The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the stretch ahead. We’ve got one main spot lighting up the board for the next couple of weeks: Quimixto. It’s not going to be a non-stop party, but there are definitely some windows where you’ll want to be in the water.

The first good opportunity we see is kicking off Saturday, the 8th of August. The morning is looking prime with a clean, glassy surface and a 4ft SSW swell rolling in with a solid 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy – the combined energy is reading 880, which is moderate, but the long period will make it feel stronger. This is the standout of the weekend.

The swell stays consistent through the weekend, though the periods back off a touch. Sunday morning on the 9th is still clean and glassy with 4ft of the same SSW direction. After lunch, it gets a bit more mixed with the wind turning onshore, so make the most of the morning.

Looking ahead to next week, the pattern holds. Monday the 10th has a clean and glassy morning with 3ft and a 13-second period. The afternoons are where it gets messy with the sea breeze and those thunderstorms lurking. Then, we have a bigger push of energy arriving around Friday the 14th and into Saturday the 15th. The morning of Friday the 14th looks like the best of the bunch – 4ft of SW swell with a long 18-second period, calm winds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is solid at 1038, which is moderate but with that long period it’ll have some punch. This is another standout. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can skip the thick wetsuit.

The cleanup continues into Saturday the 15th with a 5ft SW swell and a glassy start. It’s a touch bigger, so there’s more push, but it’s still well within reason. After that, we see things slowly backing down through the next week. The 16th, 17th, and 18th have rideable waves each morning, with the 18th showing some nice, clean glass with a 3ft SSW swell.

By the 20th and 21st, the swell is dropping off, with the size fading to under 3ft and the period shrinking. The mornings will still be clean and glassy, but the energy is waning. The very early forecasts for the 22nd show just tiny leftover surf, so the run is pretty much done by then.

Overall, the two names you want to circle on the calendar are the mornings of Saturday, the 8th, and Friday, the 14th. Both have clean conditions and decent SW groundswell. This Quimixto is a reef break, so that longer period swell will wrap in nicely. The water’s a touch warm, the crowds can be around sometimes, so get out there early.

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.
