The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s not looking pretty.

The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf. There’s literally not a single recommendation to be found, and every single time slot is marked as “poor surf conditions.” The first few days from Tuesday the 25th of August through the end of the week are completely flat or junky, and that pattern just keeps rolling. We’re looking at a solid 16-day gap with no surf worth paddling out for.

The wind is the main villain here. It’s onshore or cross-onshore almost every day, blowing from the E, ENE, or ESE at 12 to 19 mph, which is going to chop everything up. The only exception is a few light breeze moments, but the swell is so weak and short-period that it won’t matter.

The swell is a mixed bag of small, weak, and short-period junk. Most days the height is between 2 ft and 5 ft, but the period is mostly 7 to 8 seconds – that’s pure windswell, no push or shape. The combined energy is moderate at best, with values like 125 (moderate wave energy) on Tuesday morning, climbing to 731 (moderate wave energy) on Friday the 28th, but it’s all onshore and messy. The bigger numbers on the 28th and 29th (up to 718 and 731) are just bigger, choppier lumps, not surfable waves.

Water temperature is 79°, which is about normal for the time of year, with the anomaly at 1° – nothing unusual.

The nearest break is Aracaju, which is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot, exposed to swell, and it’s supposed to be best with S swell. But the swell we’re getting is from the ESE and SE, not the S, so that’s mismatched. There’s a bit of a longer-period S swell around the 27th and 28th (periods of 15 to 17 seconds), but it’s aimed wrong and the wind is onshore, so it’ll just be a straight, bumpy mess. For a beach break, that long-period groundswell is not your friend.

Honestly, the whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at this point. The wind is consistent and cross-onshore, but the waves are too small and weak for a proper session.

Hang in there. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, I’d keep the board in the car.

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.

Aracaju is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Barra dos Coqueiros. If you plan a holiday in Sergipe, look for hotels and other accommodation in Barra dos Coqueiros. Barra dos Coqueiros has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
