Quimixto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Quimixto. This is a reef break that’s consistent and works best on a WSW swell, and it’s set to deliver some real gems over the next couple of weeks.

The water is a balmy 88°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll be surfing in a bath, no wetsuit needed.

We kick things off with a bit of a tease. Sunday the 19th has a glassy 2ft SW groundswell (18-second period) with that lovely warm water, and the combined energy is moderate (747). It’s a nice start, but the real standout is going to be later. The next few days are mostly marginal with cross-onshore winds and small, short-period swell, so don’t expect much from Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 23rd.

Thursday the 24th morning is where it starts to get interesting. We’ve got a glassy 3ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a very long 24-second period, and the energy is solid (863). The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean. This is a proper, long-period groundswell that will wrap into the reef beautifully.

The top pick, without a doubt, is the morning of Saturday the 26th of July. The wind is absolutely dead calm – glassy as it gets. The swell is a clean 5ft from the SSW with an 18-second period, and the combined energy is strong (1581). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The long period means it will be powerful and lined up, and with the reef bottom, it’ll hold its shape perfectly. This is the session to circle on the calendar.

Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th keep the goods coming. Monday morning the 28th sees another glassy, calm morning with a 6ft SSW swell (17-second period) and a massive 2255 energy reading. That’s a serious, powerful swell. Anything over 5ft is getting big for beginners, and at 6ft, this is one for the experienced crew only. The afternoon of the 28th stays glassy with the same size swell, so there’s a full day of high-quality waves there.

The following week settles down a bit. The 29th and 30th still have some fun glassy mornings, but the swell drops to 4ft to 6ft, and the energy backs off. The first of August and the 2nd are small and weak, with mostly cross-onshore winds – not much to write home about. The 3rd of August has a small, glassy 2ft SW swell with a long 18-second period, which could be a nice little morning session for a longboard, but it’s nothing compared to the main event.

So, the clear winner is the morning of Saturday the 26th of July, with the 28th of July as a close second. Get on it.

Rusty.
