The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Pirambu over the next 16 days is a bit of a letdown. There’s barely a window worth paddling out for.
The forecast is pretty much a blank run. From today, Tuesday the 11th, right through to Wednesday the 26th of August, we’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions. There are no standout days, no real energy coming in right for the break.
The river mouth at Pirambu is exposed to the south, but the wind is all wrong – almost constantly a moderate to fresh cross-onshore or onshore breeze. It’s going to be choppy and bumpy the whole way through. The water’s sitting at 80° right now, which is about average for this time of year.
There is some southern hemi groundswell energy showing up – like on the 13th the combined energy hits a moderate 456 (moderate energy), with a long 13-second period from the south. But the wind is a cross-onshore breeze from the east-southeast, and the models are calling it “marginal surf forecast.” It’s just not worth the drive.
By the 20th of August, we see a jump in swell height to 6 ft from the east-southeast, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the breeze is still cross-onshore. Combined energy hits 693 (moderate energy), but with the lumpy conditions and the wrong direction, it’s another pass. Honestly, with that onshore wind and a beach setup, this looks more like a kite-surfing window than a paddle-surfing one.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent, it’s a bummer. But forecasts can change, so keep an eye out. For now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.

Information about the Pirambu Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pirambu provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pirambu can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Pirambu 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 (Pirambu) 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 Pirambu 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.
Pirambu is 26 km (16 miles) from Nossa Senhora do Socorro. If you plan a holiday in Sergipe, look for hotels and other accommodation in Nossa Senhora do Socorro. Nossa Senhora do Socorro has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
