Campeche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Campeche over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, this stretch is looking pretty grim. The water is running much colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want a thick wetsuit if you're even thinking about paddling out. The forecast is dominated by small, weak waves and poor conditions, so don't get your hopes up.

We kick off on Saturday, 11th July. Light rain and a cross-offshore wind, but the swell is tiny at only 1 ft from the South with a very weak combined swell energy of just 12. It's poor, and not worth getting wet for.

Sunday the 12th brings a little more promise, but it's still a struggle. The morning is the best we're going to see for a while: glassy conditions with a light WSW wind, and a 2 ft south-southeast swell. The period is a long 9 seconds and the combined swell energy is a moderate 110. It's surfable, but ordinary. The afternoon goes downhill fast as the wind swings onshore and the swell period drops.

Monday the 13th sees the swell bump up to 6 ft from the south, but it's short-period at 8 seconds and the energy is moderate at 575. The problem is the cross-onshore wind and choppy conditions. Poor waves.

After that, from Tuesday the 14th right through to Saturday the 25th of July, we're in a dead zone. The swell drops to practically nothing – 0.7 ft, 0.3 ft, flat spells – with weak energy and mostly cross-offshore winds. It's clean, but there's nothing to ride. A long gap of nearly two weeks with no real surf on offer.

Finally, on Saturday the 25th of July, we see a slight flicker of life. A glassy morning with no wind, and a 2 ft south-southeast swell. The period is 11 seconds and combined energy is a moderate 115. The afternoon stays glassy with an easterly breeze. It's surfable, but still very ordinary. The best of a bad bunch, but nothing to get excited about.

Sunday the 26th closes it out with onshore winds and choppy surf, back to poor conditions.

Honestly, for the next two weeks, this is a write-off. There's no standout session, no wave worth chasing. You're better off taking a break or checking the forecasts again. If you absolutely have to get wet, Sunday the 12th morning or Saturday the 25th morning are your only real shots at a few clean but tiny waves. The rest is a bust.

Rusty.
