Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.

It’s not an instant classic, but there’s a solid run of clean surf on the horizon for Quimixto. The first few days are a bit mixed, but the real star of the show is that Thursday morning (September 3rd) – we’ve got a proper, long-period groundswell rolling in. That’s your best bet.

Thursday morning (September 3rd) is a standout. We’re looking at a 4ft swell from the SW, with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 1495, which is strong. But the best part? Dead calm, glassy conditions with an easterly wind at 0 mph. It’s going to be clean, powerful, and lined up. This is a reef break, so that long period will wrap in beautifully. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with that energy, it’s best for the crew with some experience. Water temp is about average for this time of year. Expect crowds to pop up sometimes, which is worth knowing.

Thursday afternoon clouds over with a risk of thunderstorms and a light cross-onshore breeze, so the quality drops. Still, that 5ft SW swell is there with 1530 energy, but it’s not as clean.

Friday (September 4th) sees the swell bumping up to 6ft from the SSW, but it’s a bit of a messy picture. The wind is light cross-onshore through the morning, so the surface will have a few ripples. Period drops to 16 seconds, which is still long, but the energy is solid (1822). It’s surfable, but not the cleanest.

Saturday (September 5th) is similar – 5ft SSW swell, but the wind stays cross-onshore, and afternoon storms are likely. It’s a bit of a wait-and-see day.

Sunday (September 6th) is a nice return to form. The morning is cloudy with a glassy, calm easterly wind. Swell eases to 5ft from the SSW, with a 15-second period and 1226 energy. The afternoon stays glassy with a light westerly. This is a really good, clean window.

Monday (September 7th) keeps the glassy theme in the morning, with a 4ft SSW swell and 14-second period. That’s smooth, clean, and fun.

From Tuesday (September 8th) through Saturday (September 12th), the swell slowly drops from 3ft down to 3ft, but the mornings are glassy or very light wind. The energy drops to the 400-700 range, which is moderate. It’s small wave fun, but the quality is there on the glassy mornings.

Sunday (September 13th) is tiny – 2ft in the afternoon with a 19-second period? That’s all period and no push. The mornings are a bit better with 3ft, but it’s marginal.

Monday (September 14th) morning shows a little life again with a 3ft SW swell, 18-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is 509, and the forecast says good surf. That’s a nice little surprise.

Tuesday (September 15th) is another good, small day with glassy conditions both morning and afternoon. 3ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and clean. The energy is modest (508-571), but for a paddle-out, it’s fine.

Wednesday (September 16th) morning is a quiet, glassy gem. 4ft SSW swell with 15-second period and 697 energy. Calm wind. That’s a winner.

Thursday (September 17th) morning is a real standout. We’ve got a 2ft SW swell, but the period is a massive 22 seconds. That’s rare. The combined energy is 931, which is strong for the size. And it’s dead calm, glassy. On a reef, this will be a beautiful, long-period groundswell that humps up and gives you a proper ride. This is a real treat for the experienced crew.

Friday (September 18th) morning wraps things up with a 3ft SW swell, 20-second period, and glassy conditions again. Energy is 1040 – strong. That’s a clean, powerful finish to the forecast.

The first week has a few gaps of messy afternoons, but the mornings are consistently good. The second week is smaller but the quality is higher on the glassy days. The 17th and 18th are the real long-range standouts, though they’re a bit further out, so keep an eye on the forecast.

Stay safe, surf smart.
