The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into it. Rusty here with a look at the next 16 days. I’ll level with you straight up—it’s a pretty grim run for Aracaju. The whole 16-day window is a no-go for decent surf. There’s simply not a single recommendation that’s worth paddling out for. The swell’s around, but the conditions are just rubbish.
We’ve got a persistent easterly wind howling through the whole period, between 12 and 15 mph, blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore, just mangling everything. The wave energy is there, hitting moderate levels, but it’s all messy, choppy, and basically unrideable. The swell is mostly from the ESE, with a short period around 5 to 9 seconds, so it’s not holding any shape.
The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year, so practically average. Nothing to get excited about.
For Aracaju, a beginner spot that’s fairly consistent, the exposure is there, but with the wind never letting up, it’s a washout. If you’re desperate, you could look at a kite, because this onshore chop is more their game than ours. The only slight glimmer is right at the end, on the 17th and 19th of September, when the combined energy spikes up, but it’s still onshore with poor surf. Don’t hold your breath.
Bottom line: put the board away for a couple of weeks. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
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.
