The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, starting this Tuesday the 25th of August. The water is sitting at 89°F – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be in for a warm one. The standout here is definitely Quimixto, a reef break that’s consistent and works best with a swell from the WSW. Right now, the combined swell energy is moderate at 377, and it’s a long-period groundswell of 16 seconds, so expect some real push and shape.

Tuesday morning kicks off with a small 2ft SW swell, glassy conditions, and a light north wind. It’s tiny, but clean. The afternoon picks up slightly to 2ft, still glassy, with a calm wind. By Wednesday morning, the swell nudges up to 3ft, wind is offshore from the NNE, but the surf is only marginal due to questionable tide. Wednesday afternoon goes cross-on and the quality drops.

Thursday morning the 27th is a beauty – 3ft SW swell, glassy, with a light NNE breeze. The energy is moderate (547). Thursday afternoon gets a bit lumpy with cross-on wind. Friday morning the 28th is the first real standout. Glassy, calm, with a 3ft SSW swell running at 16 seconds. The energy is strong (750), and it’s expected to be very good. This is the one to aim for if you want clean, fun waves.

Friday afternoon, the swell jumps to 5ft, but the wind goes cross-on, making it messy. Saturday and Sunday sees the swell holding around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind stays cross-on, so conditions are only marginal. The energy is high (over 1300 on Saturday morning), but the quality isn’t there for paddle surfing – if you’re into kiting, the beach setup might be more interesting.

Monday the 31st brings a drop back to 3ft with glassy conditions again in the morning. A good chance for a clean session. Tuesday the 1st of September is another glassy morning with a 3ft SSW swell, calm wind, and the energy is moderate (460). The afternoon sees a clean cross-off breeze.

Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon is a standout. Glassy conditions, a 3ft SSW swell, but the period jumps to 16 seconds, and the energy is solid (682). Very good surf expected. Then Thursday the 3rd of September morning is another winner – 4ft SW swell, long 17-second period, glassy, with strong energy (1059). Very good surf.

Friday the 4th of September morning is the best on offer for the whole period. 5ft SSW swell, 17-second period, glassy, with a very strong energy reading of 1482. This is excellent for experienced surfers – it’s a bit big for beginners. Saturday the 5th morning is also glassy with 5ft, and Sunday the 6th morning has 5ft with glassy conditions. The second week keeps the quality up with consistent glassy mornings and clean afternoons, though the swell slowly drops back under 5ft.

If you’re a beginner, stick to the smaller days around 2ft to 3ft. For the bigger days over 5ft, this is for the experienced crew only. Crowds are possible at Quimixto, so get there early for the best of 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.

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.
