The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Same story, just in feet and Fahrenheit.
We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, starting small but with some real glassy mornings you’ll want to clear your calendar for. The water’s running hot – way above average for September, so the wetsuit’s staying in the truck.
Main deal is a consistent pulse of SSW groundswell, mostly waist to chest-high, with long periods around 16 to 18 seconds. That means groomed lines at the reef. Combined wave energy sits between 543 and 1029 – that’s moderate to moderate-strong, so there’s grunt in the water even when it’s not huge.
Monday the 14th kicks off with about 3ft of SW swell at 18 seconds, but the wind is light cross-shore – rideable, not special. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th nudge up to around 4ft but stay in cross to cross-on breezes.
The Friday the 18th morning is where it gets good. Swell drops to 3ft but the period goes up to 19 seconds, and it’s glassy flat calm. 849 combined energy, so there’s plenty of push for a reef that size. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th mornings are also glassy, with similar waist-high, long-period lines. Sunday morning the wind is zero. Can’t get cleaner.
The absolute standout is Monday the 21st morning. 4ft of SW swell, 17 seconds, glassy, and combined energy hits 1029 – the highest of the whole run. That’s your session. Tuesday the 22nd morning is another glassy 4ft day, and you won’t be complaining.
From Wednesday the 23rd, wind gets messier and the swell period drops, but there are still small clean windows on the 28th and 29th, around 3ft, better for a longboard.
No real flat spells. The top pick is Monday the 21st morning at Quimixto (Mexico): 4ft, long-period SW, glassy, bathtub warm. Get it.
Rusty.

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.
