The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Aracaju in feet and degrees. Rusty here.
This is a tough one to call. The next 16 days are mostly a dud for any decent paddle surfing. The first week and a half is dominated by onshore and cross-onshore winds and short-period, weak swell. The combined wave energy is low, barely hitting triple digits, and the conditions are consistently rated “poor.” It’s a long, quiet stretch.
The only real light at the end of the tunnel shows up late. On Wednesday, September 16th, the swell shifts to the SSE with a long period of 14 seconds. The energy is strong, hitting 429 in the morning and 753 in the afternoon. That’s a proper groundswell. The swell height is a small 3 ft, so it’s not big, but the period is long. The wind is still onshore from the east, so it’s not glassy, but it’s the most interesting pulse we see.
The standout is the Thursday, September 17th afternoon. The swell holds from the SSE at 3 ft with a 13-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 596. The wind is onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, which is manageable. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best the forecast offers.
The big moment is Friday, September 18th morning. We’ve got a 5 ft, 12-second SE swell with a massive 867 combined energy. That’s the most powerful swell of the whole outlook. The problem is the wind is onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, and it drops to a shorter period by the afternoon. For the experienced crew, that morning window might be worth a look, but it’s a gamble.
For the rest of the run, it’s back to weak, short-period, onshore slop. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
So, bottom line: the best bet is the Thursday, September 17th afternoon, with a 3 ft SSE groundswell and strong energy, followed by the more powerful but wind-affected Friday, September 18th morning. It’s not a classic forecast, but it’s what we’ve got.
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.
