Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's get into it.

We’ve got a 16-day window here, and the main event is definitely early on. The first few days offer the most size and energy, but the quality is a bit mixed. The good news is, there's a sweet spot of glassy, clean conditions to aim for, especially the mornings. The swell is coming from the SSW and SW, with some seriously long period groundswell in the mix, which is a treat for this reef break.

The standout session is gonna be Sunday the 6th of September. Early morning, Quimixto is showing a solid 5 ft swell from the SSW with a 15-second period. The combined energy is pumping at (1119) – moderate but packing a punch. But the real kicker? The wind is glassy. Dead flat, offshore from the SSE. That’s a recipe for perfection. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s like a bath. This is a beginner-friendly reef, so that 5 ft with glassy conditions is going to be some of the funnest, cleanest waves you'll find all week. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and lined up. Crowds are only sometimes here, so you might even get a few sets to yourself.

After that, the swell slowly backs off, but the quality remains good in the mornings. Thursday the 10th of September is another call-out. A 4 ft SW swell with a 16-second period rolls in, and the combined energy is moderate at (933). The wind is calm and glassy in the morning, and then it swings cross-offshore in the afternoon from the W. That's a clean, open face for you to carve on. The 4 ft is still a nice size for a beginner spot, and with that long period, it’ll hold up well.

The second week drops off in size. From around the 13th onwards, the swell drops below 3 ft, and the energy readings dip into the moderate range at (326 - 796). The period stays long, often over 15 seconds, which is great for the shape, but smaller. The mornings continue to offer glassy conditions, making it a good time for a longboard or a funboard. The 16th of September has a 3 ft southerly swell, glassy, and a strong energy reading of (796), making it a solid pick for a small-wave session. The 17th and 19th also have clean, glassy mornings with 4 ft and 3 ft respectively, and the combined energy is there.

There are no real gaps in the surf; it’s consistent. But the biggest, cleanest, most exciting windows are those first few days. Don't sleep on the 6th if you can get out.

Alright, that's the story from the water. Stay stoked.
