Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Quimixto’s got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a slow start, no doubt. The first few days are a bit of a tease. That SSW swell is there, around 4ft, but the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the forecast keeps calling it marginal. The water is sitting at 88° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.

Come Monday the 13th though, things start to clean up. That morning we get glassy conditions with a 4ft SSW swell and a long period of 14 seconds (moderate combined wave energy of 516). That’s a proper groundswell – better shape, more energy – and it being a reef break, it should hold nicely. The afternoon stays glassy with a 3ft SSW swell (energy 646). Tuesday the 14th holds that glass, dropping to 3ft in the morning (464 energy), but the afternoon turns cross-off with a longer period 18 second swell out of the SW at 3ft (622 energy). Clean waves. Not big, but quality.

Now, if you can hold out, the real standout is Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th. Sunday morning we’ve got glass with a 4ft SW groundswell, period a very long 17 seconds, and energy at 926. That’s strong, punchy. The afternoon goes offshore with a 3ft SW swell (838 energy). Monday the 20th stays glassy all day, with a 4ft to 4ft SW swell, period 16 seconds, and energy climbing from 876 to 937. These two days are the best on offer. The reef setup at Quimixto loves this angle. Remember it can be crowded sometimes.

Tuesday the 21st morning still looks good – glassy, 4ft SW, period 15 seconds, energy hitting 1048 – but the afternoon gets tricky with a cross-shore wind and a bigger 6ft S swell that might get a bit messy.

By Wednesday the 23rd we see a solid 8ft SSW swell rolling in, but the wind is cross-on and it’s pushing energy up to 1753 and 1830. This is expert territory now – too big for most. The reef might handle it but the chop will be a factor. Thursday the 24th stays big at over 7ft but with onshore wind, so expect lumpy, unruly sets.

After that, Saturday the 25th morning brings a glassy 6ft WSW swell (energy 851). Clean again, but those afternoon cross-shore winds come back.

Overall, the first week is a bit of a slow burn. The second week has more size but also more wind issues. The best windows are Monday the 13th through Tuesday the 14th, and then the absolute pick is Sunday the 19th through Monday the 20th.

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.
