The Lowdown

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Quimixto. It’s not a wild start, but once we get through the first few days, there’s some proper glassy goodness creeping in, especially for the mornings.

Right off the bat, Tuesday afternoon the 4th is a write-off—risk of thunderstorms, cross-onshore wind, and the swell is a tiny 2 ft from the WSW. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in the lineup. The combined energy is weak (238). Not worth paddling out.

Wednesday morning the 5th, things perk up a little. The wind goes glassy from the north, just 3 mph, and the swell is still small at 2 ft from the SW, but with a long period of 14 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and though it’s small, the clean conditions make it workable for a beginner-friendly reef. The energy is still low (210). The afternoon turns to rubbish again with thunderstorms.

Thursday morning the 6th is where it starts to get interesting. Glassy calm, 0 mph wind, and the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SW, period 13 seconds. The energy is now moderate (333). The water is glassy, the waves are surfable, and it’s a good morning for a quiet session.

Friday morning the 7th is a standout. Glassy conditions with a light ENE breeze at 3 mph, swell at 3 ft from the SSW, long period of 18 seconds. That’s a nice long-period groundswell, and the energy is climbing (694). The reef setup here will love that long period—it’s going to shape up nicely. Very good surf conditions. The afternoon gets cross and a bit messy, but the morning is the pick.

Saturday morning the 8th is still okay, but the wind goes cross at 3 mph, and the swell is 4 ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds. Energy is strong (887). The conditions are marginal, but there’s some push. The afternoon is cross-on and not great.

Sunday morning the 9th is another glassy winner. NNE wind at 3 mph, swell 4 ft from the SSW, 14-second period. Good surf conditions, moderate energy (574). The afternoon is cross-on again.

Monday morning the 10th, glassy again, swell 3 ft from the SSW, 13-second period. Energy is moderate (529). Good conditions. The afternoon has a 19-second period swell from the SW, but the cross-on wind ruins it.

Tuesday morning the 11th is a real gem. Glassy, ESE wind at 3 mph, swell 3 ft from the SSW, 18-second period. Very good surf conditions, and the energy is high (896). That’s a long-period groundswell on a reef—expect some clean, lined-up waves.

The next week, from the 12th onward, the mornings are consistently glassy or light wind, with swell sitting between 3 ft and 5 ft. The best of the bunch is Friday morning the 14th: glassy, north wind 3 mph, swell 4 ft from the SSW at 18 seconds. The energy is very strong (1158). That’s a powerful, long-period groundswell—perfect for the reef. It’s going to be clean and punchy. The afternoon ramps up to 4 ft but gets cross-on.

Saturday morning the 15th sees the biggest swell of the run at 5 ft from the SW, 16-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the NE at 3 mph. The energy is strong (1066), but the conditions are only marginal. Still, for a bigger day, it’s worth a look if you don’t mind a bit of bump.

Sunday morning the 16th has a clean cross-off breeze from the SW at 3 mph, swell 4 ft from the SW, 15-second period. Good conditions, moderate energy (599).

Monday morning the 17th is glassy again, west wind 3 mph, swell 4 ft from the SW, 14-second period. Good surf.

The last few mornings, the 18th, 19th, and 20th, are all glassy with 3 ft to 3 ft swell from the SSW, periods around 14-15 seconds. Good, clean, small waves for the beginner-friendly reef.

The standout session is Friday morning the 14th—that 4 ft, 18-second groundswell with glassy conditions is the best on offer. The Friday morning the 7th and Tuesday morning the 11th are also excellent. The afternoons are mostly a write-off with thunderstorms or cross-onshore winds, so stick to the mornings. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might not have it all to yourself, but it’s not a zoo.

Stay stoked, 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.
