The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Campeche over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – it's a tough start. We're looking at a long, flat spell. From now through to the 21st of August, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is all over the shop, usually cross-off or worse. The wave energy is basically a whisper, often in the low double digits. It's just not worth getting wet for the first five days.

Things try to wake up a bit on Saturday the 22nd. We get a little bump of 3ft from the SSE, and the real kicker is the wind – it's glassy in the morning, dead calm, zero breeze. That combined swell energy is a modest 137 (moderate energy) but that glassy surface will make the most of it. It's a small day, but for a quiet paddle, that window between the flat spells is your only real chance.

Now, hold onto your board, because Sunday the 23rd of August looks like the standout, but with a major caveat. The swell jumps to 8ft-8ft from the S, with energy readings hitting a strong 1168 and 2053 (moderate to strong wave energy). The period is around 9-11 seconds. This is a proper pulse. The problem is the wind is cross and then cross-onshore, making things choppy. It's also getting big – over 8ft – so this is strictly for the experts. The setup here is a sandbar, so that's something to consider for handling the power.

After that pulse, we get another messy period with strong onshore winds until the end of the month. But then, on Sunday the 30th of August, we get another glimmer. A cleaner 4ft SSE swell rolls in with glassy conditions in the morning. That's clean surf, and the energy is a hefty 510 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light and offshore on the 31st as well, but the swell drops right back off to tiny levels, barely 1ft.

Bottom line: The first week is flat and ugly. Your best bet is the glassy but small Saturday the 22nd for a longboard or a funboard. The real spike of size on the 23rd is all power and chop, only for the brave. And then that Sunday morning on the 30th looks like a clean, solid session if you can wait it out. Keep your eyes peeled, the forecasts can always change for the better.

Rusty.

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.
