The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow starter. The first few days are a write-off, with nothing worth paddling out for. Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd are a total mess – onshore winds and choppy, poor conditions. Don’t bother. The real story begins to unfold on Sunday the 23rd.
Sunday morning the 23rd is when things finally turn. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSE, but the real beauty is that glassy, off-shore wind from the SSW. That’s proper clean surf. The period is a long 12 seconds, which is a groundswell. That long period gives it some real shape, but it might make the waves a bit more lined up and tricky at a beach break. The combined energy is moderate (379). This is the first stand-out window.
Monday the 24th looks promising too, with a bigger 6ft to 6ft SSE swell and a very long period hitting 15 seconds. That’s a lot of energy (1457) and a very long wait between sets. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s workable. This is more for the experienced crew as it’s pushing over 5ft.
The real gem of the whole forecast looks to be Wednesday morning the 26th. The winds are light and cross-offshore from the NNW, keeping the faces clean. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the SE with a long 14-second period, bringing a solid wave energy of 817. The forecast is calling for “very good surf conditions.” This is the standout. Get on it.
The rest of the week into the first of September tails off. Tuesday the 27th is clean but the swell drops. From Friday the 28th onward, it’s all very small, weak, and pretty much flat. There’s a long gap of poor to no surf from the 28th of August all the way through to the 3rd of September.
Looking further out, there’s a flicker of hope on Saturday the 5th of September. The morning shows a 4ft SSE swell with a 11-second period and clean offshore winds from the NW. The energy is moderate (302). It’s a long way out, so treat it as a promising possibility, but not a lock.
The water temp at Campeche is sitting at 67°, which is about normal for this time of year.
That’s the story for Campeche. A couple of clean, glassy windows right around the 23rd and 26th of August are the ones to circle. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
