The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Quimixto. This reef break is the only show in town for the next couple of weeks, and it’s consistent, working best on a WSW swell. The first day is a bit of a washout, but there’s solid swell and clean windows ahead if you time it right.
Right now, Wednesday afternoon isn’t worth it—cross-on breeze, small weak waves. The water here is around 88°, running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Feels like a warm bath.
Thursday morning, August 6, shapes up nicely. Glassy conditions with 3ft of SSW swell, period around 13 seconds. Combined energy is 347—moderate and building. A clean, small-wave morning.
Friday morning, August 7, things start to get interesting. Swell hits 3ft from the SSW, period jumps to 18 seconds of proper groundswell, and it’s glassy. Combined energy hits 695—solid moderate punch. That’s a good window for a reef to handle those long-period lines.
Saturday morning, August 8, is another cracker. Glassy, 4ft from the SSW, 16 seconds, combined energy 880—moderate but meaty. Clean, well-shaped reef surf.
Sunday morning, August 9, stays clean with 4ft, glassy, period 14 seconds—still fun, but energy easing to 584.
Monday and Tuesday mornings, August 10 and 11, keep the glassy theme with 3ft and 3ft, periods 13 to 18 seconds. Reliable morning windows.
Friday morning, August 14, is the clear standout. Swell hits 4ft from the SSW, 18 seconds, glassy conditions. Combined energy jumps to 1387—strong wave energy. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The reef will be handling that long groundswell perfectly, with powerful, clean lines. Not for beginners at this size.
Saturday morning, August 15, holds at 5ft, 16 seconds, glassy, energy at 1055—still a very good session, but the peak is Friday.
From August 16 onward, swell stays around 3ft to 4ft, but afternoons get more cross-on. Mornings stay glassy through Tuesday, August 18, with energy dropping below 700. Still fun, less punch.
Thursday morning, August 20, offers one last clean window with 2ft from the SSW, 16 seconds, energy 530—fine for a small glassy session.
Best call: Friday morning, August 14, is the session to aim for. Second pick: Saturday morning, August 8. Expect some company at Quimixto, so get there early.

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.
