The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards for Quimixto, stretching right through the forecast period. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Right off the bat, Friday morning the 28th of August, we’re looking at clean, glassy 3ft waves from the SSW with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and with the combined energy sitting at a solid moderate level (799), it’s got some push. The wind is glassy from the NE, so conditions will be smooth. This is a reef break that’s consistent and fairly exposed to the swell, with the optimum direction from the WSW, so this SSW swell is working nicely. Crowds are possible here, so expect some company.
Saturday morning the 29th of August is a real standout. The swell jumps to 5ft, still from the SSW with that lovely 16-second period, and the combined energy is strong (1457). Winds are glassy again. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, but at 5ft it’s getting up there for beginners. The waves will have real power and shape on this reef.
Sunday the 30th sees a bit of a drop in quality with light cross-onshore winds, but the swell is still around 4-5ft and the period drops to 14 seconds. It’s still surfable, just not as clean.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September offer smaller, clean waves in the 3ft to 4ft range, with glassy conditions in the afternoons. Perfect for a fun, lower-key session.
Then we hit another sweet spot. Wednesday morning the 2nd of September is dead calm, glassy, with 3ft waves from the SW and a 16-second period. The combined energy is moderate (775), and the forecast is for very good conditions. The swell direction is a better match for the optimum WSW, so the waves will be lining up nicely.
Thursday the 3rd of September has a standout afternoon session. The swell pushes to 4ft from the SSW, a 17-second period, and the combined energy is strong (1287). With the wind going dead calm and glassy, this is going to be a special session. Very good surf.
The weekend of the 5th and 6th of September sees the swell holding around 5-5ft, but with more cross-onshore winds, it’s not as clean as the weekdays. Sunday morning the 6th has glassy conditions and a solid 4ft, so that’s the pick of the weekend.
The following week, from the 7th to the 12th of September, keeps the energy alive. Multiple mornings of glassy conditions with 3ft to 4ft swell from the SSW/SW, periods between 13 and 16 seconds. The combined energy stays moderate to strong. Lots of clean, fun waves on offer.
The real standouts in this whole run are Saturday morning the 29th of August, with that 5ft glassy groundswell, and Thursday afternoon the 3rd of September, with the 4ft, 17-second period and dead calm winds. That’s the one I’d be circling on the calendar.
Stay safe out there.

Information about the Quimixto Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Quimixto provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Quimixto can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Quimixto surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Quimixto) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Quimixto may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
