The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright, let’s talk Campeche in proper numbers.
The outlook starts off dead flat. The first few days are a total write-off – tiny, choppy junk that’s not worth the paddle out. Friday the 11th through Sunday the 13th is all poor conditions.
The first sign of life is Tuesday morning the 15th. We’ve got glassy, 2ft waves coming from the south with a 10-second interval. The combined energy is weak at 145, so it’s small and soft, but the glassy surface will make it surfable. It’s nothing special, just a clean little wave.
The standout session is Thursday morning the 17th. That’s the one to circle on your calendar. A 4ft south-southeast swell with a long 11-second period, and the combined energy hits 304 – that’s moderate, proper juice. The wind is dead calm, glassy as a lake. Campeche is a sandbar that likes south swell, so this is a direct hit. The water is about 63°, which is a good two and a half degrees colder than usual, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit. This is the best session in the entire 16-day window. Just know it can get crowded here (often).
Beyond that, there’s a glassy 3ft on Tuesday the 22nd and again on Thursday the 24th, but the period is short or the wind is messy. Nothing else is worth chasing.
So, the long and short of it: a week of nothing, then one absolute gem on Thursday the 17th with clean, lined-up waves. After that, it drops back to small and ordinary.
Rusty out.

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.
