The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, let's get into it. Rusty here. We've got a solid run of surf on the way at Quimixto, a consistent reef setup that's a good bet for beginners. The water's sitting at a balmy 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not even need a spring suit.

The week kicks off on Monday, August 31st, with a clean, glassy morning. We're looking at a 4ft swell from the SW with a solid 13-second period, giving it a good pulse. The combined energy is moderate at 653, and with that glassy wind, it's a perfect time to get wet. The afternoon sees a little cross-off breeze and a risk of thunderstorms, but the surf stays fun.

Tuesday morning, September 1st, is another glassy gem with a slightly smaller 3ft SSW swell. The real standout of the first half of the week hits Tuesday afternoon. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the S, the period is 12 seconds, and the energy jumps to 917. With a clean, cross-off wind, it’s setting up for some very good surf.

Now, for the true standout of the entire forecast. Wednesday morning, September 2nd, is the one to circle. We’ve got an 8ft SSW swell running with an 11-second period. The combined energy is a powerful 1810. It’s glassy, it’s clean, and this is excellent, powerful reef surf for experienced surfers only. The afternoon sees it drop to 7ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, so the morning is your window.

Thursday, September 3rd, brings something special. The swell drops to 4ft, but the period stretches out to a very long 18 seconds. This is pure groundswell. The energy is still strong at 1630. That long period will make for some lined-up, drawn-out waves at this reef, best for the more experienced crew. Morning glass again, but the afternoon gets a little lumpy with a cross-shore wind.

Friday, September 4th, is another cracker of a morning. 6ft from the SSW, a 16-second period, and an energy reading of 2099, the highest of the whole run. Glassy conditions. This is pumping, powerful groundswell. Again, not one for the groms, but the experts are in for a treat.

From Saturday, September 5th, through Sunday, September 6th, the wind gets a bit onshore and cross-onshore. The swell hangs around the 5ft to 5ft mark, but the quality drops. It’s still surfable, but not the peak of the week.

Monday, September 7th, sees a shift. A new 6ft WNW swell fills in with a 12-second period, and the morning glass returns. This is another excellent session for experienced surfers. Tuesday and Wednesday, September 8th and 9th, the swell backs off, but we get some clean, glassy mornings with smaller waves, perfect for the beginners to get some practice on the long-period groundswell that rolls in on the 9th.

Thursday, September 10th, and Friday, September 11th, keep things tidy with 4ft SW groundswell and glassy starts. The conditions stay good for a relaxed paddle.

The second week gets a little more hit-and-miss. Saturday, September 12th, is a write-off with onshore wind and poor surf. Sunday the 13th has a small clean window in the morning, but the afternoon is poor again. Monday the 14th offers another glassy morning with a 4ft W swell. The best of the late period looks like Tuesday morning, September 15th, with a return of that long-period 3ft SW groundswell and glassy conditions for a clean, fun session before the afternoon wind messes it up.

Rusty out.

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.
