The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
The truth is, this is a slow start. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak swell, so we’re looking at a gap of about three days with nothing worth paddling out for. The real action doesn’t show up until Saturday the 8th, and that’s where we find the standout of the whole period.
Campeche (sandbar) – The main event is Saturday, August 8th. We’ve got a solid 4ft groundswell rolling in from the SSE with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s proper energy, and the combined swell energy is strong at 610. The wind is light offshore out of the NW in the morning, going glassy, so the surface will be clean. This is the best on offer, no question. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Expect some crowds though, as it gets busy here often. This swell is a bit big for beginners, but it’s a good size for intermediates.
Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are a write-off as strong southerly winds trash the surface with choppy, cross-onshore conditions, even though there’s still some swell in the water.
The following week is a mixed bag. A few days from the 12th to the 13th offer small, rideable waves in the 3ft to 4ft range, but conditions are just ordinary. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’s clean, but the energy is weak to moderate. Nothing to get excited about.
There’s a flicker of glassy conditions on the morning of the 15th, but the swell is tiny at 2ft and the energy is low.
The final potential highlight is Tuesday, August 18th. By the afternoon, we see a 6ft SSE swell with moderate energy (278) and clean, cross-off winds. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a bumpy, wind-driven wave, but the size is there. This is one for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 5ft and could be a handful.
Overall, the standout is without a doubt the morning of Saturday, August 8th. The second week is a promise at best, with that Tuesday the 18th being a possible runner-up if the wind holds. Keep an eye on that one.
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.
