Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey everyone, Rusty here with the lowdown. We’ve got a solid stretch of surf lined up, starting now and running for a good while. The early mornings are where it’s at, with clean conditions and some proper long-period groundswell that’ll make for some memorable sessions.

Starting things off, Quimixto is the spot. It’s a consistent reef break that’s fine for beginners, so it’s good for everyone. The water’s at 88°, running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won’t need the thick rubber. We’ve got a southwest groundswell rolling in with a very long 18-second period. That’s a lot of energy, carrying a combined swell energy of 974 (moderate) and making for clean 3ft waves. With glassy offshore winds from the NNE at just 3 mph, Tuesday morning (11th August) is going to be absolute glass. This long-period swell is best on the reef or a point.

Wednesday morning (12th August) is another cracker. The swell bumps up a hair to 4ft from the SW, still a long 16-second period, and those glassy NE winds at 3 mph are back. This is a standout window. Energy is moderate at 689, but the quality will be high.

Thursday morning (13th August) looks just as good. Clear skies, glassy 3ft SW swell, combined energy at 696 (moderate). More of the same high-quality stuff.

Friday morning (14th August) might just be the pick of the first week. The combined energy jumps to 1096 (moderate to strong) with a 4ft SW swell and an 18-second period. The wind is dead calm. It’ll be pristine out there.

Saturday morning (15th August) keeps the streak going. A clean 5ft SW swell with a 16-second period and combined energy of 1151 (moderate to strong). This is pushing into bigger territory but is still a great wave for solid intermediates. Those glassy NE winds at 3 mph keep it clean.

Into the second week, the pattern holds but sizes ease. Sunday morning (16th August) is still good with 4ft SW swell. Monday morning (17th August) has 4ft SW swell and a full glass-off with zero wind, though storms could pop up later. Tuesday (18th August) through Saturday (22nd August) all have good mornings with swell from 3ft to 3ft and glassy conditions. The afternoons tend to get a bit onshore, so dawn patrol is the move.

The standout overall: It’s tough to beat those first few mornings. If I had to pick one, Friday morning (14th August) with the dead calm, 4ft groundswell and 18-second period will be a session to remember. But honestly, any morning from Tuesday (11th August) through Saturday (15th August) is going to be excellent.

Late in the run, Sunday (23rd August) and Monday morning (24th August) drop right off to 2ft, but that long-period SW swell is still there at 18 seconds, so there's a lull. By Tuesday morning (25th August) and Wednesday morning (26th August) it starts to build back to 3ft, so the run isn't completely dead.

That’s the picture from your mate Rusty. Get out there early.
