Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got one spot on the radar: Quimixto. It’s a beginner-friendly reef break that’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it’s looking consistent through the whole 16-day window. The water’s sitting at 89°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice.

The action starts this Friday morning, 21 August, with a clean 2ft Southwest swell, period a very respectable 13 seconds. Winds are glassy from the ESE at only 3 mph, so it’ll be smooth as silk. Combined energy is moderate (349). It’s not big, but for a beginner-friendly reef, it’s a lovely little start to the weekend.

Saturday morning, 22 August, is even better. We’ve got a similar 2ft SSW swell, but the period bumps up to 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy (424). Glassy conditions again from the East. This will be fun, clean, and accessible. The standout from this first week, though, is Tuesday morning, 25 August. We get 3ft of SW swell at 16 seconds with a glassed-out 3 mph WNW wind. The energy is moderate (536), and it’s looking like a gorgeous, clean morning session for any level.

As we push into the second week, things start to get a bit more interesting. Saturday morning, 29 August, we see the swell pushing up to 5ft from the SSW with a 16-second period – combined energy is strong at 1293. Winds are light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. That’s getting into the fun zone, but still fine for a confident beginner.

The real highlight, though, looks to be Wednesday morning, 2 September. We’ve got a 4ft SSW swell with a 12-second period, but the wind turns offshore from the South at just 3 mph – clean all the way. The energy is strong (1107). Then Wednesday afternoon it builds to 5ft from the same direction, with a 10 mph offshore breeze. That’s proper clean, punchy surf for the more experienced crew. For beginners, that 5ft will be on the top end of comfortable.

After that, we roll into Thursday 3 September and Friday 4 September with more strong, glassy mornings: 4ft to 5ft SW swells, long periods of 15-16 seconds, and calm or light offshore winds. Combined energy is very strong (around 1260-1289). These mornings will be epic for anyone who knows what they’re doing, and still friendly enough for a game beginner with a bit of nerve.

Crowds are possible here, so get in early. With consistent swell and a run of good conditions, this is shaping up to be a solid outlook. It doesn’t stay poor for long in this part of the world.

Stay stoked,
Rusty.
