The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. We’ve got a couple of weeks of surf ahead, so let’s break it all down.

The first few days are going to be a bit of a slow grind. We’ve got some knee-to-waist high swell pushing through, but the winds are mostly cross-onshore, which is going to put a bit of wobble on the surface. The water here at Quimixto is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 88.3°, which is a bit of a treat. The wave energy is moderate, sitting in the low to mid 500s, so there’s a pulse out there, but nothing to get too excited about just yet. Sunday morning has some clean, glassy conditions with a light 3.6ft SSW swell, but by the afternoon the breeze swings around and chops it up. Monday looks similar, with some clean morning glass but a smaller, weaker swell. Tuesday and Wednesday are pretty forgettable – that cross-onshore wind is persistent and the energy drops off, so it’s a bit of a wait.

Now, here’s where things start to wake up. From Thursday the 13th, we see a shift. The morning has a touch of offshore wind, cleaning up that 3.3ft SW swell nicely. But the real story starts on Friday the 14th. The energy jumps to a strong 1094, and we get a 3.6ft SW groundswell with a long 18-second period and dead glass. This is the first real standout. The break will be working with some proper lines. The swell builds through Saturday the 15th, hitting 4.9ft with a 16-second period, and again we have that morning glass. This is the pick of the first week – clean, solid, and a proper push of energy with combined swell energy in the 1100s. After that, the following week has some fun moments, but it’s a bit more inconsistent.

We’ve got the big one lurking at the end of the window, over a week away. Starting Sunday the 23rd, the swell really jacks up to a solid 8.2ft, but it’s stormy and crossed-up. The energy is very strong, with readings over 2500, but it’s not clean. However, Monday the 24th morning is the one to circle. The swell holds at 8.2ft from the SW with a 12-second period, the energy is still massive at 2446, and the winds go dead glass. This is a serious, expert-only session. The forecast is promising, but it’s a long way out, so we’ll keep an eye on it. It’s a reef setup, so the long-period energy will be better lined up here than at a beach break. This is the heavy stuff; don’t be taking the foamy out there. The crowd factor is a possibility at this spot, so be ready to share if you’re keen.

There’s a bit of a lull between the 20th and 22nd, with some smaller, cleaner morning surf, but it’s the big one that has my attention.

Alright, that's the picture. I'll be out there for the good ones.

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.
