The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for Campeche. This is a sandbar setup that’s fairly consistent and gets its best juice from the south, so keep that in mind.

We’re heading into a bit of a slow patch for the first few days, but the real action starts to rattle in the middle of the period. The water temp is sittin’ right on the money for this time of year, so nothin’ wild to worry about on that front.

The first surf worth paddlin’ out for is on Wednesday morning, the 12th of August. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 12 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze from the NNW. The combined energy is moderate at 480, and conditions are clean. It’s a solid start, but not the headline act. The afternoon holds similar size and a bit more wind, but still clean.

Thursday the 13th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a longer 14-second period at 4ft, but the wind is cross-shore and it’s got some ripples on it. The afternoon gets chopped up with a cross-on wind, so not the best time to be out.

Now, Friday the 14th of August – this is where it gets good. The morning is glassy. Absolutely glassy. A slight air from the SSE, 3ft of swell with a 13-second period, and the energy is a solid 498. The afternoon is even better: glassy again, 4ft from the SE, 14-second period, and 532 energy. This is the standout window. The waves will be clean, lined up, and the longer period will give you some push. It’s a sandbar, so with that long period, look for the peaks that stand up. This is your best bet for the first week.

There’s a bit of a drop-off over the weekend. Saturday the 15th gives you small, surfable waves, but it’s ordinary. By Sunday morning, we’re down to 1ft, and it’s pretty much dead. Monday through Wednesday of the following week are a write-off, with tiny waves, flat spells, and some strong cross-on winds. We’re lookin’ at a gap of about four days here with nothin’ worth a paddle.

Then, on Thursday the 20th of August, the swell wakes up again. The morning is glassy, with a 6ft swell from the south at 9 seconds. The energy is strong at 569. Now, that 6ft is a fun size, but the period is a bit short, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and less powerful than the previous Friday. The afternoon flattens out and turns onshore, so the morning is the only window.

Friday the 21st has some swell but the wind is cross-on, so it’s messy. We get a bit of a run of poor conditions until Monday the 25th of August. That Monday morning looks tidy again: glassy, 3ft from the SSE with a 13-second period, and 320 energy. It’s a clean morning session, but nothing huge. The Tuesday afternoon on the 26th has a bigger 4ft swell but the wind is onshore, so it’s a bit of a tease.

So, to wrap it up: the true standout is Friday the 14th of August. Glassy conditions, solid 4ft swell with a long 14-second period, and moderate energy. For a sandbar, that’s clean, lined-up surf. The second best shout is the morning of Thursday the 20th, with that 6ft, but it’s a bit shorter period and a bit more of a wall. The rest of the window is mostly small or choppy, so pick your windows carefully.

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.
