Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. The pattern across the whole period is one of small, clean, long-period groundswell – nothing huge, but plenty of opportunity for a longboard or a fish. The water is sitting at 88°F, which is 4°F warmer than the long-term average – that’s notably warm, so you’ll be in boardies for sure.

We start off on Sunday the 6th of September with a bit of a messy one. The swell is there at 4ft from the SSW, with a 15-second period, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms and a cross wind. The combined energy is moderate (1060). It’s not a write-off, but it’s not the pick of the week.

Monday the 7th is much the same – similar 4ft SSW swell but still on the messy side with those cross-onshore ripples.

Now, Tuesday the 8th of September is where it starts to get good. The early morning session at Quimixto is looking magic. We’ve got a 3ft SSW swell with a solid 13-second period, but the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions. That is pure gold for this reef setup. The water will be like a mirror. The combined energy is moderate (601).

Wednesday the 9th holds that same promise. The morning has a 3ft SW swell, but it’s the afternoon that really stands out – 3ft from the SW, a 17-second period, and glassy offshore wind. The energy is moderate (784) but the shape will be beautiful.

Thursday the 10th of September is another standout morning. Dead calm, absolutely glassy, with a 4ft SW groundswell and a 16-second period. The combined energy is solidly moderate (945). This is the kind of session you dream about – small but perfectly formed, clean lines, and nobody else around if you’re lucky. It is a consistent break, so the potential is there.

The following days are a mixed bag. The glassy mornings keep popping up – Saturday the 13th morning gives you a tiny 3ft SW swell, but the wind is glass again. Monday the 14th morning is similar. The standout mornings keep coming, but the afternoons are mostly ruined by onshore breezes.

Looking deeper into the second week, the promise picks up again. The morning of Tuesday the 15th of September is clean with 3ft SSW, but it’s the morning of Wednesday the 16th that has the most juice – 4ft from the SSW, glassy wind, and the combined energy is moderate (942). This looks like the best bet of the whole run.

We finish the window on Monday the 21st of September with another absolute gem of a morning. The wind is calm, the swell is 4ft from the SW with a 17-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (1035). The afternoon stays clean too with a cross-offshore breeze. That’s a full day on the cards.

If you can pick your windows, the mornings are where it’s at for this spot. The absolute standouts are the glassy Thursday the 10th, and the Wednesday the 16th and Monday the 21st mornings. Don't sleep on them.

Rusty.
