Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s heading our way for the next couple of weeks. The water’s a warm 88°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be wanting the boardies.

The first bit of action kicks off this Saturday morning with a clean 4ft SSW swell, glassy conditions, and the combined wave energy sitting at a moderate 649. It’s a gentle opener, but the real quality shows up Sunday morning. The swell builds to 4ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 17 seconds, pushing the energy to 1067. With that glassy morning, you’re looking at chest-to-head high waves with some real grunt.

Monday morning is another beauty. The swell holds at 4ft from the SSW, the period is a meaty 16 seconds, and the energy climbs further to 1324. With zero wind, it’s going to be as perfect as it gets. Now, the true standout of this first week is Tuesday morning, July 7th. That’s the pick of the whole forecast. You’re looking at 4ft of SSW groundswell, an 18-second period, and the energy is a strong 1557. Dead calm, glassy. For experienced surfers, that reef is going to be an absolute dream. Powerful, lined-up sets, and the long gaps between them make paddling out a breeze.

Wednesday morning stays solid with 5ft from the SSW (energy 1313) and glassy conditions, though the energy drop hints the swell is easing. The mornings from Thursday through Saturday the 11th of July are still surfable with 4ft, but the period drops to 15 seconds and the wind texture gets a little messy.

We then hit a lull from Sunday the 12th through to Wednesday the 16th. The swell really backs off, dropping from 4ft down to just 2ft. It’s a flat spell, though there are a few clean early morning windows on the 13th and 16th if you want a tiny log session.

Then, on Friday the 17th of July, the ocean wakes up. The morning brings a solid 8ft SSW swell (energy 1572) and the afternoon hits a chunky 8ft (energy 2520). That’s a big, powerful swell with a 12-14 second period. The wind turns onshore in the afternoon though, so it’ll be raw. That’s expert-only territory on the reef. After that pulse, the weekend of the 18th and 19th settles back to a manageable 3ft from the SSW with clean windows and a long period. A nice way to finish.

So your absolute best bets are Tuesday morning, July 7th for the best quality, and Monday morning, July 6th is a close second. Just remember, Quimixto can get crowded, so get out there early for the cleanest waves.

Rusty.
