The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for Aracaju.
It’s a long, dry spell for waves. From Monday the 17th all the way through to Saturday the 29th, we’re dealing with poor surf. Small, messy, choppy water, and onshore winds. Nothing to paddle out for.
The first real chance shows up on Sunday morning, August 30th. Aracaju gets a 1.5m east swell, with an 8-second period and combined wave energy of 491. That’s light cross-onshore wind, small ripples, and marginal conditions that depend heavily on the tide. For beginners, it might just be rideable. Water temp is nothing special, right about average for the season.
After that, it fades again. Monday the 31st has smaller waves and the same cross-onshore breeze.
That Sunday morning slot is the only time worth mentioning. It’s not clean, not big, and the swell direction isn’t ideal for Aracaju’s best shape, but it’s the best we’ve got in 16 days.
No other breaks in the picture. Sometimes the ocean goes quiet. Could change though – forecasts shift.
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.
