The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Aracaju over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a tough stretch. The data shows a long run of poor surf conditions, with cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy surf making it hard to find anything clean. The combined wave energy is moderate at best, staying in the 100-300 range for most of the first week, and the swell direction is from the SSE to SE, which is cross-on for the break. For the first few days, Wednesday the 15th through Sunday the 19th, there's honestly nothing to get excited about. The wind is up, the surf is messy, and the scores are all zero. It's a real blank run.
The water temperature is 80°F, which is about average for the time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit.
Things look a little more promising later in the second week. Starting around Monday the 27th, the wind starts to drop and swing more onshore, which is a good sign. By Wednesday the 29th, we see a clean shift. The wind is offshore from the SE, the swell picks up to 5ft from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds and a moderate combined energy of 549. The forecast says "poor surf conditions" but the morning winds are clean and offshore. This could be a rare window of clean, rideable waves for the more experienced crew. The swell is moderate, so it's not for beginners, but it's a standout in an otherwise bleak outlook.
After that, the last few days of the month show a mix of onshore and offshore winds, with smaller swell around 3ft to 5ft. The energy stays low, and the conditions are still not great. There's no real standout session to recommend, but Wednesday the 29th morning is the only time I'd even consider paddling out.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week offers a brief glimmer on Wednesday the 29th with clean-ish offshore winds and a moderate swell, but it's a short window and not for the faint-hearted. Otherwise, it's a long wait for decent surf.
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.
