Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks.

The overall pattern is a solid, consistent run of manageable SSW and SW groundswells, with a real standout window in the second week. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so a shorty or a spring suit will be fine.

We kick off Friday morning, August 7th, with a glassy 3 ft SSW swell at 18 seconds at Quimixto. That’s a long-period groundswell, so expect nice, lined-up waves off the reef, but with those long gaps between sets. The combined energy is moderate at 694, and with the wind dead calm, it’s going to be clean. The afternoons get a bit dicey with a cross-shore breeze and a risk of thunderstorms, so make the most of the mornings.

Saturday the 8th is another strong morning call: 4 ft of SSW swell, 16 seconds, and a clean offshore breeze. This is a great window for a beginner-friendly spot like Quimixto, where the consistency is reliable. The swell is just under 5 ft, so it’s a fun size without being too big.

Sunday the 9th through Monday the 10th keep the same tune: glassy mornings with 3 ft to 4 ft swell, periods dropping from 14 to 13 seconds, but still carrying enough punch. The combined energy stays in the moderate range (around 500-600), so it’s a good, cruisy run.

Now, the real standouts. Looking ahead to Friday, August 14th, we’ve got a very clean, glassy morning with 4 ft of SW swell at 18 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 1094. That’s a strong, powerful groundswell hitting the reef perfectly. The afternoon bumps up to 5 ft, but the wind shifts cross, so the morning is the absolute pick.

Saturday, August 15th follows that up with another killer morning: 5 ft of SW swell, 16 seconds, glassy conditions, and a combined energy of 1151. This is about the top end of the range for a beginner-friendly spot, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it’s going to be pumping. The consistent, offshore-friendly setup at Quimixto will be handling this beautifully.

There’s a small gap of a few days mid-week, but by Thursday, August 20th, the energy comes back strong with a 4 ft SSW swell at 15 seconds and a combined energy of 785, locked in under glassy conditions again. The morning of Friday, August 21st is also a gem: 4 ft, 14 seconds, dead calm, and very clean.

The best of the entire run has to be the mornings of August 14th and 15th. The swell is solid, the period is long, and the wind is non-existent. If you can get out there, that’s the time to score.

Stay safe, and keep an eye on those afternoon thunderstorms.
