Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into what the next couple of weeks are looking like for our little corner of the coast.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a stretch of solid, consistent SSW groundswell rolling in. The water is sitting at a balmy 88°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you won't be needing that 4/3, that's for sure.

The action kicks off on Saturday the 4th with a small, clean 3ft swell from the SSW, but it’s a bit messy with a light cross-on wind. The real story starts Sunday morning the 5th. The wind goes totally glassy, and we see the swell jump to 4ft with a very long 17-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy (1067 combined energy) and it’s going to set up beautifully. Quimixto is the only game in town, and it’s a consistent reef break, so expect some lined-up, clean waves. Monday morning the 6th is more of the same magic – glassy conditions again with a solid 4ft swell.

Now, the standout of this whole run is hands down Tuesday morning the 7th. The forecast is calling for a glassy 4ft SSW swell with an 18-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 1557, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar – that long period swell from the SSW is going to wrap perfectly into that reef, offering some serious, powerful walls.

The good energy keeps flowing through Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th with glassy mornings and swell around 5ft to 6ft. Wednesday morning sees that 6ft mark which is pushing into the upper end for beginners, but for anyone else, those clean, glassy dawn sessions are pure gold.

We do see conditions turning more marginal from Friday the 10th onwards as the winds get a bit cross-onshore, and the swell period drops. The following week, from the 13th onward, the swell backs off significantly, dropping to around 2ft to 3ft with shorter periods. The consistency is still there, but the power fades. By the 19th of July, Sunday afternoon shows a glimmer of hope with a 3ft SSW swell and some very good conditions returning, so keep an eye on that.

Overall, don’t sleep on that run from the 5th to the 9th. That’s your best bet. Tuesday morning the 7th is the absolute pick – just be ready for some long lulls between sets with that 18-second period, but the clean, lined-up waves will be worth the wait.

Stay wet, stay stoked.
