The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cookin' at Campeche.
First off, the immediate future is pretty grim. We are looking at a long stretch with no real surf to speak of. The first week is basically a total washout. The water is sitting at about 63°, which is a bit colder than we usually expect this time of year.
From now through the 16th of September, the conditions are just poor. The swell is small, the wind is mostly onshore from the south or south-southwest, keeping the surface chopped up and lumpy. The wave energy is mostly weak to moderate, nothing that's going to get your heart racing. It’s a flat, windy stretch.
The first chance for a half-decent paddle comes on the morning of Thursday, the 17th of September. We’ll see a 4ft groundswell from the SSE with a long period of 11 seconds. The real story is the wind: a light offshore from the NNW. That’s going to clean things right up. The energy will be moderate at 334. It won't be a big day, but after a week of junk, it might be enough to get wet.
Now, for the real standout: look towards Thursday the 24th of September. The morning is showing some serious potential. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the south, spinning up a high energy reading of 824—that’s strong wave energy. The wind is forecast to be light from the south, turning the surface glassy. That is a huge plus. Clean, glassy conditions on a solid swell at this sandbar is the kind of day you call in sick for. The afternoon gets a bit messy with the tide, but that Thursday morning session looks like the absolute best bet of the whole 16-day window.
So, be patient. You’re looking at a long dry spell, a brief chance for a clean session on the 17th, and then one proper standout morning on the 24th. If you can hold out for that one, you’ll be rewarded.
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.
