The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell ahead for Quimixto, starting Tuesday morning. The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—comfortable stuff.

First up, Tuesday morning brings some nice glassy conditions with a 3ft SSW swell, period 13 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (376). Clean, small, and tidy for a paddle out—nothing to get the heart racing, but a nice way to ease in.

Wednesday morning is where it really kicks. That swell jumps to 10ft from the SSW, period 12 seconds, and the energy cranks up to strong (2776). That’s proper size—only for experienced surfers. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean, but at this size, you want to know what you’re doing. Wednesday afternoon stays solid at 8ft, still with clean cross-off wind. A standout for the big-wave crew.

Thursday morning is a beauty for the more moderate swells: 4ft from the SW, but check the period—18 seconds, very long groundswell. That’s going to wrap in nicely over the reef, and with glassy wind, the shape will be excellent. Combined energy is strong (1687). This is the pick of the week for most surfers. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy with cross-on wind, so morning is the call.

Friday morning is another good one: 6ft SSW swell, 16-second period, glassy conditions. Strong energy (2293). Plenty of push, clean faces. Afternoon turns cross-on again, so get out early.

Saturday sees onshore winds all day, so quality drops. Swell hangs around 5ft to 5ft, but without clean wind, it’s ordinary.

Sunday morning bounces back: 6ft from the west, 12-second period, glassy. Combined energy is strong (1598). Another excellent session for experienced surfers. Afternoon gets a bit mixed with cross wind and the chance of a storm.

Monday morning stays glassy with a 5ft west swell, 12-second period, moderate energy (1112). Very good conditions for a relaxed session. Afternoon stays glassy but smaller at 4ft.

From Tuesday the 8th through to the end of the run, the swell drops off. You’ll see clean glassy mornings with swell around 3ft to 4ft, periods often long (14–18 seconds), but the energy falls from moderate (664) down to weak (262) by the 16th. The good news: most mornings stay calm or glassy, and the reef at Quimixto handles those long-period swells well. It’s not firing, but it’s surfable. The 14th and 15th still have clean cross-off winds in the afternoon, even if the size is small.

Overall, Wednesday and Thursday morning this week are the standouts. Hit Thursday morning for that long-period groundswell with clean glass—that’s the best of the lot. After that, it’s a slow fade but with enough clean windows to keep the stoke alive.

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.
