About Campeche
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (90°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (270°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 26). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 18°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 26°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually February, April, May and June, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Barra da Lagoa. Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
