Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

This is a solid run of Southern Hemi groundswell for Quimixto, and the water is pumping at 89°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The swell energy is strong to very strong through the first few days, with a combined energy reading of 1448 on Saturday morning. That’s a lot of juice in the water.

Saturday, 29 August kicks off with a bang. We’ve got a 5ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a 16-second period, and the wind is glassy in the morning. This is big, powerful, and long-period stuff – it’s going to be a thumping, clean reef break. Saturday afternoon the wind shifts to a light cross-offshore, still clean, but the wave height holds. This is the standout session of the whole outlook: excellent surf for experienced surfers, very consistent, and the water is glassy.

Sunday, 30 August morning stays glassy with 5ft SSW swell, but the energy drops a bit (938). Still very good. By afternoon, a light cross-onshore wind and smaller swell make it a bit of a letdown.

Monday, 31 August morning is glassy again with 4ft SW swell – clean and fun. The afternoons are pretty much a write-off for the rest of the week due to cross-onshore wind.

Wednesday, 3 September morning is a real stand-out. 4ft SW swell, glassy, 18-second period, and the energy is back up to 1483. That’s beautifully clean, long-period groundswell. Perfect for a reef.

Thursday, 4 September morning is a bit of a tease – 5ft SSW swell but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not as clean as it could be. The energy is massive at 1989, but the wind isn’t helping.

Saturday, 5 September morning looks excellent again. Glassy, 5ft SSW, 16-second period – back to the big, clean, powerful stuff. Get on it.

From Sunday, 6 September onward, the swell drops off slowly. The mornings remain glassy, and the waves are clean but smaller – 5ft dropping to 2ft by the end. The energy dips into the moderate range (below 1000). The afternoons stay marginal.

The last real highlight is Thursday, 10 September morning. Glassy, 3ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and the energy is back above 1000 (1028). Clean, long-period groundswell for a solid morning session.

Beyond that, the swell is small and inconsistent, with the final days only offering knee-high, clean but weak waves. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue at Quimixto, so on the standout mornings, expect a few others in the water.
