The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. I've had a proper look at Aracaju for the next 16 days and, mate, I'm calling it how it is – this stretch is a total write-off. There's nothing on the table that's even worth paddling out for. The whole run from August 10th right through to the 25th is surf that's just no good. "Poor surf conditions" is on every single time slot, and the scores are all zeros, so that's the story.
Aracaju is a beginner-friendly, exposed beach break that's fairly consistent, so it usually churns something out. But not this time. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is getting chopped up. You'll see the combined energy from all swells fluctuate, hitting 93 (weak) on the Monday morning, climbing to 239 (moderate) on the Tuesday, and even touching 685 (moderate to strong) on the 23rd, but it doesn't matter one bit when the quality is this poor. The water temp is sitting at a normal 80° for this time of year, but I can't get excited about that.
There are no standout breaks, no hidden gems. If you're into kite surfing, this consistent onshore wind and messy swell might be your thing, but for anyone looking to paddle into a clean wave, there's just nothing here. It's a long, blank run that's pretty normal for this area when the conditions lock in like this. Forecasts change, so keep an eye out, but for now, save the gas.
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.
