Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in from the coast. Let's take a look at what we've got cookin' for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow burner, but there are some real gems to get excited about.

We kick off on Monday the 6th with some small, weak swell from the SSW, but there's a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore breeze makin' things a bit messy. The water is a warm 88° which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, a real treat.

The first real standout comes early on Tuesday the 7th. We're talkin' Quimixto reef with a clean 4ft SSW swell at 18 seconds. That's a proper long-period groundswell, and the wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm. It's the best conditions for the whole first week. The combined wave energy is pumpin' at 1567, so there's plenty of grunt. The only word of warning is a long-period swell like this can break a bit straight on a beach, but on a reef setup like this, it'll be lined up and beautiful. This is the pick of the first few days, and it's a beginner-friendly break so the crowd could be there occasionally.

Wednesday and Thursday maintain that nice glassy vibe with 5ft and 5ft SSW swell, but the period drops from 16 down to 15 seconds. Still clean, still fun, but not quite the same punch as Tuesday morning.

The tail end of the first week and into the second sees the swell dropping off and the wind turnin' onshore and messy. From Friday the 10th through to Monday the 13th, it's a lot of cross-onshore and onshore wind with swell under 4ft. It's a bit of a grovel, and the wave energy drops to around 500-800. Not a lot worth paddlin' out for.

We get a bit of a reset from the 14th to the 15th with some small waist-high swell and clean glassy mornings again, but it's small—around 2ft to 3ft. Nice for a log or a foamy.

Then it turns on. Thursday the 16th morning, we get a jump to a solid 7ft S swell with a period of 13 seconds and perfect glassy conditions. The energy jumps to 1634, and it's rated for experienced surfers. That's a big, powerful swell, and that reef at Quimixto is gonna be fire.

But the true standout of the entire forecast window is Friday the 17th. Holy mackerel. We've got an 8ft SSW swell (optimum direction for this spot) with a 12-second period, and it's glassy in the morning with zero wind. The combined energy is a massive 2666. This is expert territory only—too big and powerful for the average punter. It's the best combination of size, direction, and conditions of the whole run. The afternoon cleans up with a light cross-offshore wind too.

The weekend of the 19th and 20th settles back down to a fun, manageable 3ft to 4ft from the SW with glassy mornings. A nice way to wrap things up if this big swell is too much for ya.

There’s a noticeable gap from the 21st onward with small, weak, and rainy conditions. The forecast certainty for those last few days is lower, so don't write 'em off completely.

So, for the best surf: get on Tuesday the 7th morning for clean, long-period waves and great water temp. But if you've got the skills, Friday the 17th is the absolute king—big, powerful, and perfect. Don't miss it.

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.

Quimixto is 21 km (13 miles) from Puerto Vallarta. If you plan a holiday in Jalisco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Puerto Vallarta. Puerto Vallarta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
