Novo Campeche

Novo Campeche is at the northern tip of Campeche Beach, in the south of Santa Catarina Island, already heading toward Joaquina, and is considered a more open-sea beach break within the set of spots that make up the beach. The bottom is sand and the spot holds waves of up to 2.5 meters, working best with southeast or east swell and northeast to southwest wind, with the ideal tide on the rising or falling tide.

Campeche Island, right in front of the beach, helps filter part of the swell depending on the swell angle, which changes wave shape a lot from one day to the next. The crowd is usually moderate, smaller than at the main Pico, which attracts those who want room to surf more calmly. It's a good option when the rest of Campeche is small or very crowded, so it's worth checking the forecast before deciding which end of the beach to tackle.
