The Lowdown

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the Aracaju stretch.

Well, I’ll be honest with you, this is a pretty bleak run of surf for the next 16 days. The forecast is a long, flat spell with nothing but poor conditions. The first record shows waves on Wednesday afternoon, but the data says "poor surf conditions" and a score of zero, so I’m not even going to start there. The whole period is a write-off. There’s a big gap from the start all the way through to the very end, with no usable surf on offer.

The only real wobble of life comes right at the tail end, on the 26th of August (Wednesday afternoon). We get a jump in the combined swell energy to 1093, which is strong, and a long-period S swell of 4 ft with a 17-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and it’s a very long period, which means it’ll wrap into the points here. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. The forecast still calls it marginal at best. For a beginner break like Aracaju, that’s not going to be much fun. The water temp is about 80° with a positive anomaly of 2°, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

To be honest, none of these breaks are firing. The setup is a beach, and with the onshore winds and choppy conditions through the whole window, it looks more suited to kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of it. The consistent poor quality means this blank run is pretty normal for the area when the winds don't line up. We’ll have to hope the forecasts change, because right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
