Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our little corner of the coast.

We're looking at a bit of a mixed bag over this 16-day stretch, but there is definitely some quality to be had if you pick your windows.

The standout break for the whole period, and really the only one we're talking about, is Quimixto (a reef setup). The real magic happens from the get-go, early on Monday morning, September 7th. We've got a clean 4ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 14-second period, delivering moderate wave energy (873). The wind is glassy out of the NE at just 3 mph. It's going to be smooth, clean, and absolutely perfect for a beginner-friendly wave. For the advanced crew, the long period and the reef setup mean these waves will have some shape and push, especially as the swell holds over 4ft into the afternoon, though the wind gets a bit messy.

Water temps are about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report.

Don't sleep on Thursday morning, September 10th either. It's dead calm – truly glassy conditions – with a similar 4ft SW swell (16-second period) and a combined energy of 893. That's another morning of clean, long lines. The spot is fairly exposed to this swell direction, so it will be picking it up nicely.

Looking further out, there's another promising window as we head towards the middle of the month. The morning of Tuesday, September 15th, through to Thursday morning, September 17th, all have glassy or light wind mornings and swell around 4ft to 4ft from the SSW. That’s a solid run of conditions for this spot.

For the first week, the best surf is definitely Monday morning, September 7th, and Thursday morning, September 10th. If you can only pick one, go for the Monday – the combination of glassy wind and that consistent, long-period swell is hard to beat for a fun, clean session.

After that, keep an eye on Monday morning, September 21st. There's a nice 4ft SW swell pushing in with some real grunt, showing a combined energy reading of 1130 – that's moderate energy but on the strong side for this zone, and with glassy conditions. It's a long way out so keep the salt in your hair, but it looks like a promising finish to the outlook.

The afternoons through the period are often onshore or cross-onshore and the surf quality drops right off, so make your move early. If the swell is up and the wind is messy, this beach-and-reef setup could be more fun for the kite surfers than the paddle crew.

Overall, it's not a non-stop firing fortnight, but there are clear, clean mornings to be had if you're keen. Get amongst it.

Rusty.
