The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here with the outlook for our little corner of the coast.

Alright, so we’ve got a long stretch ahead, and it’s a bit of a slow burner. The water is cooking, 89° – that’s way warmer than normal for this time of year, seriously warm, like bathwater. The first few days are there but nothing to get too worked up about. We’ve got some small, clean windows, especially on the mornings, but the swell is small.

Let’s kick things off on Sunday, August 16th. It’s a write-off, honestly. Wind is cross-on, the surf is marginal. But Monday the 17th? That’s where we start seeing a bit of life. Quimixto (Mexico) is looking tidy on Monday morning. With the glassy conditions and a clean 4ft of SSW swell, it’s going to be smooth. The combined energy is moderate (567), and that 14-second period means it’s got some proper groundswell push. Early Monday is a good shout if you want a quiet, clean wave.

The pattern keeps going through the week – Tuesday and Wednesday both have glassy mornings with that same 4ft to 3ft SSW swell. The energy drops a touch mid-week, but the glass makes up for it. By Thursday and Friday, the swell drops off to 3ft and then 2ft, still clean in the mornings. It’s fun, small-wave stuff for a log or a fish.

Now, there’s a gap in the punch around the 22nd to 24th. The swell bottoms out a bit, but we get a couple of glassy sessions and a bit of a bump back up to 3ft on Sunday the 23rd. Not a standout, but a surf.

The *real* standout? You’re gonna want to circle Saturday, August 29th. That’s the one. The swell is pumping up to 5ft from the SSW, and the combined energy is cranking hard (968). That’s some proper grunt. On top of that, the wind goes cross-off in the afternoon, cleaning it right up. This is gonna be the best day on offer. It’s a solid head-high with good shape from that 16-second period. Not for beginners – over 5ft gets punchy – but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the session to plan for. Sunday the 30th morning looks good too with glass and 4ft swell. It stays fun right through to Monday the 31st.

A quick word on the beach setup here: when the swell gets solid and the wind is messy, this can look more like a kitesurfer’s paradise than a paddler’s. But the good windows, especially the 29th, are pure surf.

The bottom line: The mornings are the ticket all through – glassy and clean. Don’t sleep on Saturday the 29th afternoon – that’s the best of the whole outlook.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
