Campeche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Campeche is offering up over the next couple weeks. It’s a mixed bag, but there are a couple of real gems if you’re patient.

The water is running cold – 62°F, which is nearly 5 degrees colder than normal for this time of year. Don’t skimp on the rubber.

We start on Monday, July 6th with a small 4ft swell from the southeast. The wind is a messy cross-off from the north at 12 mph. The combined energy is moderate (371), but the quality is just marginal. Not a great way to kick things off, and the afternoon only gets more ordinary. Tuesday is a write-off with onshore wind and poor conditions.

From Tuesday the 7th through to Saturday the 11th, you can basically leave the board in the car. It’s flat or tiny and choppy. Nothing doing.

Then we hit the jackpot. Monday morning, July 13th is the standout of the entire forecast. We’ve got glassy conditions with light air from the west-southwest, and a clean 6ft southerly swell rolling in. The period is a solid 10 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 896. This is the session right here. The swell direction is bang on for the sandbar, and it’s going to be clean, powerful, and fun. It’s a bit much for beginners, but for any intermediate or above, this is the morning to circle. Expect proper waves.

The following week shows more promise. Thursday, July 16th looks good with a 5ft south-southeast swell. The morning is glassy, and the afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate to strong (402), and it will be a solid, surfable wave all day.

Friday afternoon, July 17th brings a glassy 4ft groundswell from the south-southeast with a longer 13-second period. That longer period will give the waves more shape and punch, but it might make the sets a little more walled-up on the sandbar. Still, for clean, quality waves, it’s a very solid option.

Saturday morning, July 18th has a clean 3ft swell with offshore winds. Perfect for a longboard or a fun fish if you want something a little more mellow.

After that, the energy fades again into the last few days of the outlook. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st stay small and clean, but nothing to get excited about.

So here’s the call: Monday, July 13th is your absolute best bet for size, power, and perfection. The 16th and 17th are strong backups with clean conditions. The rest of the first week is a bust.

Rusty, signing off.
