The Lowdown
Grab your board, it’s Campeche (Big Island) we’re looking at, and honestly, the next week and a half is going to test your patience. Water’s sitting at 67°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so you can’t blame the cold for any hesitation.
The opening days are flat and messy. From the 29th through the 1st, we’re dealing with tiny, weak swell—nothing over 1ft—and mostly cross-onshore winds. There’s a glimpse of glass on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, but the waves just aren’t there yet. It’s a real desert stretch, with barely any energy in the water. You’d be better off checking the tide pools.
Then things get interesting, but not necessarily in a good way. Around the 2nd of September, a solid push of southerly swell arrives, jumping to 10ft with a 10-second period and massive energy. This is too big for beginners and pretty challenging for everyone else—this is expert territory. The morning of the 3rd and 4th cleans up with cross-offshore winds, but the swell has vanished, leaving just 0.3ft. It’s a tease.
The 5th stays poor. Saturday afternoon brings 4ft but with strong cross-onshore winds, making it choppy and rough.
Now, the real standout in this whole outlook is the morning of Monday, the 8th of September. We’ve got a solid 6ft of south-southeast swell with a 13-second period, and light north cross-offshore winds. That combination gives us clean, glassy conditions. This is the pick of the fortnight—your best chance for properly lined-up waves without the wind messing them up. The afternoon before and the morning after are also okay, but this Monday morning is the one.
After that, things fade out quickly. The 9th brings back cross-onshore winds and the swell drops. From the 10th through the 13th, it’s a downward slide into small, weak, and mostly onshore conditions. There’s a window on the morning of the 12th with clean, cross-offshore winds, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. Not worth getting out of bed for.
So, bottom line: the early part is a write-off, and the middle has some size but is rough. The clear, clean highlight is the morning of the 8th. Lock that in and be patient until then. If it gets big and messy on the 6th or 7th, it might be more fun for the kite crew than for us paddle surfers.

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.
