The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but I’ll switch it up for those who think in feet.
We’ve got a solid run of surf starting this Sunday afternoon at Quimixto. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 88°, which is pretty noticeable for this time of year. Combined swell energy is 867 (moderate) with a 4ft SSW swell and glassy conditions—dead flat, no wind to mess it up. It might be a bit inconsistent between sets, but the waves that come through will be worth it.
Monday morning is similar: 4ft SSW, glassy, clean. Monday afternoon gets a light cross-onshore breeze, so get out early.
Tuesday morning is dead calm, glassy, with 4ft SSW—small but clean. Wednesday morning is where it heats up: 7ft SSW with an 11-second period, glassy, and combined energy of 1558 (moderate-strong). That’s expert territory, but the reef handles it beautifully. Crowds are sometimes a thing, but on a consistent break like this, it’s fine.
Thursday morning is another standout: 7ft SW with an 18-second period—classic groundswell, long lulls but big energy. Glassy again. This is one of the best windows of the whole forecast.
Friday morning stays solid at 6ft SSW with a 16-second period, glassy, and combined energy of 1921 (strong). Excellent for experienced surfers.
From Saturday onward, the wind gets a bit messy and the swell drops, but there’s still fun stuff around 4–5ft. Not the best quality, but rideable.
The second week (from September 7) is smaller and lower energy. Monday the 7th morning is glassy with 4ft SSW and decent energy (1069). Tuesday the 8th is also glassy with 4ft WNW.
The absolute big dog of the forecast is Thursday the 10th of September. Thursday afternoon brings 8ft S swell with a 13-second period, combined energy of 2409 (strong), and glassy as a pond. That’s a big, powerful day for experts only. Then Friday the 11th morning goes huge: 12ft from the W with a 10-second period, combined energy of 3418 (very strong), glassy. That’s a proper bomb. Friday afternoon sees offshore wind cleaning it up after the peak.
After that, the swell fades into small, glassy knee-to-waist-high waves through the end of the 16 days. Nothing special.
Best bets: Wednesday the 2nd morning and Thursday the 10th afternoon. Don’t sleep on them.
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.
