Does anyone know if there is decent surf in the western Bay of Campeche in the area around Veracruz. I have watched numerous cold fronts on swell models send huge swell in the area from Tampico southward. This area to the southernmost point of the bay has a relatively small continental shelf, and favorable winds which last for about a full day of the swell before the approaching front brings onshores if they get that far, per the models. If a front were to stall in the gulf, there appears to be 3 or 4 days of huge surf with great wind conditions. The current swell models shows 14 to 18 foot swell on a 10 second period from the recent front that just passed through the US. The swell has been there for over a day and the strong north winds are just arriving now. I have never heard anything about the surf in this area, and I am curious if anyone knows if there is anything decent down there.
Tampico Mexico surf forecast: http://www.swellinfo.com/surf-forecast/tampico-mexico.html Here is the forecast for Nautia, Mexico a little further down. http://www.swellinfo.com/surf-forecast/nautia-mexico.html This is not live on the site yet, but the forecast data is current. Will be live soon.
im sure they get some waves down there, but are you really gonna take a trip somewhere in the gulf?? it would also have to be a front that has real solid north winds, any west on the winds and most of the energy would most likely be headed towards cuba.
