The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Quimixto.
The water temperature is sitting at about 89°, which is more than 4° above what you’d usually expect for this time of year, so it’s noticeably warmer than normal. That’s a nice touch for a paddle out.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start. Monday the 24th is a write-off – small, messy waves and a bit of a wind bump. Not worth your time. Tuesday the 25th though, things turn: glassy conditions early, with a clean 2ft SSW groundswell rolling in at 16 seconds. It’s small, but those long, clean lines will be a joy on this reef setup, especially with nobody fighting for waves. Wednesday morning the 26th looks similar, another glassy session with waist-high 3ft swell.
Then we hit a bit of a lull Wednesday afternoon into Thursday, but Thursday morning the 27th bounces back with more glassy, clean 3ft SW groundswell, and the energy is picking up. Friday morning the 28th is a real standout: dead calm, glassy as you could hope for, with a building 3ft SSW groundswell and moderate combined energy (793). It’ll be clean, fun, and uncrowded.
Saturday the 29th sees the swell jump to 7ft from the SSW, which is a solid size, but the wind turns cross-onshore and the conditions get a bit scrappy. That’s one for experienced surfers only if you’re feeling bold, but the shape won’t be perfect. Sunday the 30th brings a return to glassy morning waves around 4ft, very good conditions.
The real highlight, though, looks to be Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning starts glassy with a 3ft SW groundswell but a very long 19-second period, meaning it’ll have heaps of push. By the afternoon, the swell builds to 5ft from the SSW at 18 seconds, with clean, cross-offshore wind. That’s expert territory, but the wave quality will be excellent. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are also pumping for the experienced crew – morning glass, 6ft to 6ft SSW groundswell, lots of energy. Those days are the absolute best on offer.
After that, the swell eases off through Sunday and Monday, but Tuesday the 8th has another glassy morning with a 4ft SSW swell that looks fun and clean.
So to sum it up: the standout windows are Friday morning August 28th for smaller, perfect waves, and Thursday through Saturday, September 3rd to 5th for bigger, more powerful surf for those who can handle it.
Rusty.

Information about the Quimixto Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Quimixto provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Quimixto can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Quimixto surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Quimixto) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Quimixto may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
