The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, checking in with the local outlook for the region. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up, but there are definitely some windows to get excited about.

First up, we’re looking at Quimixto, a consistent reef break that’s been getting a fair bit of attention. The water’s sitting at about 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a noticeable bump of about 3°.

The pattern starts steady. For the next few days, from August 28th through the weekend, the swell is hanging around 3ft to 5ft from the SSW, with periods over 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy – we’re seeing combined energy readings in the 900 to 1457 range, which is solid, moderate-to-strong stuff. But the wind is the issue. Most of these days are cross-onshore or light and variable, making for a bumpy, ripply surface. It’s not terrible, but not the cleanest.

Then we get a real treat. On Monday morning, August 31st, the wind drops right out. We’re looking at glassy conditions, with a 4ft SSW swell and a 13-second period. Combined energy is still a decent 684, and the waves will be clean. That’s your first standout of the period – a solid morning session.

The glassy windows continue. Wednesday morning September 2nd is perfectly calm, with a 3ft SW swell but a long 16-second period, giving us a clean, fun size. Then Thursday September 3rd morning is another glassy morning with a 4ft SW swell and an 18-second period – that’s very long period groundswell, and combined energy jumps to 1243. That’s a proper pulse of energy for the reef.

But the real highlight looks to be Friday September 4th. Morning session sees a clean 6ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and glassy winds. Combined energy hits 1775 – that’s strong, powerful surf. This is a bit of size, getting into the range that’s better for experienced surfers. If you’ve got the skills, this is the session to aim for.

We’ve got another very promising window around September 8th through 10th. The 8th morning is glassy with a 7ft S swell, but the period is a short 9 seconds, so the energy is a bit mushier. However, Wednesday September 9th and Thursday September 10th are both standouts. The 9th morning has a 7ft SSW swell with an 11-second period, glassy conditions, and excellent surf for experienced surfers. Thursday the 10th is a double standout: morning is glassy with a 7ft SW swell at 10 seconds, and the afternoon stays glassy with a 7ft SW swell at 11 seconds. Combined energy on both of those is over 1500. This is powerful, clean surf, but with the swell over 7ft, it’s strictly for experts. The reef will be handling that long-period energy well.

After that, the swell backs off. September 11th has glassy mornings and afternoons with 4ft SW swell and a nice 15-second period – a perfect, clean, fun size day for a wider range of skill levels. By the 12th, the wind turns cross-onshore again and the energy fades, so that’s your signal to wrap it up.

There are no big gaps in the surf over the 16 days – it keeps rolling through with only the wind being the main variable. Crowds at Quimixto are possible, so get in early for those glassy windows.

Stay stoked, and paddle hard.

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.
