The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Campeche is a sandbar setup that’s fairly consistent, but looking at this 16-day window, it’s gonna be a tough run for the most part. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year in early September, so nothing wild there.
The first week is pretty much a write-off. From Wednesday the 2nd right through to Sunday the 6th, we’ve got poor surf conditions with cross-onshore winds and choppy, lumpy seas. The swell energy is weak to moderate, with values between 12 and 307 in the combined energy readings. The waves that do show up are small, messy, and just not worth paddling out for. The wind is all over the shop, mostly from the south, and it’s not giving us any clean windows.
We do get a bit of a pulse kicking in around Monday the 7th. The morning shows a 7ft swell from the south at 10 seconds, but the combined energy jumps up to 1055 – that’s a solid, moderate-to-strong push. The trouble is, the wind is cross-shore and moderate, making it fairly choppy. The score is only a 1, meaning it’s more marginal than anything. This swell is getting a bit too big for beginners, and with that cross-chop, it’s really only for the experienced crew. For the rest of the week, it’s back to small, poor conditions with cross-onshore winds.
The second week is mostly flat or tiny. Some clean spells show up on the 15th and 16th, with light offshore winds and a slight air, but the swell is only 1ft with a long period of 11-12 seconds. That’s a groundswell, but it’s just too small to do anything with. The combined energy is weak, under 70.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the Monday the 7th morning session. That 7ft south swell with 10-second period has the most energy in the whole run, but don’t expect perfection. It’s a cross-shore wind, so it’ll be bumpy. For a sandbar, that long period tends to make things a bit straight, but at least there’s some push. It’s the only window where the swell is big enough to get a proper wave.
Overall, this is a pretty barren forecast. The surf is poor for the vast majority of the 16 days, and there are long gaps with no real recommendation. The consistent nature of Campeche usually means it’ll turn around, but not this time.
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.
