The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Campeche, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a real mixed bag coming, with a lot of wind-ruined days, but there is one moment that’ll make the wait worth it.
The next week is pretty ordinary. From Thursday the 3rd right through to the end of Sunday the 6th, it’s all poor surf conditions. The wind’s mostly cross-on or onshore, with a moderate breeze to a fresh breeze kicking up chop and lumpy water. Swell’s small, between 0.3ft and 5ft, and the wave energy is weak to moderate (2 to 344). Not worth paddling out for.
Then Monday the 7th shows a bump in swell – 7ft to 7ft from the S, with a 9 to 11 second period, and wave energy gets into the moderate-to-strong range (899 to 1482). But the wind is cross-shore or cross-on, so the surface is messy. The score’s a 1 out of 10 at best. Marginal.
But then – and this is the standout – Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, we get a little window of magic. The wind goes glassy, calm as a lake (5 km/h from the NE, described as "glass"). That’s a major positive. The sandbar at Campeche will be clean, no bumps. Swell comes in at 4ft from the SE, with a 10-second period – not huge, but decent shape for a sandbar. Wave energy is moderate (309). That’s the one to aim for. It’s only a morning session, though; by the afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore and the quality drops.
After that, the rest of the week and into the second week is pretty bleak. Wednesday the 9th has a brief clean moment with offshore wind on the morning, but the swell is tiny at 2ft and the energy is weak (81). From the 10th to the 18th, it’s almost constant poor conditions, with cross-onshore winds and choppy seas. There’s a bit of long-period groundswell coming in on the 13th (15 seconds, 3ft from SSE) and the 14th (14 seconds, 3ft from SSE), but it’s still cross-on and the combined energy is high (407 on the 13th, 236 on the 14th). That long period often makes beach breaks like Campeche break a bit straight, and with the onshore wind, it’s not going to be clean.
Honestly, if you’re a beginner, that 4ft on Tuesday the 8th is fine. Anything over 5ft is pushing it for less experienced surfers, and the 7ft on Monday the 7th is on the big side. For experts, that Monday morning could be okay if the wind holds, but the morning of the 8th is the real prize.
Look, this area tends to go through these flat or blown-out spells. A week-long gap with no real recommendations is normal here. But the forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it, but right now, circle Tuesday the 8th on the calendar. That’s your session.

Information about the Campeche Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Campeche provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Campeche can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Campeche 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 (Campeche) 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 Campeche 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.
Campeche is 13 km (8 miles) from Florianopolis. If you plan a holiday in Florianópolis, look for hotels and other accommodation in Florianopolis. Florianopolis has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
