The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day run for Campeche is a bit of a mixed bag, and we’ve got a slow start. The first decent window doesn’t show up until Monday morning the 24th of August. After that, there are a few bright spots, but the second week fades into small, poor conditions with big gaps where you wouldn’t even bother paddling out.
The first solid swell arrives Monday morning the 24th. Campeche (sandbar) picks up a clean 6ft S swell with a very long period of 15 seconds. The wind is glassy – absolute perfection for a morning session. The combined wave energy is pumping at 1589 (strong to very strong). That’s groundswell, and on a sandbar, those long gaps between sets can make it a bit tricky to position, but the power and shape will be there. Water temp is 67°, which is about average for this time of year.
That Monday morning is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s the best on offer: good size, clean conditions, and that long-period energy will give you some proper push. The break is fairly consistent, and while crowds are often a thing here, on a Monday morning you might get a bit more room. The swell is a touch big for beginners, but fine for anyone with some experience.
Tuesday morning the 25th is still worth a look – 4ft SSE swell, 13-second period, with a clean offshore NNW breeze. The energy is moderate (512). It’s a smaller, cleaner option if Monday’s a bit too big for you.
Wednesday morning the 26th has another pulse: 6ft SE swell, 15-second period, cross-off N wind, and energy at 1297 (strong). That’s another good session, but the wind is cross-off, not glassy, so not quite as pristine as Monday.
After Wednesday, it drops off fast. Thursday the 27th is small and marginal, and from Friday the 28th right through to the end of the first week of September, the surf is tiny – mostly under 2ft with poor conditions. There’s a gap of several days with no recommendations.
There is a brief pulse on Wednesday afternoon the 2nd of September – 7ft S swell with a short period of 8 seconds and cross-off wind – but it’s marginal and not clean. Too big for beginners, and the short period makes it dumpy. Not one to get excited about.
Bottom line: if you want the best waves in this stretch, you’ve got Monday the 24th of August locked in. The rest is slim pickings.
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.
