Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for our local break, Quimixto.

The next few days are a bit of a slow burn, but the back half of this forecast window has some serious potential. We’ve got a decent run of small, clean waves coming in, but the real standout action is locked in for a few days around the 16th and 17th, and then again later in the month. The water is sitting at a balmy 88°, which is a good 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bathtub out there.

We’ll start with the early part of the week. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are pretty marginal. You’re looking at chest-high swell around 4ft to 4ft from the SSW, but the wind is a messy cross-on, and the energy is weak to moderate (794 and 577). The comments are saying marginal surf, and I’d agree. Not worth rushing out.

Then Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th, we get a little window of clean conditions. The swell drops right off to 2ft to 4ft, but we get some glassy mornings and light offshore winds. The wave energy is on the low side (372 to 742), but it’ll be clean and fun for a longboard or a foiler. Wednesday afternoon even has a shot at "very good" conditions.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th are the real deal. The swell jumps up to 7ft to 8ft from the S and SSW, with a solid 12 to 13 second period. The combined energy hits strong levels (1703 to 2305). The wind is glassy, and the forecast is calling for "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is not for beginners. Over 8ft, it’s expert-only territory, and the long period means it’ll be powerful and walled up at the beach, but this reef setup should handle it well. Saturday the 18th stays good with 5ft to 5ft waves and glassy conditions, still packing a punch.

There’s a bit of a lull from Sunday the 19th into Monday the 20th, with the swell dropping back to 3ft to 4ft, but the glassy mornings keep it clean. Then Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd see another pulse of solid SSW swell, 5ft to 7ft, with clean conditions. The energy is moderate to strong (955 to 1601).

The real highlight of the entire forecast, though, is Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th. We’re looking at a massive 8ft to 10ft S swell with a 12-second period. The combined energy is off the charts at 2719. Thursday morning is glassy, but the afternoon gets a cross-shore wind, so it might get a bit textured. This is a big, powerful groundswell. For the experienced crew, this is the session to circle. The 24th Friday morning is glassy again with 7ft from the SW and strong energy (2293). It’ll be a close-out at the beach, but on the reef, it’ll be an absolute paddle out.

The final weekend, the 26th, brings one last glassy morning with 4ft of long-period SSW swell (18 seconds) and strong energy (1473). A nice way to close out the run.

The Standout: Without a doubt, Thursday the 23rd (Quimixto) . The swell is a solid 10ft from the S, with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 2719. The wind goes glassy in the morning, but gets cross-shore in the afternoon. This is a full-on, expert-level swell. The reef here is the place to be. If you’re not comfortable in serious, powerful surf, watch from the beach.

The Second Standout: Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th (Quimixto) . A smaller but still very solid pulse of 7ft to 8ft S swell, with glassy conditions and strong energy. This is a prolonged window of excellent, clean surf for the experienced surfer.

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.
