Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

First up, we’ve got Quimixto, a reef break that’s consistent and beginner-friendly. The water is sitting at a warm 88°, which is a good two and a half degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real standout, you’ll be feeling that difference.

The week kicks off Saturday morning, July 4th, with glassy, clean conditions and a 4ft swell from the SSW. The combined energy’s up at 649 (moderate), and that 14-second period means long, rolling lines. It’s a solid start, but the real gems are coming. Sunday morning, July 5th, is a beauty: glassy, clean, 4ft of SSW groundswell, and the energy jumps to 1067 (strong). The wave shape will be there, and the crowds are only a *sometimes* thing here, so you’ve got a good chance of getting a few waves to yourself. Monday morning, July 6th, is another glassy morning with 4ft, and the energy keeps climbing to 1318 (strong).

Now, the highlight of the first week is Tuesday morning, July 7th. That’s a standout. Glassy conditions, 4ft of SSW swell, and the combined energy hits 1558 (strong). The period is 18 seconds – that’s a long, powerful groundswell, and for a reef setup like this, it’s going to reel off beautifully. This is the best of the first few days.

Wednesday and Thursday mornings stay glassy and clean, with 5ft and 4ft respectively, but the afternoons all get a bit dicey with cross-shore winds and the risk of thunderstorms. The following weekend, July 11th and 12th, sees a drop in quality with more cross-on winds and a lack of glassy conditions. There’s a bit of a lull mid-week, with smaller, cleaner waves on the mornings of the 14th, 15th, and 16th – around 2ft to 3ft, but still clean and surfable.

Then, hold onto your board. Friday, July 17th, brings a big change. The morning is glassy again, but the swell jumps to 6ft from the S, with a combined energy of 1382 (strong). This is pushing into the territory for experienced surfers only. Saturday, July 18th, is the real standout of the whole 16-day window. The morning is glassy, 7ft of SSW swell, with a massive combined energy of 1956 (very strong). This is a solid, powerful swell. The period is a bit shorter at 12 seconds, so it’ll be a bit more punchy on the takeoff, but for a reef, it’s going to be a thrilling session. This is for the experienced crew, not beginners. Sunday, July 19th, keeps the run going with a glassy morning, 7ft of SW swell, and energy at 1631 (very strong). That’s another excellent session for the experts.

So, the bottom line: if you’re a beginner, stick to the earlier mornings. If you’re an experienced surfer, your window is the mornings of July 17th, 18th, and 19th – with the 18th being the absolute pick of the forecast. The afternoons throughout are a bit of a gamble with the wind and storms.

Rusty, signing off. Stay safe out there.
