Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell you how it’s looking for Quimixto.

Straight up, there’s some solid swell on the way, but you’ve gotta pick your moments. The water is pushing 89°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll feel like you’re surfing in a bath.

The first few days are a bit of a tease. Monday the 24th has some 4ft SSW swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is cross-on and the energy is moderate (724). It’s not terrible, but it’s not great either. Tuesday morning the 25th turns glassy with clean 2ft SW swell from a long 16-second period, but honestly, it’s small and the energy is weak (368). You could get a fun little glide if you’re on a log.

Wednesday and Thursday are nothing to write home about – small, messy, cross-on wind. But hold on, because Friday the 28th morning is where things start to get interesting. The wind goes cross-off, the swell jumps to 3ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and the energy bumps up to 800 (moderate). It’s clean, and it’s a sign of things to come.

Now, the standout. Saturday the 29th morning is your pick of the first week. That 5ft SSW swell (16s period) hits with strong energy (1274) and the wind goes glassy. That’s clean, lined-up surf. It’s getting a bit thumping for beginners but a solid intermediate will love it. The same vibe carries into Sunday the 30th morning – 4ft SSW, glassy, energy in the 800s.

If you can wait, the second week has a real gem. Thursday the 3rd afternoon brings a 5ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period, clean cross-off wind, and strong energy (1315). This is excellent for the reef setup here. But the true standout of the whole forecast is Friday the 4th morning and afternoon. 5ft to 6ft SSW swell, long 16-second period, glassy in the morning and clean cross-off in the afternoon, with energy readings of 1540 and 1525 (very strong). This is excellent for experienced surfers – powerful, clean, and the kind of day you call in sick for.

There is a gap of a few days in mid-week (Monday 1st to Wednesday 2nd) where it’s small but glassy, so if you’re desperate you’ll get a wave, but the real meat is on those weekends. Also, that long-period swell on the 7th and 8th (21 and 19 seconds) is massive energy but those long gaps will make it a bit straight on the reef – still, for the experienced crew, that’s an incredible session.

A few of those glassy mornings are also uncrowded opportunities, so get out early.
