The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Quimixto.
The early part of the run is a bit of a slow burn. We’ve got a consistent, long-period groundswell running, but it’s not huge – coming in around 3 ft to 4 ft from the SSW. The real story here is the wind. For the first few days, we’re seeing a mix of glassy mornings and light cross-onshore afternoons. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 88°, which is a nice bonus.
The standout session is shaping up for the morning of Friday, August 14th. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the SW with a period of 18 seconds, and the wind is dead calm and glassy. Wave energy is solid at (1027). That’s gonna be clean, lined-up, and just about perfect for a beginner-friendly reef break. The tide will be the key, but if you time it right, that’s the pick of the spread.
The following morning, Saturday, August 15th, is also a real contender. The swell holds at 5 ft from the SW, still with a long 16-second period, and the wind is glassy again. Energy is strong at (1068). That’s a touch bigger, so you’ll get a bit more push, but it’s still manageable.
After that, the swell slowly fades through the second week. The mornings continue to offer glassy conditions, but the wave heights drop to around 3 ft to 3 ft by the end of the run. The session on Saturday, August 22nd, with a 3 ft SSW swell and a dead calm wind, is worth a mention for a fun, mellow paddle. The 23rd of August has a tiny 2 ft SSW swell, but the wind is offshore and clean, making it a potentially fun little longboard session.
Overall, don’t sleep on that Friday the 14th or Saturday the 15th. That’s as good as it gets in this window. The rest is a solid run of clean, small surf for the beginners and longboarders.
Rusty.

Information about the Quimixto Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Quimixto provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Quimixto can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Quimixto surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Quimixto) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Quimixto may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
