Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty here, looking over the next stretch of waves.

To be straight with you, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up, but there are definitely some windows where it all comes together. It’s not going to be a week of endless perfection, but if you pick your moments, especially the mornings, you’ll find some clean ones. The water temp is sitting right about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy to worry about there.

We start right away on Friday the 14th. The morning at Quimixto is looking like a great place to be. There’s a clean 4ft SW groundswell pushing in, with light offshore wind making it glassy. The wave energy is strong, coming in around (1096), so there’s some push behind it. It’s a consistent spot, and this morning window is a clear standout for the first few days. The afternoon sees it pick up a touch to 5ft and the wind turns a bit cross-on, making it a bit messier, but still rideable.

Saturday the 15th has a similar story. Another 5ft SW swell, and the morning is dead glassy with zero wind. That’s your first real standout. It’s going to be clean and fun. Just watch the afternoon as the sea breeze kicks in that cross-on chop again.

Sunday the 16th, the swell eases a bit to 4ft, but we still have a glassy morning that’ll be worth a surf before the afternoon wind. The energy drops a bit to a moderate range (643). We get a period of smaller surf from Monday the 17th through Wednesday the 19th. It’s not big, but there are still clean morning windows with 4ft and 3ft of swell. Monday morning has a bit of an onshore wind, but the afternoons offer some cross-off conditions. It’s a lot of looking for the cleaner time of day.

Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are the low point in size, dipping under 3ft. The energy really fades, into the 300s. Friday morning the 21st is glassy with a long period 13-second swell, so the few waves that come through will be well-shaped, though small. We then have a couple of grovelly days on Saturday the 22nd. By Sunday the 23rd, there’s a little more life in the water again, and the afternoon looks glassy with a fun 3ft SSW swell, quite clean.

Now, here’s the real promise for the long game. The standout of the entire outlook is Monday the 24th. The good stuff rolls in with a 5ft S swell, but the period has dropped to a short 9-11 seconds. However, the whole day is showing very good conditions, with glassy mornings and clean cross-off winds in the afternoon. This is your call-to-action day. Get in the water.

After that, the waves back off again for a few days, but the quality remains. We have small, clean options through the middle of the week. Then, into the final stretch starting Thursday the 27th, the energy starts to build back again. On Thursday and Friday the 28th, we see the long period return (15-16 seconds) with clean conditions. The afternoon of Friday the 28th is especially promising with a 4ft SW groundswell and a gentle offshore breeze, making for clean, glassy lines. Energy is back up around (898), a strong signal.

The last day in the window, Saturday the 29th, looks like a great way to end it. 4ft SW swell, dead calm, and absolutely glassy. Another top pick.

So, to boil it down: get out there early on the weekend for the cleanest waves. And don’t miss the mornings of the 23rd and the all-day promise of the 24th. That’s the high tide of the forecast. The second week looks smaller, but the clean windows are still there if you're keen.

Rusty, signing off.
