Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a proper look at the next 16 days. Quimixto is the only spot on the table. It’s a beginner-friendly reef break here, fairly exposed to the open swell window from the WSW direction, and it is consistent. The water is running at a warm 89°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—over two degrees above average, so you’re in for a proper tropical bath.

The week starts off a bit sluggish. Saturday morning is a write-off: small 3ft SW swell with a light cross-onshore breeze and weak energy (392). Poor conditions. The afternoon doesn’t get any better. Things look up Sunday morning the 13th: the wind drops to glassy, swell is 3ft from the SW, period 13 seconds, and energy is moderate (313). It’s small but clean. That sets the tone for a run of glassy mornings.

Monday morning the 14th is another glassy one, 2ft SW, period 18 seconds. That longer period gives the waves more shape, and with no wind it’ll be smooth. The energy is ramping up into the three-digit range (458). By Tuesday morning the 15th, we get a proper jump: 4ft from the SSW, 16-second period, glassy, and combined energy is strong at 719. That’s a standout morning. The wave quality is very good, and the wind is perfect. This is the best of the first week.

Wednesday morning the 16th holds similar magic: 4ft SSW, 16 seconds, glassy, energy at 945. Properly punchy but still within a fun size. The afternoons get a bit cross-onshore and messy, so mornings are the key.

Thursday (17th) is marginal with cross-onshore winds, but Friday morning the 18th comes back clean: 3ft SW, 19-second period, glassy, and energy still strong at 857. The weekend of the 19th and 20th continues the trend—Saturday the 19th has glassy conditions both morning and afternoon, 3ft SW, long period of 18 seconds, and energy in the 700s. Sunday morning the 20th hits a highlight with absolutely flat calm (0 mph wind), 4ft SW swell, 19-second period, and combined energy of 1083. That’s the pick of the entire outlook: glassy, clean, solid energy from a long, clean groundswell. For a reef like Quimixto, that’s a treat.

The second week gets a little more mixed. Monday the 21st has a solid 4ft SW swell at 17 seconds, but mornings and afternoons are cross-onshore, so it won’t be as clean. Energy is well over 1000 though, so plenty of push. Tuesday the 22nd morning returns to glassy, 4ft SW, 16 seconds, energy 816—another very good session. Wednesday to Friday mornings still offer clean windows with swells around 3ft to 4ft SW, and periods dropping back to 12-14 seconds. Energy drops into the 300s and 400s, so less grunt, but still surfable. The last Sunday the 27th has a glassy morning with 2ft SW and a nice 16-second period, though energy is moderate at 481.

Overall, there are no massive waves—nothing over 5ft—so it’s all beginner-friendly to intermediate territory. The standout mornings are Tuesday 15th, Wednesday 16th, and Sunday 20th for the cleanest, most powerful conditions. Don’t sleep on those glassy windows.
