The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got one spot on the menu: Quimixto. This is a consistent reef break that’s fairly exposed to the south-west swell, so it’s got that going for it. The water’s sitting at a very warm 89°, a good couple degrees warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in boardshorts.
The best of the whole outlook lands on Thursday the 3rd of September. We’ve got a solid 4ft swell rolling in from the SW, with a period of 18 seconds. That’s proper long-period groundswell, meaning it’ll wrap in with plenty of power and shape. But the real kicker? The wind turns glassy from the east at just 3 mph in the morning. That’s absolute perfection – clean, smooth faces for that reef. The energy is strong (1503). This is the one to circle. If you can only get out once, make it Thursday morning.
Before that, on Wednesday the 2nd, we’ve got a bigger 8ft swell from the SSW, but with a risk of thunderstorms and onshore, cross-off wind from the west at 9 mph. That’s a lot of water moving – strong energy (1953) – but it’ll be a bit of a battle and is really only for experienced surfers.
Through the rest of the first week and into the second, the surf settles down. We get a run of smaller, cleaner windows – especially on Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th with glassy mornings and 3ft to 4ft swell. Consistent, clean, and perfect for a beginner to intermediate session. The mornings from the 9th to the 11th stay clean with glassy conditions and 3ft to 4ft swell.
By the second week, from around the 12th onwards, the size drops off. We’re seeing a lot of 2ft to 3ft days, but the good news is there are still plenty of glassy mornings, especially on the 14th, 15th, and 16th. The energy drops to two-digit values (321-643), so it’s weaker, but the clean conditions will still make it fun on a log or a fish. The afternoon storms and cross-onshore wind are a bit of a buzzkill, but the mornings are where it’s at.
Overall, it’s not a blockbuster two weeks, but there’s a real standout on the 3rd, and plenty of smaller, clean sessions to keep you wet.

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.
