The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. We’re working with Quimixto here—a reef break that’s consistent and friendly for beginners, but can hold a lot more when the swell shows up.
Right now, through the start, Sunday the 30th to Tuesday the 1st, we’ve got small SSW swell—around 4 to 5 feet dropping to 3 feet. Wave energy is moderate (972 to 405). Winds are mixed: cross-off mornings, but light cross-onshore ripples in the afternoons. It’s surfable, not special. Early Sunday looks the cleanest.
Then Wednesday the 2nd morning turns it up. Swell hits 7 feet from the SSW, 11-second period, glassy. That’s a solid, clean wave with strong energy (1530). It might be a bit much for true beginners, but for everyone else, that’s your first real standout. Afternoon goes cross-shore and smaller.
But the big one lands on Thursday the 10th. Thursday morning: 10 feet from the south, 13-second period, glassy as glass, with massive energy (3244). This is expert-only territory—powerful groundswell, long waits between sets. That’s the session to plan around. The afternoon is even bigger (12 feet) but picks up a cross-shore breeze.
Friday the 11th holds the size—10 feet early from the SSW, glassy, energy over 2500. That morning is excellent. The afternoon drops to 8 feet but gets cross-onshore.
Saturday the 12th is another great morning with 7 feet from the west, glassy, energy over 2100. Beautiful.
Into the second week, Sunday the 13th gives us chest-to-head high WNW swell, clean in the morning, energy moderate (963). Fun but mellow. Monday the 14th is tiny—3 feet, very long 18-second period, glassy but weak (673 energy). A longboard morning.
So the absolute standouts: Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th mornings. Those are the heavy, clean, powerful days. For a solid but less intense session, Wednesday the 2nd morning is a gem. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
Get ready.

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.
