Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good look at what's coming our way for the next couple of weeks. We've got one spot lighting up the forecast and it’s looking like a proper run of waves.

Right from the get-go, Monday morning (September 14th), we’re on. Quimixto is a reef break, consistent, and it’s a beginner-friendly setup. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The swell energy is moderate at 458 and building. Monday morning brings clean 2 ft surf from the SW with a very long period of 18 seconds. That groundswell will be pushing in with glassy conditions and offshore wind—that’s a beautiful start. That afternoon, the swell bumps up to 3 ft, still with that long 18-second period, and the wind goes light cross-off, keeping things clean.

Tuesday (September 15th) is honestly the standout of this whole outlook. Tuesday morning we see the swell jumping to 4 ft from the SSW with a period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is climbing to 722. And the wind? Dead calm. Absolute glass. That's as good as it gets for clean conditions. Tuesday afternoon holds at 4 ft, period extends to 17 seconds, energy hits 875, and it stays glassy. That's two full days of quality, lined-up reef waves with zero wind.

Wednesday (September 16th) morning keeps the good vibes going with 4 ft swell (SSW, 16 sec) and glassy conditions—energy is up at 945. This is your call to get out there early, because by Wednesday afternoon the wind swings cross-onshore and the quality drops. Thursday and Friday see the wind staying a bit tricky, but the swell hangs around in the 4 ft to 4 ft range.

We get a bit of a reset heading into Friday (September 18th) morning: glassy again, 3 ft of SW swell with a very long 19-second period. The energy reading is 814. That’s clean, but the lighter swell will make it a more mellow session. Saturday (19th) and Sunday (20th) mornings are also showing glass with 3 ft to 4 ft waves, and Sunday morning is completely calm—dead flat wind. Those mornings will be your ticket if you missed the early week peak.

Looking into the second week, the pattern stays active but a little more inconsistent. Monday (September 21st) morning is looking promising with 4 ft from the SW, period 17 seconds, and big energy of 1040. Glassy again. But the afternoons get choppy. By Wednesday (23rd) and Thursday (24th), the swell drops back to 3 ft–4 ft with a shorter period of 14–15 seconds, and while the mornings stay clean, it’s not as punchy.

We finish the forecast period with a nice little uptick. Tuesday morning (September 29th) brings 3 ft of SW swell with an 18-second period and glassy conditions—energy is 671. That's a promising note to end on, but it's still a couple weeks out, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week are the absolute best on offer. Solid chest-to-shoulder high waves, long period groundswell, and glassy conditions. If you can paddle out Tuesday morning, that’s the session.

Rusty.
