The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same forecast for Campeche in feet and miles per hour.
The water's sittin' around 67°, which is pretty average for the season. The start is a slow grind. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st of August are barely worth a look. We're talkin' ankle to knee-high surf, 1 to 2 feet, from the SSE with a short period. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, just makin' it sloppy.
Saturday the 22nd of August shows a big jump in size, up to 7 feet from the south, with a solid energy reading (1162). But the wind is cross-onshore, so it's gonna be choppy and pretty ugly. That size is also gettin' too big for the beginners.
The real highlight, the one to circle on the calendar, is Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th of August. We've got a strong SSE groundswell, 5 to 6 feet, with a real long period of 13 to 15 seconds, packin' a ton of energy (1477 Monday mornin'). The wind on Tuesday is lookin' like a light offshore from the north, which is gonna make it glassy clean. This is the best of the bunch. That long period will mean fewer waves in a set, but the shape will be money. The break is a sandbar, so it's a good bet. Just know you won't be alone out there; crowds are a given.
After that, the surf drops off a cliff. Wednesday the 26th has some cleaner 3-foot waves, but it's smaller. From Thursday the 27th of August all the way through to the first days of September, it's a long, dry spell. Mostly small, weak waves under 3 feet, and often with onshore winds messin' 'em up.
There's a final spike on the 4th of September, with a 10-foot south swell and a massive energy reading (1707), but the wind is onshore and it's rainin' heavy. That's a dangerous, blown-out mess for experts only.
Bottom line: Tuesday the 25th of August is your day. The rest of the two weeks is pretty grim.
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.
