, there’s 6 ft SE swell but with 19 mph onshore wind and 947 energy – more suited to a kite than a surfboard.
A small standout could be Thursday morning the 27th – 5 ft from the east with 8-second period, but cross-onshore wind at 9 mph still makes it choppy. Nothing clean.
Late on Wednesday the 26th, a 3 ft S swell with a 15-second period pops up and moderate energy at 449, but again onshore wind kills it. The whole window is full of poor surf labels; there’s no good option to highlight. If you’re desperate and the wind drops, maybe that S swell on the 26th afternoon could offer a rare moment, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
So, for the next 16 days, Aracaju is a write-off for decent surfing. It’s a blank run, which can happen here – but forecasts change, so keep an eye out.
Over and out – 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.
