The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. I gotta be straight with you – Aracaju is in a rough patch for the next 16 days. The wind is your enemy here, blowing onshore and cross-onshore almost constantly, so the surf is gonna be choppy, lumpy, and just ugly. You’ll see some decent swell energy roll through – numbers like 540 and 728 – but it doesn’t matter when the wind tears it apart. No clean surf on offer.
Water temp is about 79°, normal for this time of year.
We kick off Thursday the 27th of August with a 2ft south swell carrying a long 17-second period. That could be beautiful, but with a cross-on east wind at 9 mph, it gets messy. The combined energy is 540. Pretty much a waste. That theme repeats all week. Friday the 28th sees 4ft at 15 seconds but with 16 mph cross-on winds. It's all choppy and blown out.
By Tuesday, September 1st, the swell bumps to 6ft from the east but with a short 8-second period and 16 mph winds still cross-on. The energy reads 649, but the quality is zero. That’s more of a kiteboarding scene than a surf session.
The only real window of hope shows up around Wednesday, September 9th. We get a shift to a long-period SSE groundswell. The morning brings a small 2ft swell with light 6 mph winds from the ESE. It’s tiny, but it’s the cleanest thing in the whole 16 days. That afternoon, you get a clean but tiny 2ft wave at 15 seconds. Thursday the 10th morning looks okay on paper with 3ft of SSE at 12 seconds and a gentle breeze, but the models still give it a big zero.
For an exposed beach like Aracaju, a blank run like this is pretty normal. Don’t lose all hope – things can change, and it won’t stay this bad forever. But for now? The board stays 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.
