The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for Campeche. We’ve got a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, so don’t be in a rush to grab your shortboard.
The first week is pretty quiet. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, messy waves from Tuesday the 18th through Friday the 21st. Most days are showing less than 3ft and the energy is weak – we’re talking a combined energy of just 7 early on. You’ll be lucky to find a ripple. It’s a real slow start, so save your energy.
Things start to show a pulse on Saturday the 22nd. The morning brings a bump of 7ft of south swell, but it’s cross-on and fairly choppy, turning the water messy. The energy is moderate though, reading 953. That’s a bit of a lumpy, power-heavy mess for the beach break, honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session. Sunday the 23rd drops a bit to 4ft from the SSE with a period of 11 seconds, giving it some push (372 energy), but it’s still cross-on and not clean.
The standout window is Monday the 24th. The morning sees a solid 6ft of SSE groundswell with a period of 14 seconds, packing a hefty 1351 of energy. The wind is light cross-on, just small ripples on the surface. That’s the best looking wave of the whole run – a legitimate groundswell that will have some shape, though the beach break might make it a bit straight. Still, it’s the only day with real power and half-decent conditions. After that, the swell fades through the week. Wednesday the 26th has a chance at a clean 2ft with offshore winds in the morning (energy 164), but it’s small. Saturday the 29th of August shows some glassy 3ft waves, but it’s short period and weak.
Heading into the first week of September, it’s back to small, weak, and generally onshore. Tuesday the 1st of September has a brief glassy moment with 2ft, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Overall, if you’re set on the water, aim for that Monday the 24th – it’s the only real shot at something worth the paddle. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Stay keen, but don’t force it.

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.
