The Lowdown

Alright, surf’s coming back around. It’s been a bit of a flat spell, but there’s a window of proper waves opening up for us, and it’s worth waiting for. The first week is mostly a write-off, so don’t get too excited about the daily surf checks just yet. We’re looking at a real pulse of energy arriving in the second week that’ll get the heart rate up.

The next week is grim. From Wednesday the 27th right through to the 8th of September, there’s just nothing doing. The swell’s tiny, the period’s weak, and the wind’s mostly junk. You’ll see some small, weak waves in the knee-to-waist high range, but it’s not going to be worth paddling out for. A lot of the time the energy is just pathetic, with combined energy readings down in the low double digits. It feels like the ocean’s holding its breath. There’s a slight tease on the 1st and 2nd of September, with the swell poking up to the 5ft to 5ft range, but it’s coming from the SSE and the wind is cross-onshore. It’s going to be a messy, bumpy mess, not the kind of thing you want to fight for.

Then it changes. Wednesday the 9th of September is where it’s at. The swell jumps up to a solid 8ft from the south, with a period around 9 seconds. The energy reading is a hefty 1380, which is a serious push of water. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the north, which is going to keep the face clean. This is a proper swell, the kind that will have the sandbar at Campeche handling some size. It’s not for the faint of heart though – at 8ft, this is for the experienced crew. The boys and girls who know how to handle a proper wave. This is the standout of the whole run. If you can only make one session, make it this morning.

Thursday the 10th of September keeps the hopes up. The swell settles a bit to a more manageable 5ft, but the period stretches out to 13 seconds, giving it some proper push and shape. The wind is still light and offshore, and the energy reading is a strong 905. The conditions are looking very good again. It’s a different kind of wave to the day before – more powerful and lined up from that longer period. This could be the better one for the intermediate surfer who missed out on the bigger Wednesday. The sandbar should be handling it beautifully with these clean conditions.

So there you have it. A whole lot of nothing, then a couple of days of proper, clean surf. Don’t waste your energy on the flat spell, save it for the 9th and 10th. The long range look is always a bit of a gamble, but when it lines up like this, it’s a promise worth keeping.

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.
