The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Aracaju.
Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a solid run of days where the conditions just aren’t cooperating. The surf is on the small side and the wind is persistently cross-onshore or onshore, keeping everything choppy and messy. It’s not the kind of setup that gets you excited.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out comes around Saturday the 15th and into Sunday the 16th. Even then, it’s only a marginal call. On Saturday morning we’ve got a long-period groundswell from the SSE pushing in at about 3ft with a 14-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 587 (moderate energy), but the wind is light and cross-shore, which is the best wind we’ll see all week. That long period is great for shape, but at a beach break it can break a bit straight, so keep that in mind. By Saturday afternoon the wind swings back to a moderate cross-onshore and the swell jumps to 3ft with a very long 17-second period, but the energy really cranks up to 1120 (strong). Still, that wind will mess it up. Sunday morning is similar, onshore wind again with 3ft swell from the S, 14-second period, and energy at 652 (moderate).
For a beginner spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer. The water is sitting at about 79°, which is just about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, if I had to point to the one session that has the slimmest chance of being okay, it’s Saturday morning the 15th. That light cross-shore breeze is the only time the wind is not ruining things. The swell is small but has some long-period push from the SSE, so maybe you find a cleaner corner. But don’t expect much.
This is a rough forecast for Aracaju. There’s no standout day, no real winner. Just a few marginal windows where you might get lucky if the tide and the sandbars play along. Let’s hope the next update brings better news.
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.
