The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf coming our way.

We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead. The first week or so is pretty quiet, with a few small windows of clean waves, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The real standout action is tucked away in the second week, so hang tight if you’re looking for something special.

Let’s start with Campeche (Campeche). The water temp is sitting around 65°F, which is just about bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real action kicks off on Wednesday morning, the 12th. We’ve got a 4 ft SSE swell rolling in with a 12-second period and a gentle NNW cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 480. It’s clean and the setup looks good. That’s a solid little session, but the afternoon fades into a bit of a question mark with tides.

Thursday the 13th is a write-off for the most part, with a choppy cross-on wind ruining the 4 ft SSE swell. The morning is barely surfable, and the afternoon is just poor.

Friday the 14th is a weird one. The morning is marginal with a light ESE cross-on, but the afternoon is a gem. The wind drops to glassy, and we’ve got a 4 ft SSE swell with a 13-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 581. That’s a beautiful, clean window for a few waves.

Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are a rapid drop-off. The swell is tiny and weak, only 2 ft and 1 ft, with combined energy falling to 109 and then 44. Not worth paddling out for.

Then we hit a dead zone. From Monday the 17th through to Thursday the 20th, the swell is basically flat. The energy values are in the teens and single digits. There’s just nothing doing.

Now, Friday the 21st sees a pulse of 5 ft SSE swell, but the wind is a strong, choppy cross-on from the south. The combined energy is moderate at 397, but the quality is poor. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean surf session.

Saturday the 22nd stays messy, and it’s not until Sunday the 23rd that we get a proper standout. Sunday morning brings glassy conditions with a 4 ft SSE swell and a 12-second period. The combined energy is a solid 525. It’s clean, it’s glassy, and it’s going to be a lot of fun. The crowds are often a factor here at Campeche, so get there early.

But the real highlight of the whole forecast, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Monday the 24th. The morning is already good with a 4 ft SSE swell and a light offshore from the NNW, energy at 619. But the afternoon is where it’s at. We’re looking at a 5 ft SSE swell with a very long 16-second period, combined energy hitting a strong 1170. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW. This is a proper groundswell, and it’s going to have some grunt. The long period means it’ll be best on a point or a reef, but even at Campeche, a sandbar, it’ll be punchy with long lines between sets. This is the standout session of the whole 16 days.

After that, the end of the week into the 27th is a bit of a mixed bag with onshore winds, but Thursday morning the 27th offers one last clean window with a 4 ft S swell and a light cross-off from the north. Energy is moderate at 567. It’s a nice way to close it out.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is mostly small and quiet with a few glassy windows, but the real gold is Monday the 24th afternoon. That’s the one to circle.

Rusty.

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.
