The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for our little slice of paradise.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag with some stormy weather and bumpy conditions, so don’t get too excited just yet. The water is sitting at a warm 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bathtub out there.
The first real chance to get a wave comes on Saturday morning, August 1st. It’s not huge, with swell around 3ft from the SSW, but it’s glassy. The wind is dead calm, and that’s a major positive. The wave energy is moderate (321), and while it’s small, it’ll be clean. This is a good one for the beginners on a longboard out at Quimixto (a consistent reef break). Crowds are possible here, so you might have some company.
The surf will be a bit on and off after that, dropping right down to 1ft to 2ft through the week with some glassy mornings but not much push. The energy gets weak, dipping into the 100s and 200s. It’s surfable but very ordinary.
Now, here’s the real standout. Keep your eyes on Friday morning, August 7th and Saturday morning, August 8th. The swell from the SSW builds back to 3ft to 4ft, and the period stretches out to 16 to 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy jumps to 684 and then 852 (moderate to strong), which means there’s some real push behind it. But the wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm on both mornings. This is the pick of the entire forecast. This break is a reef setup, so that long-period swell will wrap in beautifully. Saturday morning, the 8th, looks like the absolute best of the bunch with 4ft of SSW swell, glassy conditions, and a solid 16-second period. It’s still within the beginner-friendly range, but the quality will be there.
After that, the swell hangs around the 3ft to 4ft mark through the weekend and into the following week. Sunday morning, August 9th, is glassy again with a 14-second period, and Monday morning, August 10th, stays clean. The longer-range outlook for the second week sees the swell stick around with some solid pulses, but the afternoons tend to get a bit bumpy with cross-onshore winds.
Overall, the best bet is the glassy mornings from August 7th through to the 10th, with Saturday August 8th being the absolute standout. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.

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.
