Let me tell you how it's looking for Quimixto. The only game in town for the whole 16-day run is this reef break, and it’s got a classic mix of patience and reward. The water is sitting at 31° and that’s a solid 3° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s proper bathwater out there.

The first few days are a bit shaky. Monday the 6th is messy with a light cross-onshore wind and only 1.2m of SSW swell, but the period is a very long 16 seconds (combined energy of 1325). It’s a marginal call, so don't get too excited. The tide is likely messing with it.

The real standout is Tuesday morning the 7th. We get a glassy morning, a nice 1.3m SSW swell with an 18-second period (combined energy of 1561). That’s proper groundswell energy, and it’s going to be glassy. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a cross wind, but that morning session is the pick of the first week.

Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th keep the glassy vibes going in the mornings, with the swell dropping slowly from 1.6m to 1.4m. The period is still a long 16 seconds. It’s fun, clean, and consistent, but not as powerful as Tuesday.

The following weekend (the 11th and 12th) sees the swell dip to around 1.2m and the winds turn more onshore, so it gets a bit scrappy. The energy drops off too, down to between 557 and 811. It’s a flat spell.

We have a quiet few days from the 13th to the 15th, with the swell dropping to under 1.0m. The mornings are glassy, but there’s just not enough push for a proper wave.

Then, hold onto your board. Thursday the 16th is the big one. The morning session shows a massive 4.0m S swell, with a combined energy of 5582, and it’s glassy. That’s expert territory, no question. The swell is 4.5m in the afternoon, but it goes cross-onshore. That morning is a heavy, heavy session for the brave.

After that spike, it settles back down. Friday the 17th brings a 1.8m S swell with a shorter 9-second period, meaning a bit less shape and a little more chop. The winds are good, though. From the 18th onward, the swell settles into the 0.6m to 1.2m range, with long-period SW groundswell and mostly good winds. The 21st is a nice note to end on, with glassy conditions and a 1.1m SW swell (combined energy of 1648) that will give you clean, long lines.

Overall, the best on offer is Tuesday the 7th morning for the quality, and Thursday the 16th morning for the sheer power. The long gap with no real standout is mainly the 11th through the 15th. It’s a classic reef setup, so those long-period swells will wrap in nicely.

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.
