The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the only spot on offer for this stretch – Aracaju.
Honestly, I gotta give it to you straight: the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. The whole window is filled with "poor surf conditions" and zero scores. There's a lot of chop and onshore winds messing things up. The water is sitting at 80°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're getting skunked.
The first real interest doesn't show up until way down the track. On September 26th, we see a jump in the combined swell energy to 653 in the morning and 814 in the afternoon, but it's still marked as poor surf. That Saturday morning brings a long-period 3 ft swell from the SSE with a period of 18 seconds, shifting to a 3 ft S swell in the afternoon with the same 18-second period. That's *very* long period groundswell, the kind that needs a good point break or reef to line up. Aracaju is exposed, but with it consistently being onshore or cross-onshore, it's just going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. That same swell pulse carries into the 27th with energy still strong at 492 and 503, but again, the wind is ruining it. For a beginner-friendly break, anything over 5 ft can be a handful, but the bigger issue here is the wind never letting it clean up.
If you had to pick the least bad moment, it would be that 26th of September when the long-period energy is highest, but don't get your hopes up. With the persistent onshore wind and the beach setup, the whole 16-day window honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There's a big gap of nothing worthwhile right from the start, and it doesn't get much better.
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.
