Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks. The ocean’s got a pulse, but it’s not going to be non-stop barrels. We’ve got a solid stretch of surf on the cards, with the early mornings definitely the go-to. The winds are set to stay light, and we’ve got some nice, long-period southwest groundswell pushing in. It’s a classic setup for the reef here.

We’ll kick things off right away. Thursday the 10th is looking like a treat. First light at Quimixto, we’ve got clean 4ft waves from the southwest, with a 16-second period. The energy is moderate, sitting around 881. The wind is dead glassy, so it’s going to be smooth and lined-up. The afternoon stays glassy too, with the same swell, so you could have a long session.

Friday morning the 11th still has nice glassy conditions, with 4ft of the same southwest groundswell. It's a bit smaller but still clean. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-on breeze, making things less perfect, but there will still be waves.

The weekend sees the swell ease off a little. Saturday morning the 12th is still worth a paddle though – 3ft and glassy, and the long period keeps it fun on the reef. Sunday morning the 13th remains clean but dropping into the 3ft range. The afternoon brings a little pulse of long-period energy (19 seconds), but it's small, coming in at 2ft.

There’s a bit of a lull in quality from Monday the 14th through Tuesday the 15th as a light cross-on breeze messes with the surface a touch, but there are still waves in the 2ft to 4ft range.

The next real standout window is Wednesday morning the 16th. We’ve got 4ft of SSW swell, and it’s glassy again. The energy is solid, hitting 935. It’s going to be clean and powerful on the reef. Thursday the 17th morning looks really good too, with another 4ft of SSW swell and completely clean, glassy conditions.

After that, we get a string of consistent, glassy mornings. Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th both have clean 3ft to 3ft surf with long, 18-19 second periods for shape. It’s not huge, but it will be fun. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st see the swell push back up to 4ft to 4ft, but the mornings will be a bit more crossed up, so you’ll have to pick your banks.

Looking further ahead, into the second week, we’ve got another promising window around Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd. We’re looking at more 4ft to 4ft southwest swell. The mornings are looking clean and glassy. It’s further out, so a bit less certain, but it has that same good energy to it.

Overall, the early mornings are your friend. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a light spring suit will do. The crowds can pop up here sometimes, but the quality on offer should be worth sharing it for. The biggest and cleanest days are Thursday the 10th, Wednesday the 16th, and Thursday the 17th. Those are your standouts.

Alright, I’m out. Get on it.
