The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what we’ve got for the Aracaju stretch over the next couple of weeks. I’ve gotta level with you: right now, there’s nothing on offer. The whole 16-day window is one long quiet spell. No recommendations at all. It’s a rare blank run, and it’s simply down to the wind and conditions being consistently poor – cross-onshore and onshore breezes, mostly moderate at 12 to 15 mph, with the swell being short-period and choppy. The water temp at Aracaju is sitting at 80°F with a minor anomaly of 1°F, so it’s pretty typical for this time of year, not a worry.
From Wednesday 16 September right through to Thursday 1 October, every session is marked with poor surf conditions. The swell tries to pick up a bit around Friday 18 September with heights around 5 ft, but the wind stays on or cross-on, and the period is short and messy – 6 to 8 seconds. Nothing clean. On the 26th and 27th of September, there’s a glimmer of longer period groundswell from the south (14-16 seconds), but the wave heights drop right down to 1 ft to 2 ft, and the energy is weak to moderate at best (combined swell energy between 164 and 357). Not enough to surf.
If you’re desperate to get wet, the setup here looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle – beach exposed, with a moderate breeze and consistent but poor-quality surf. That’s the reality for now. But keep an eye on the forecasts; it tends not to stay this way forever.
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.
