The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the upcoming stretch.
We’ve got Quimixto as the main call for this whole outlook. It’s a beginner-friendly reef break, and it’s consistent, which is a good sign. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Right now, Wednesday morning is looking glassy with a clean 2 ft SW swell, period around 14 seconds – that’s a longer period groundswell giving the waves shape. The energy is moderate (210). It’s surfable but pretty small. Wednesday afternoon turns a bit messy with a risk of thunderstorms and a light cross-onshore breeze, so conditions drop off.
Thursday morning we get another glassy window with a slightly bigger 3 ft SSW swell, period 13 seconds. The energy is picking up (347). It’s clean, easy paddling.
The first standout is Friday morning, August 7th. We’ve got a solid 3 ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period and light offshore wind from the south. That’s clean, glassy conditions, and the combined energy is solid (694). The longer period should give it punch and shape – great for this reef.
Saturday morning, August 8th is also a real contender. Swell bumps to 4 ft from the SSW, 16-second period, glassy with an easterly breeze. The energy is up at 904. This is likely the best combination of size and cleanliness of the first week. Expect some good sets rolling through.
There are more glassy mornings right through the following week – Sunday the 9th, Monday the 10th – but the swell dips a bit. The trough hits mid-week with smaller, cross-onshore conditions.
Then we get another standout on Friday morning, August 14th. A 4 ft SSW swell, 18-second period, glassy conditions again. The combined energy surges right up to 1180, which is strong. This is serious groundswell for this break – lots of power, clean faces, and the reef will handle it well.
The morning of Thursday, August 20th also looks excellent. A 5 ft SSW swell, 17-second period, glassy as a mirror, and strong wave energy (1118). The swell is solid here, but at this size it’s still manageable for a confident beginner. Crowds are possible here sometimes.
Overall, the mornings are the window of opportunity, and this stretch has plenty of them. The best windows are Friday morning August 7th, Saturday morning August 8th, and then Friday morning August 14th. That last one is a ripper in the second week – promising, but that far out it’s something to keep an eye on.

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.
