The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for our local stretch.
Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim for any decent paddle. We’re staring down a long, dry spell with barely a ripple. From the end of July all the way through to the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, it’s a real struggle. We’re talking tiny, gutless waves with heights barely scraping 1.6 ft, if that. The wind is mostly cross-off or glassy, but there’s just no swell energy to work with – the combined energy is sitting below 100 (weak) for most of that period, which is a total buzzkill. The water temp is sitting at 66.6°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope, and I mean a glimmer, comes on the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. The wind swings offshore and we get a bit of a pulse around 3 ft from the SSE, but the period is short at 8 seconds. The energy picks up a little (111), and it’s labeled as "surfable but very ordinary." It’s not a big call, but it’s the first thing that’s been worth a look in a week.
The standout period, if you can hold out, looks to be the morning of Thursday the 13th of August. Now we’re talking. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the S, with a short period of 8 seconds, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the N. The combined energy jumps to 691 (moderate), and the forecast is expecting very good surf conditions. This is the one to circle on your calendar. Campeche (sandbar) will be your spot here. The swell direction is close to its optimum from the S, and with that offshore wind, it should be clean. Just keep in mind the crowds are often there, so get there early.
The Friday morning after that, the 14th, holds some similar size at 4.6 ft from the SE, but the period drops a bit and it’s considered more marginal. Still, with the offshore wind, it’s a solid backup.
So there you have it. A long, flat run, but a genuine shot of good surf on the 13th.

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.
