The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown for our spot. We've got a slow start, but the second week holds a proper swell.
It's a quiet beginning. The main event is Saturday morning, August 15th. Water temp feels just about average for this time of year. We've got a 5ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period. That's a heap of energy, showing a combined reading of 1145. It's glassy, flat calm, and it's gonna be smooth. This is a beginner-friendly reef, but with that long period, expect the waves to be a bit more walled. This is your best bet for the first week.
The rest of that week, from Sunday the 16th to Friday the 21st, the swell drops from 4ft down to 2ft, but the mornings stay glassy or with very light wind. It won't be big, but for a log or a funboard, those dawn sessions will be clean and uncrowded. Energy drops way down, so don't expect much push.
Now, the big news. Sunday, August 23rd is the one to get excited about. We're looking at 8ft to 10ft SSW swell with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2633 – that's a lot of power. The wind goes from glassy in the morning to a light offshore in the afternoon. This is for experts only. If you're skilled at Quimixto, it'll be phenomenal. Just know that the crowds might show up for this one.
The energy stays heavy on Monday the 24th, with another 8ft SW swell, before fading out. The following Saturday, August 29th, has another nice 4ft to 5ft pulse of long-period SSW swell that's looking clean. It's a good backup, but the 23rd is the real standout.
Stay stoked,
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.
