The Lowdown

Alright, crew, Rusty here. We’ve got a slow start to the forecast, so don’t go paddling out expecting magic just yet. The first couple of days are pretty tiny, with weak surf and just not enough energy to make it worth your while. The water’s a bit warmer than usual at 88°, which is notable for this time of year. The mornings are clean, but the afternoon winds chop things up and the swell is just too small.

Things start to come alive around the 6th and 7th of August with a longer-period swell from the south-southwest. The energy climbs into the moderate range, and by Friday afternoon we finally get some good waves with a clean 4ft SSW swell. The best windows are the glassy mornings on Saturday the 9th and Monday the 10th, with the swell holding around 4ft and the wind calm. That’s your clean, reef-break surf right there.

The middle of the second week brings another pulse of energy, and the standout is Friday the 15th of August. The morning looks excellent, with clean conditions and the swell up to 5ft from the southwest. The energy is strong, around 951, and with the light offshore wind, this is the day to circle on the calendar. It’s a proper, powerful swell for experienced surfers.

After that, the swell backs off a bit but there are still some fun, clean waves to be had, particularly in the mornings. So, be patient, surf smart, and be ready for the 15th. That’s the one that’s going to be worth the wait.

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.
