The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's boil it down for the imperial crowd.
This is a grim 16-day outlook for Aracaju. From the 12th through the 27th of August, there isn't a single session worth your time. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is just messy.
The combined swell energy is mostly weak to moderate early on, but it doesn't matter because the wind is blowing it out. Even the bigger pulses of energy—like the strong one on the 16th—are ruined by the breeze. The long-period groundswells are getting chopped up, and the short-period stuff is just slop.
Aracaju is the only break, and it's a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot. But the wind direction is all wrong. The water is about 79.7°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
This looks like a better setup for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. There's just nothing here for a surfer right now.

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.
