The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Quimixto.

This spot is a consistent reef break, and it’s looking like a solid run of surf over the next couple of weeks. The water is sitting at a toasty 89°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a pretty wild anomaly, so you’re gonna be sweating in your wetsuit if you wear one.

The overall pattern starts quiet Thursday morning with some cross-on breeze and a 4ft SW swell, but the energy is already moderate with a combined swell energy of 885. Conditions are a little marginal to start.

Friday morning though, things clean up real nice. We’ve got 4ft of SW swell, a period of 15 seconds, and glassy conditions. That’s clean, lined-up reef waves for you. The combined energy is still moderate at 602. Saturday holds similar size but the wind goes cross-on, making it a bit messier.

Sunday the 13th is a beauty – morning session is glassy with 3ft, then the afternoon sees a super long-period 19-second groundswell at 2ft. That’s a long wait between sets, but the energy jumps to 486 and it’s glassy. That’s a point break style wave here, a real treat.

Monday the 14th morning is flat calm, 0 mph wind, glassy as a mirror, with 2ft from the SW and an 18-second period. Perfect for a quiet paddle.

Now, the real standout is Tuesday morning the 15th. Early, dead calm, glassy, with a building 4ft SSW swell at 16 seconds. Combined energy is 728 and climbing. That’s the pick of the first week – clean, juicy reef waves for the foam ball hunters.

We’ve got a gap in the top-tier stuff through the middle of the week, but Thursday morning the 17th comes back with 4ft SSW, glassy, and a combined energy of 887. That’s moderate-to-strong energy, and it’s looking very good.

Saturday the 19th is another gem: morning is glassy with 3ft SW, 18-second period, and 923 combined energy. Then the afternoon goes cross-offshore and clean. That’s a solid day.

Sunday the 20th morning is flat calm again, glassy, with 4ft SW and a 19-second period – combined energy is 1071, which is strong. That is a lot of water moving, but the long period means it’ll be fat and lined up at the reef, not too scary for a beginner-friendly spot like this.

Tuesday the 22nd morning has 4ft SW at 16 seconds, glassy, 892 combined energy. Then Wednesday the 23rd morning, another glassy 4ft SW. The pattern keeps delivering.

Thursday the 24th drops a bit to 4ft but stays glassy. And the run closes out with Friday the 25th: dead calm, glassy, 4ft SW, and a combined energy of 790. That’s a classic, clean finish.

The best of the whole window? I’d say Tuesday morning the 15th for the building swell, calm wind, and glassy surface. And if you want a session with real power and no crowd hassle, Sunday the 20th morning with that 19-second pulse and strong energy is a close second.

The break is consistent, so the surf keeps coming. Crowds are only *sometimes* a problem here, so you’ve got good odds of finding your own peak.

Stay stoked.

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.
