The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Campeche and, honest truth, it’s a bit of a grim picture for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long, flat spell that’s gonna test your patience. The forecast is pretty much a bust for any decent waves, so I’m not going to sugarcoat it.
The good news? There’s actually a tiny window of something rideable right off the bat, but you gotta be quick. Friday morning, the 14th, is the only real shout for a paddle. We’ve got a small 4ft south-east swell, but it’s not got much juice behind it. The wind is light from the south-east, but it’s onshore, so expect it to be a bit messy. It’s a marginal call at best. The water is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no drama there.
After that, it gets real sad. Friday afternoon the swell bumps up slightly to 5ft from the south-south-east, but the wind swings light and the quality drops off a cliff. It’s a “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions” kind of deal, which is surf-speak for “don’t bother.”
Saturday the 15th is the best of a bad bunch, but that’s not saying much. The swell drops to 3ft at 12 seconds, and the wind turns to nothing in the morning—glassy. It’s small and weak, but it’s clean. If you’re desperate for a splash, this is your best bet for the whole period. The afternoon is similar but smaller.
Then the lights go out. From Sunday the 16th all the way through, we’re looking at a serious drought. The swell collapses to 2ft, then 1ft, then 0.3ft. The energy readings are pathetic. It’s not even worth bringing a board down to the beach. This stretch of nothing lasts for over a week. We’re talking nine days of flatness from Sunday right through to the following Monday.
There is a slight pulse of energy around the 24th, with the swell trying to push back up to 3ft, but the wind is onshore and it’s choppy. Still, it’s not glassy, and the quality is poor. The same goes for the 27th, where we see a little more period (14 seconds) but the size is a joke at 1ft.
So, what’s the verdict? Look, this spot is a sandbar, and its best direction is from the south. This whole run is just a bad stretch of luck. For a sandbar, you need a bit of power to make it work, and there’s none of that on the cards. It’s looking more like a blank run for the area. It’s the kind of forecast that makes you want to take up golf. But, c’mon, forecasts change. It’s been flat like this before and it’s come back to life. Don’t sell your boards yet.
If you’re really jonesing for a wave, Saturday morning is your only chance. The rest is a write-off.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
