The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, let's talk about what's shaping up for our little corner of the coast.

First up, the water's a touch warmer than normal at 89°, which is a nice bonus for the start of the run.

We've got a bit of a slow start, but don't let that fool you. Things kick off properly on Thursday the 27th with a glassy morning session at Quimixto. The swell is a clean 3ft from the SW with a long 15-second period, giving you that groundswell energy. The wave energy is moderate, sitting at 562. That glassy wind is a major plus, meaning the reef will be butter-smooth. Friday morning the 28th is even better, with a 3ft SW swell, 16-second period, and glassy conditions again. The energy climbs to 750, and the forecast is for very good surf. This is a solid, consistent reef break, so you'll get your waves.

The real standout, though, is Friday morning, September 4th. The swell is 5ft from the SW, period of 17 seconds, and the wave energy is a strong 1679. The wind is dead calm, glassy, and the forecast is for excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The swell direction matches the optimum (WSW), and with that long period, this point/reef setup will be handling it beautifully. Crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might have some company, but it'll be worth it for the quality. This is the pick of the whole 16 days, but remember, it's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.

After that, the energy drops a bit, but we still have some good windows. Mornings generally offer the best conditions with glassy winds. The waves stay in the 3ft to 5ft range with SW groundswell through the first week of September. There's a gap in quality around the 6th and 7th with risk of thunderstorms and onshore winds, but by the 8th, we're back to a glassy morning with a long 18-second period, though the size is down to 2ft.

The 10th of September morning also looks good, with a 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and glassy conditions, so keep that in mind for the tail end.

Overall, Quimixto is a consistent reef break that offers clean waves when the wind plays ball. The long-period swells will be better here than at a beach break. Grab a morning session and you'll be smiling.

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.
