The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the region.
Truth be told, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a tough stretch for Aracaju. The swell is running pretty consistently from the ESE and SE, but the wind just won't play ball. We’ve got constant onshore and cross-onshore breezes that are going to keep the surf pretty messy and choppy. The data tells me it's all "poor surf conditions" across the board, so I'm not getting excited about any particular day.
The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won't need a steamer.
The first real swell pulse comes through on Thursday the 10th with the swell height hitting 4 ft. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 355, but that’s with a short, weak 7-second period and onshore wind. It’s going to be lumpy. The biggest energy spike we see is on Sunday the 13th, with the combined energy hitting 438, and swell hitting 5 ft. Still, it’s an 8-second ESE windswell and the wind is cross-onshore, so the quality is going to be poor. It's the kind of setup that might be more interesting for a kite surfer looking for some wind and chop than a paddle surfer looking for a wave.
The pattern repeats right through to the end of the forecast. We get pulses of moderate energy, like the 400 on Thursday the 17th with 5 ft swell, but it’s always accompanied by onshore or cross-onshore wind. There’s no standout day where the wind goes light, glassy, or offshore to clean things up. For a beginner, the swell occasionally pushes past 5 ft on the 13th and 17th, which could be a bit much. For the rest of us, it’s just a matter of managing expectations. Honestly, this is a 16-day stretch with no real quality window. Keep an eye on the forecasts because things can change, but for now, don't be afraid to save the gas money.
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.
