Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here with a look at the upcoming surf window for Quimixto. This is a consistent reef set-up that's exposed to a solid SW swell window, and it's lookin' like a great run for the intermediate crew. The water is a balmy 88°F right now, which is a good 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a real treat, you'll be in the water in boardies and a rashie for sure.

The next couple of weeks are stacked with moderate wave energy, with combined energy readings sitting in the 600-900 range – that's a nice, workable amount of push. The best of the best is gonna be the morning glass-offs. The windows are clean, the wind is light or non-existent, and the swell is solid but not scary.

The standout is *Thursday, September 10th morning*. We've got a 4ft SW groundswell, a 16-second period, glassy conditions, and that combined energy is up at 885. It's a real treat for a reef like this – long-period swells love a point or a reef, you get those long, walling lines. The following morning, Friday 11th, ain't worth jumping out of bed for – the wind is cross-on, and it's lookin' a bit messy.

The next big one to circle is *Tuesday, September 15th morning*. Another 4ft SSW swell, matching the optimum direction, and with a 16-second period and glassy wind, it's going to be clean and punchy. The energy is up at 721, which is a nice solid pulse. Then *Wednesday, September 16th morning* is basically a repeat: 4ft SSW, 16 seconds, glassy, and the energy jumps to 946. That's a real strong pulse, and it will be worth paddling out for.

From there, the pattern holds. *Thursday, September 17th morning* is another 4ft SSW swell with glassy conditions. Then we get a slight dip in size, but the quality stays high. The *Saturday, September 19th morning* and *Sunday, September 20th morning* are both looking clean with nice 3ft and 4ft SW swells. The energy on the 20th morning is 1094, which is a serious push.

The real cherry on top is *Monday, September 21st morning*. We're looking at a 5ft SW swell with a 17-second period, combined energy of 1188, and glassy conditions. That's the biggest, cleanest, and most powerful window in the whole forecast. This is a solid groundswell, and at 5ft, it's a good size for an intermediate surfer, but a beginner might find it a bit much. The 17-second period means long gaps between sets, so paddling out is easier, but those waves are gonna have some serious punch.

The afternoons are a bit of a gamble with cross-shore or cross-on winds and a risk of thunderstorms, so stick to the early sessions. This spot is consistent, and it's a reef, so you'll get a defined peak. The crowds are only "sometimes" a problem, which is good news. All in all, the next two weeks are looking bloody good. The morning glass-offs are the key.

Rusty.
