The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next sixteen days.
First up, we’re looking at Quimixto. This is a consistent reef break that’s good for beginners, and it’s fairly exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The pattern starts off pretty quiet. Wednesday morning has a tiny 2ft SW swell with a period of 14 seconds, but it’s glassy. The combined energy is weak (210). Not much to write home about, but a clean wave for the learner crew. Thursday morning is the first real standout. We’ve got a clean 3ft SW swell, glassy conditions, and the energy bumps up to a moderate 347. It’s small but clean, and that’s a good start.
Friday morning is the best of the first week. The swell picks up to 3ft from the SSW, with a period of 18 seconds, and offshore winds. The energy is 694, and it’s clean. This is a long-period groundswell, so it’ll have some push and shape, but it’s small enough for everyone. Saturday morning is another cracker: 4ft SSW, glassy, with energy at 904. Clean and fun. Sunday and Monday mornings are also glassy, with 4ft and 3ft respectively, but the energy drops a bit.
There’s a bit of a gap through the middle of the week, with mornings having cross-on winds and afternoons getting messy. Thursday the 13th morning is glassy again with a 3ft SW swell, and the energy is moderate at 650. Not a standout, but a solid option.
Now, the real winner. Friday the 14th morning. This is the one. We’ve got 4ft of SSW swell, a period of 18 seconds, glassy conditions, and a combined energy of 1180. That’s strong wave energy. This is a long-period groundswell, and it’ll be running clean. For a reef break, this is prime. Saturday the 15th morning is also very good: 5ft SW, 16 seconds, glassy, with energy at 1065. Another strong morning.
After that, the wind turns onshore and the surf gets messy. There’s a bit of a lull until Tuesday the 18th morning, when we get a clean 3ft SSW glassy session. The energy is 432. Then Wednesday and Thursday mornings the 19th and 20th are glassy again, with 3ft and 2ft, but the energy is low. Good for a quiet paddle.
Overall, the best bet is Friday the 14th morning. That’s the standout. Saturday the 15th morning is a close second. Get on it.
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.
