The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaking for the upcoming surf window.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, starting right now and hanging around for a good stretch. The standout period is gonna be from this Saturday morning through early next week, with some real quality pulses. The water is sitting at 88°F which is a touch warmer than normal, so you'll be plenty comfortable in boardies.
The first real highlight kicks off on Saturday morning, the 29th. Quimixto will be seeing a clean 5 feet of swell out of the SSW, with a long 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy, and it’s gonna reel down the reef. What makes it a winner is the glassy easterly wind. That is going to turn it into a beautiful sheet of water. The combined swell energy is strong at 1457. This is the one to point your board at if you’ve got the experience – the size and power make it for the crew who know what they’re doing, not beginners.
Then we get another belter rolling in on Thursday, September 3rd afternoon. The swell drops back a touch to 5 feet, but it’s still a meaty SW groundswell with a 17-second period (energy at 1353) and clean cross-offshore wind. It’s gonna be lined up and hollow. Again, this is excellent for experienced surfers.
Through the middle of next week, things stay fun but smaller. Tuesday, September 2nd afternoon has some clean 3-foot waves with a good 16-second period on a cross-off breeze – a nice option for the log or a mid-length. The energy is moderate at 761.
There’s a bit of a gap in the really high-quality stuff around the 5th and 6th, but by Thursday, September 10th morning, we’re back into glassy conditions with a 3-foot, 15-second SW groundswell (energy 875). It’s not a standout, but it’s a damn fine morning session. The following Friday morning, September 11th is also looking glassy with a similar, clean 4-foot pulse.
For the guys looking at the end of the run, Saturday, September 12th morning gives you glassy 3-foot waves. It’s small, but it’s clean and fun.
Stay safe out there.

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.
