Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Quimixto for the next couple of weeks. The water’s warm—about 88°F—a touch above average for this time of year, so you’re good in boardshorts.

First session worth getting wet for is Saturday afternoon, 8 August. Swell is 4ft from the SSW, light cross-onshore wind from the NW at 6 mph. Moderate energy (649). It’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for the gems.

Sunday morning, 9 August, cleans right up. Glassy conditions, ESE breeze at 3 mph, same 4ft SSW swell with a 14-second period—that’s proper long-period groundswell, perfect for the reef at Quimixto. Clean lines, easy paddling out. Moderate energy (557). A solid call for a lazy Sunday session.

Monday morning, 10 August, is another glassy morning—dead calm, 3ft SSW swell at 13 seconds. Moderate energy (567). Not big, but clean as a whistle.

Now, mark your calendar for Friday afternoon, 14 August. That’s the standout. Swell hits 5ft from the SW, 17-second period, glassy with a slight air from the west, and strong energy (1379). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The reef will shape that long-period swell into proper waves.

Saturday morning, 15 August, keeps the quality—5ft SW, glassy, strong energy (1151). Another cracker morning.

From there, it’s a run of smaller, clean mornings through to Sunday 23 August. Most mornings are glassy with 3ft to 4ft SSW swell and moderate energy. Afternoons get a cross-on breeze and the odd thunderstorm risk, so aim for those early starts.

No big dry spells here—you’ll find clean surf most mornings, especially if you’re after consistent, manageable waves on a reef. Quimixto can get a few folks around sometimes, so don’t expect solitude.

Pick your windows, paddle smart, and enjoy.

Rusty.
