The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Campeche over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the water temp is sittin' around 67°, which is pretty much right where you'd expect for this time of year – nothing weird goin' on there.

The first few days are a write-off, I won’t sugarcoat it. From Thursday the 20th right through to Saturday the 22nd, it’s all poor surf conditions with tiny, weak swell that barely registers any energy (24 to 1266). The wind is all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the waves are just a mess.

Things start to show a little life on Sunday the 23rd. We get a morning session with 4ft from the SSE, and the period stretches out to 11 seconds – that's got some proper groundswell feel to it. The energy is moderate (359), but the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it's not gonna be glassy. Still, it’s marginal, not a standout.

Monday the 24th looks punchy, with 7ft SSE swell and a very long 16-second period. The energy is strong (2750), but this is right on the edge of too big for beginners. The wind is light cross-onshore again, keepin' it from being perfect. The long period at a sandbar might make it break a bit straight, but there's juice.

The real standout window is Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th. Tuesday morning, we get 5ft SSE swell with a 13-second period and glass conditions – that’s a major positive, clean as a whistle. The energy is moderate to strong (659). Then Wednesday morning and afternoon are even better. On the 26th, we’ve got 5ft from the SE, 14-second period (very long period groundswell), with clean, glassy conditions and light offshore from the N. This is the best on offer: solid chest-to-head-high waves, clean, and that long period will really groove here. The energy is strong (821 and 691).

After that, it’s a slow fade. Thursday the 27th has some clean 4ft waves in the morning but the size drops, and by Friday the 28th we’re back to tiny, weak stuff that fizzles out completely. There’s a long gap of poor conditions from the 28th all the way through to the 1st of September – nothing worth paddling out for.

The second week is lean. Wednesday the 2nd of September shows a bit of promise for the afternoon, with 4ft SSE swell and a 14-second period, plus clean cross-off winds. The energy is strong (1150). But it’s a one-off marginal call, and the rest of that week is back to onshore winds and small, weak surf. Nothing to get excited about.

Honestly, if you’re lookin’ to score, your window is that Tuesday the 25th through Wednesday the 26th. The Wednesday morning session with glassy, clean lines is the pick of the bunch.

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.
