Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for Quimixto over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, starting this Sunday, the 6th of September, and it’s looking like a classic little stretch. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there – just your usual warm tropical bath.

The whole pattern kicks off with a clean, glassy Sunday morning. Swell is a tidy 5ft from the SSW with a very long 15-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is pumping at 1119, which is strong. This reef setup handles that direction well, and with light ENE winds making it glassy, the waves are going to be clean and well-shaped. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but that period is long, so expect some lulls between sets, making the paddle out a bit easier. The stand-out session of the whole outlook? That Sunday morning is it. Absolute glass, good size, and the offshore flow will have the faces looking like mirrors.

Monday morning the 7th holds another glassy morning with 4ft of SSW swell, still with a long 14-second period and combined energy at 873. Still very good. By the afternoons, we’ll see some cross-off winds keeping things clean, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms each arvo – keep an eye on the sky.

Tuesday the 8th drops a little, with 3ft on the morning glass, good fun but not the standout. The afternoons start to get a bit of a cross-shore bump, nothing terrible though.

Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th see the swell shifting more to the SW and the period jumps up to 16-17 seconds. Thursday morning is a beauty – 4ft, glassy calm, with 836 combined energy. Another top session, but the best is still that first Sunday.

We then get a solid run of mornings through the rest of the first week and into the second, with clean glassy conditions and swell hanging around 3ft to 4ft. The afternoons are mostly cross-onshore, so mornings are definitely the go.

Around Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th of September, we see a little pulse of SSW swell back up to 4ft with 16-second period and combined energy of 811, with glassy mornings again. Good chance for a repeat of the earlier quality.

The very end of the outlook, Monday the 21st of September, shows a glassy 4ft SW swell with 17-second period and combined energy of 851 – that’s a very promising sign for the end of the run, but it’s still a ways out, so keep it in the back of your mind.

Overall, it’s a consistent, quality forecast for Quimixto. If you’re picking one session, make it the Sunday 6th morning. The crowd can show up sometimes, so get in early. For beginners, stick to the smaller morning sessions around 3ft to 4ft; that 5ft with that long period might be a bit much.
