The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Quimixto’s got cooking.
We kick off Monday morning the 24th of August. Water temp is about average for this time of year. That first session is glassy with a clean 4ft SSW swell, period at 13 seconds. The waves will be smooth and friendly with the wind dead calm. The combined energy is moderate (724). Good for beginners.
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are smaller – Tuesday morning has a 2ft swell (391 energy) and Wednesday morning a 3ft (379). Wind stays light but tends to get side-onshore in the afternoons. Not the best.
Thursday morning the 27th is glassy with a 3ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and energy back up (520). Still on the small side. Then Friday the 28th morning is glassy with 3ft SSW, 16 seconds, 800 energy – very good. But Friday afternoon is the first real highlight: the swell hits 5ft from the SW, 17-second period, energy solid (1394), and the wind goes cross-offshore, keeping things clean. That’s a nice little bump.
Saturday and Sunday the 29th and 30th hold around 5ft to 6ft, but the wind turns side-onshore or cross, making the surface choppy. The period drops to around 14 seconds, energy stays up (1199–1429), but quality suffers.
The start of the second week gets quieter. Monday and Tuesday the 31st through 1st September see the swell drop under 3ft. Glassy mornings like Tuesday 1st (3ft, SSW, 453 energy) are okay for a longboard, but nothing special.
Then Wednesday morning the 2nd of September turns it around: glassy, 3ft SW at 16 seconds, energy 721 – very good. The standout, though, is Thursday the 3rd of September. Thursday morning has 4ft from the SW with a 19-second period, glassy wind, and energy jumps to 1416. That’s a proper groundswell with serious push. For a reef like Quimixto, that’s money. The afternoon holds at 5ft, 18 seconds, clean cross-off (1576 energy). This is the session for experienced surfers.
Friday the 4th of September morning pushes to 6ft SSW, 17 seconds, cross-off wind, and 2388 energy – excellent but getting big. That’s expert territory. Saturday the 5th has a glassy morning with 6ft, 16 seconds, 1747 energy.
The end of the run Sunday the 6th drops back: afternoon has 4ft SSW at 15 seconds with glassy wind (813 energy) – actually very good again. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th bring the biggest swell: Monday morning 6ft, glassy, and Tuesday morning 7ft, glassy, with energies over 1800. That’s heavy, expert-only, but the wind stays perfect.
Overall, the best session is Thursday the 3rd of September – that 19-second groundswell with glassy winds is the one to circle. Friday the 4th morning is a close second if you’re skilled up. Also, Monday the 24th morning for an easy, clean session.
Rusty out.

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.
