The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you in feet and knots.

We’re looking at this one spot, Quimixto, and it’s a tale of two halves.

It kicks off with a proper bit of juice. Wednesday the 29th morning, we’ve got a solid 6ft swell rolling in from the SSW, with a long 16-second period that’s got some proper grunt. The energy is pumping at 1633 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is totally glassed out. That combination is a real treat, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. The water temp is hanging about average for this time of year, so you don’t need a winter suit. This is the standout. It’s a reef break, so it’ll handle that long-period groundswell nicely, and while it’s a beginner-friendly spot, that 6ft is pushing it for the learner crowd. The wind stays clean and the swell holds through the afternoon, but the wind shifts cross-shore, making it a bit less perfect.

Thursday the 30th morning still has some life – 5ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, and glassy conditions again. The energy has dropped to 1047, but it’s still very good. The afternoon gets a bit messy with the cross-shore wind.

From Friday the 31st through the first week of August, the swell just fades away. We’re looking at waist-to-chest high stuff, dropping to 1ft and 2ft. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the scores drop off a cliff. There’s a long gap of several days here where the surf is just not worth paddling out for.

Then, things start to wake up again. By Friday the 7th of August morning, we see a pulse of new energy. The swell is still small at 3ft, but that period is a very long 18 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The energy is building. This is a promising sign for the weekend.

Saturday the 8th of August morning is the other standout. The swell is 4ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and it’s glassy calm. The energy is a solid 738 (moderate wave energy). The conditions are set to be very good. You’ll want to be on it early, as the afternoon sees a cross-onshore breeze come up. The crowds here are sometimes an issue, but with that clean morning glass, it’ll be worth the company.

The following week has a few more windows – Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th mornings both show glassy conditions with 3ft to 3ft swell and decent periods. The energy is moderate, and it’s good, clean surfing. The standout further out is Thursday the 13th of August morning, with 4ft from the SW, a 16-second period, and perfectly glassy again. The energy at 730 is solid. It’s a bit far out to get too excited, but it’s a promising signal.

Overall, the first two days are the best on offer, especially Wednesday morning. After that, it’s a flat spell, then a few decent mornings in the second week, with Saturday the 8th and Thursday the 13th looking like the ones to circle.

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.
