The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got one spot in the mix, a consistent little reef that’s going to serve up some fun, mellow waves for the most part, with a couple of real standouts later on if you’ve got the patience.

The water is sitting at a warm 89°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in just boardies.

The first few days are all about small, clean conditions. Tuesday the 18th kicks off with a bit of a risk of thunderstorms, wind from the NW at 3 mph, and a 4ft SSW swell with a long 15-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 604. Not massive, but the reef will tidy it up. Wednesday morning the 19th is where it gets sweet – glassy conditions, NE wind at 3 mph, and a 3ft SSW swell. Clean as a whistle. Thursday morning the 20th repeats that glassy vibe with a 3ft swell. These mornings are the best of the early run.

The swell dips a little through the end of the week, but the quality holds on the glassy mornings. Friday the 21st morning has a 2ft SW swell, and Saturday the 22nd morning is a 2ft SSW swell, both with glassy conditions. The energy is weak to moderate (327 and 424). Not a day for big waves, but perfect for a longboard or a learner.

Sunday the 23rd morning sees a little bump back up to 3ft, and the energy climbs to 662. Still glassy. Monday the 24th morning is glassy with a 2ft SW swell, but the period jumps to 17 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The reef will love that. The energy is moderate at 555.

Now, the real standout is the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. This one is for the experienced crew. We’re looking at a 6ft SSW swell, with a 16-second period, and the wind is dead calm – glassy. The combined energy is strong at 1445. This is a proper session for those who know what they’re doing. Over 5ft, it’s getting a bit much for beginners. The reef should handle that long period well.

The following morning, Sunday the 30th, is still solid at 5ft, but the wind is a cross-on, so it won’t be as clean. The energy is still strong at 1022.

Then we have a bit of a lull, with Monday the 31st morning offering a 4ft SSW swell in glassy conditions – very good. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is also glassy with a 4ft swell.

The last real note is for Wednesday the 2nd of September. The swell jumps up to 8ft, but the period drops to 10 seconds, and it’s a cross-on wind. That’s expert territory, and the energy is very strong (1622). It’s a bit of a messy beast, but for the brave, there’s power.

The crowd at Quimixto can be around sometimes, but with this reef not being a beginner’s wave when it’s over 5ft, you’ll have plenty of space on the better days.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
