Campeche
Campeche is Florianópolis's most consistent spot, a beach break that picks up any E to SE swell and produces fun, rippable waves throughout the year. The beach stretches for several kilometers with multiple peaks, including the famous "Campeche Rights" that peel down the line with surprising quality. The offshore island of the same name provides some swell filtering that can clean up messy conditions. It's the go-to spot for Floripa locals when other spots are flat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Campeche?
Campeche is a beach break in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil, that mostly breaks right.
What swell works best at Campeche?
Campeche picks up swell from the ENE round to the SE, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the E. It starts working at around 0.9m and handles up to about 2.5m, with the sweet spot around 1.6 to 2.1m. Period matters too: aim for 12s or longer, as anything under 8s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.

A NW wind is dead offshore at Campeche, and anything from the W round to the N keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 5am to 10am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
