The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for Aracaju. Straight off the bat, I gotta be honest with you, the outlook is looking pretty grim. For a stretch that goes out sixteen days, there’s not a single moment where the stars align for a decent wave.
The entire 16-day forecast window is basically a write-off. We’ve got persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds from the east and northeast that are just going to trash whatever small swell tries to push in. The water temp is sitting at a warm 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it’ll be comfortable to sit out there and get frustrated.
Let’s walk through it. Saturday the 29th starts us off with a tiny 3 ft to 3 ft SSE swell at 13 seconds, which has some decent period in it, but it’s blown out by a 12-16 mph cross-onshore. The combined energy is a weak 319, and it’s just sloppy. Sunday the 30th is even smaller, with a short-period 3 ft ESE windswell that’s all chop. The 31st sees a bump to 5-6 ft from the east, and the energy jumps to 710, which is moderate, but it’s still with those nasty east winds. That pattern just doesn’t let up. We go right through the first week of September, day by day, with cross-onshore winds and “poor surf conditions” stamped on every single session. The swell direction is always from the east or southeast, and the wind never swings offshore.
By the time we get into the second week, around September 9th and 10th, the winds actually pick up to a fresh 19-22 mph from the SSE, with rain showers in the mix. The swell sticks around 4 ft to 5 ft, but the energy doesn’t get high enough to be interesting for a paddle surfer. Honestly, with that much wind, this setup looks a whole lot more interesting for kite surfing than for paddling into a wave.
For a break like Aracaju that’s exposed to anything coming in, this is a tough run. It’s not a surprise when the wind is this stubborn. There’s simply nothing to get excited about in this entire 16-day window. I sure wish I had better news.
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.
