Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at the upcoming surf for Quimixto.

We’ve got a decent run of waves ahead, but it’s not going to be pumping every day. The swell sticks around from the SW/SSW, with a classic reef break setup that should handle the size. The water is *much* warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting beautifully warm at 89°F. That’s a treat.

Sunday the 16th kicks things off, but it’s only a so-so start. The swell is around 4ft from the SW, but that cross-onshore NW wind at 10 km/h messes with the surface. You’ll get some waves, but it’s not the magic window. The combined energy is moderate at 634.

Monday the 17th is where we get our first real highlight. *Monday morning*, glass it right up with a NNW breeze at only 5 km/h. The swell is a clean 4ft from the SSW, and the period is a long 14 seconds, so you’re looking at proper lines. That’s the time to be out. The energy is solid at 567. The afternoon goes a bit cross-off with a breeze, but the morning is your window.

We see a pattern of glassy mornings all through the week. Tuesday the 18th morning, dead calm wind, 4ft SSW swell. Wednesday the 19th morning, clean again, NE wind, 3ft. Thursday the 20th morning, glass off the north, 3ft. Friday the 21st morning, same vibe, 2ft. These are all clean, tidy, small-wave days for the longboard or a funboard, with moderate energy in the 300-500 range. The swell is getting a bit smaller through the middle part of the week.

There’s a bit of a lull in quality for a few days here, with the swell dropping and some afternoons being messy. But then we get a nice ramp-up.

Saturday the 22nd morning is worth a mention – light rain, cross-off wind from the east at 10 km/h, and a surprising jump in period to 16 seconds on a 2ft SSW swell. That’s a long period, giving those waves a bit more punch than the size suggests. Energy is 425.

Sunday the 23rd is another standout morning. Glassy conditions, ESE wind at 5 km/h, swell back up to 3ft from the SSW at 14 seconds. Energy jumps to 621. That’s a solid little morning session.

Monday the 24th morning is dead calm, with a very long period of 17 seconds. The swell is only 2ft from the SW, but that period is *very long* – it’ll be a slow, clean, peeling wave on the reef, perfect for a relaxing session. Energy is 544.

Now, for the true highlight of the whole run, you want to look at Friday the 28th, Saturday the 29th, and Sunday the 30th. We get a nice swell pulse.

- Friday morning the 28th: 4ft from the SW, 16 second period, glassy winds from the NNE at 5 km/h. Energy is strong at 849. That’s quality.

- Saturday morning the 29th: The big one. 5ft from the SSW, 16 second period, dead calm wind. Energy hits 1001, which is strong. This is the pick of the forecast. The reef will be handling it perfectly, and with that period, the wave shape should be excellent. It’s a bit overhead for beginners, but for anyone with some experience, this is the session to target.

- Sunday morning the 30th: Still holding at 4ft from the SSW, 15 second period, glassy NE wind. Strong energy at 766. Another fantastic morning.

After that, Monday the 31st morning is clean with a 4ft SSW swell and 14 second period. A nice way to finish.

Best on offer: Without a doubt, Saturday the 29th morning is the standout. That 5ft SSW groundswell with a 16 second period and glassy winds will have Quimixto looking its absolute best. Friday the 28th morning is a close second.
