The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks, the ocean is going to be messy. There’s nothing on the cards that’s going to have you calling in sick for work. The wind is the main problem, blowing onshore or cross-onshore for almost the entire stretch, which is going to chop up whatever small swell we do get.
The whole run kicks off with a flat, poor stretch. From Wednesday the 5th through to Thursday the 13th, we are looking at a long, frustrating gap of nothing but knee-to-waist high slop. Don't get too excited about any of it; the energy is weak, with combined readings in the low hundreds for the most part, and the wind is just ruining any chance of a clean face. It’s going to look better for a kite than a surfboard, to be honest. That’s a solid ten days of groveling or just finding something else to do.
Now, there is a tiny blip on the radar. On Saturday the 15th, the afternoon brings a real pulse of energy, with a strong reading of 1860 in the combined energy. The swell jumps to 5.2ft, and the period stretches way out to 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. We’re looking at Aracaju (Sergipe) late Saturday, but here’s the catch: the wind is still on it, a 12 mph onshore breeze from the east that’s going to put some texture on the face. It’s a marginal call, but the raw power is there for the first time. This is the only real standout of the whole period, so if you’re desperate, watch the tide and try to find a bank that gives you a bit of shelter. It’ll be lumpy, but there’s some push to it.
After that little spike, it looks like we fade right back out. The following week starts with a drop in size, and the wind is still a problem. There’s some longer period energy rolling in on Monday the 17th, but with the onshores still blowing, it’s not going to be clean. Honestly, it’s a tough outlook. The water temps are about normal for this time of year, so just a normal wetsuit, but the surf is the real issue. We’ve had a long flat spell and it looks set to continue. Fingers crossed the forecasts change, but for now, don't get your hopes up.

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.
