Campeche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk waves. Gotta be straight with you, the next couple of days are looking pretty flat and sad around here. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands before the ocean wakes up.

First up, Campeche (Campeche). The water’s sitting at about 67° which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no worries there. Thursday and Friday are a total write-off. We’re talking knee-high mush and poor conditions, nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is all over the place and the swell is too weak to do anything. You’re better off waxing your board and waiting.

There’s a bit of a gap there, but things start to look a little more interesting come Saturday morning, the 8th. That’s when we finally see some proper energy coming in. The combined swell energy is climbing to 634, with a 4ft south-southeast swell rolling in at a long 13-second period. That’s a real groundswell. The wind is offshore from the northwest and it’s clean. This is the first real standout of the window. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun on the sandbar. The long period might make it a bit wonky at a beach break, but it’s got some push to it. This is our best bet for a while.

Sunday the 9th gets messy. The wind swings onshore and it gets choppy. The swell drops back in quality, so we’re back to poor conditions.

Monday the 10th brings a bigger pulse, 7ft, but it’s a mess with strong cross-onshore winds. The energy is strong, 1586, but it’s just blown out. That’s more of a kite-day setup than a surf-day setup if you ask me. It’s too big and too rough to be any fun on a shortboard.

The middle of the week, Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th, is where it’s at. It’s not as big as Monday, but it’s clean. We’re looking at around 5ft from the southeast with a 12-second period, and the wind is either light offshore or glassy. The energy is moderate, in the 600s, and the conditions are described as good. This is a solid, clean couple of days. Thursday morning especially looks magic with that glassy surface.

After that, it fades out. The rest of the week and into the next is smaller, with most days having poor or ordinary conditions. There’s a little bump on Friday the 21st with a 6ft south swell showing up, and it’s clean with offshore wind. That’s promising, but it’s far out, so don’t book your flights yet. It’s a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed.

So, to sum it up, the standout windows are Saturday morning the 8th, and then Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th. If you can, get out there for those. The rest is mostly a waiting game.
