Spot intelligence.

Campeche only receives a strong recommendation when a substantial south swell refracts along the bank. Ordinary local windsea should not promote the rare long right, and seasonal traditional fishing restrictions remain outside the forecast score.

Character

01

Campeche is defined by fickle, long right walls refracting along the sandbank over sand banks along a curved shoreline. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.

Best setup

02

Large S swell swell, w–nw offshore and low to mid tide · sandbank dependent form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 1.0–4.2 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.

Lineup read

03

Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to strong rip currents, crowded takeoff when active, local fishing restrictions. Local signs and advice always take priority.
