The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our stretch of coast.

The next couple of weeks are looking pretty promising, with a consistent run of swell from the SSW and SW. The water is sitting at 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.

We’ve got a standout window starting Monday the 7th afternoon. The wind goes glassy, dropping to 3 mph, and we’ve got a clean 4ft SSW swell with a 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate (745). That’s a real treat for an afternoon session – the reef at Quimixto will be smooth and inviting.

The real highlight, though, looks to be Thursday the 10th morning. The wind is calm, dead glass, and the swell pushes up to 4ft from the SW with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a solid 917, which is on the higher side of moderate. That’s the kind of morning you set your alarm for. The reef will be handling that long-period groundswell beautifully, and with no wind, it’ll be as clean as it gets.

Keep an eye on Wednesday the 9th afternoon too. Another glassy session, 3ft SW swell with a 17-second period (very long period), and the energy is 784. That’s a proper groundswell, so the waves will have plenty of push and shape, though the sets might be a little spaced out.

Later in the run, Friday the 18th morning is interesting. The wind swings offshore from the SSE at 6 mph, and we’ve got a 3ft SW swell with a 20-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is moderate (788), and those super-long-period waves will wrap around the reef beautifully. It’s a promising call for a clean, lined-up session, but it’s a longer-range call, so keep your fingers crossed.

There are a few afternoons with cross-onshore winds and some risk of thunderstorms, but the mornings are generally the better bet here. The surf is never too big, staying between 2ft and 4ft, so it’s manageable for a range of abilities. If you’re a beginner, the bigger days over 3ft might be a little challenging, but it’s nothing too heavy.

Overall, Thursday the 10th morning is the one to circle. Get out there.

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.
