Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Quimixto.

We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead. The forecast shows a steady pulse of SSW swell arriving this Sunday and sticking around for several days. The water is sitting at a toasty 88°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real treat.

The standout period is from Sunday morning right through to Wednesday morning next week. The energy is pumping, with combined swell energy readings ranging from 1067 all the way up to 1801 – that’s strong to very strong wave energy, and you’ll feel the push.

Sunday morning kicks things off with a clean 4ft SSW groundswell, a very long period of 17 seconds, and glassy conditions with no wind. It’s going to be real clean and the sets will have plenty of punch. That morning session is beginner-friendly in size, but the long period means better shape and longer waits between sets.

Sunday afternoon turns a bit tricky with a cross-shore breeze and some storm risk, but Monday morning bounces right back with 4ft SSW swell, 16 second period, and clean, glassy conditions again. The energy is building, hitting 1318.

Tuesday morning is the real highlight for experienced surfers. The swell bumps to 4ft from the SSW, with an 18-second period, and it’s dead calm – glassy as it gets. Combined energy soars to 1567. That’s going to be beautifully lined up, and since Quimixto is a reef break, that long period groundswell will really shine. It’s best for those who know what they’re doing. Expect some company though – crowds are possible here sometimes.

Wednesday morning keeps the quality high with 6ft SSW swell, 16 seconds, and a clean cross-off breeze. That one’s got bite too, but the conditions will be rewarding.

From Wednesday afternoon onward, the size starts to drop slowly, but the quality holds through the end of the week. Thursday and Friday mornings offer clean glassy conditions with 4ft to 5ft SSW swell and long periods, still well worth a paddle.

We hit a mellow stretch from about July 14 onward. The swell fades to around 3ft and under, with periods dropping to 13-14 seconds, and the combined energy slips below 700. There’s still some fun glassy windows – like on July 16 morning and July 18 morning – but it’s more of a longboard or cruiser vibe.

All in all, the first week is where the magic is. Don’t sleep on that Tuesday morning glass-off – that’s the one you’ll be telling your mates about.

Rusty.
