The Lowdown
Alright, mate, I’ve been through the forecast for the next couple of weeks, and truth be told, there’s nothing worth getting wet for here in Aracaju. From now all the way through to the 8th of September, every entry is straight up poor surf conditions.
The main problem is that wind. It’s hammering in from the east and northeast mostly at 12 mph or more, making a mess of things. The swell energy does fire up at times – on the 27th of August morning we see 522 of that combined energy, and by the 28th of August morning it’s hitting 605 – but with the wind howling cross-onshore, the surface is just going to be choppy and horrible. It looks like a better scene for the kite-boarders than someone paddling out.
The water’s sitting at about 79°, which is normal for the time of year. But that persistent breeze means any clean waves are just off the cards. There’s a bit of a long period south swell sneaking in on the 26th and 27th of August, with 15 to 17 second intervals, which would normally be a massive call. But with that wind, it’s going to be a blown-out mess.
The break is rated as fairly consistent, so a long flat spell like this is a bit of a surprise. It won't stay poor forever, but for now, leave the board in the garage. There’s no surf worth chasing.

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.
