The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Quimixto over the next couple weeks. We’ve got a nice little run of solid, clean waves lining up – nothing crazy huge, but plenty of fun to be had, especially for the beginner-to-intermediate crew.

The water’s sitting at 88° – a touch warmer than normal, which is pretty nice for this time of year, no complaints there.

The first real standout session is Thursday morning, 27 August. Glassy conditions under some clouds with a light Easterly breeze, and a clean 3ft swell from the SW at 15 seconds. That’s a nice long-period groundswell rolling in with moderate energy (562), perfect for a reef break. It’s a consistent spot, so you won’t be waitin’ around too long between sets, but it can get a few people out there sometimes. For a beginner-friendly wave, this is about as good as it gets.

Friday morning, 28 August, cranks it up a notch. Another glassy morning with the wind swinging out of the NE, swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW at 16 seconds, and the energy jumps to a solid 792. The waves are gonna have some punch and shape for a reef setup – very good surf on offer, no doubt. Afternoons get a bit sketchy with light cross-onshore breezes and a risk of storms, so stick to the mornings when it’s clean.

By Saturday the 29th, the swell ticks up to 5ft from the SSW, period a touch shorter at 15-16 seconds, but the afternoon window is the pick – cross-off winds and clean conditions, with energy at 1430. This is in the zone where it’s gettin’ a bit sizey for beginners, but experienced surfers are gonna lap it up. Sunday the 30th follows with a glassy afternoon, 4ft swell and 954 energy, still very good.

Things ease off a bit through Monday and Tuesday of the first week, with waist-high glassy mornings and good conditions, but nothing to write home about. Then we hit a quiet patch from Wednesday afternoon through to the following Tuesday – mostly marginal surf with light onshore breezes, and swell dropping down around 2ft to 4ft. Not worth paddlin’ out unless you’re desperate.

But then – hold onto your board – Thursday morning 10 September swings back with a beauty. Cloudy, glassy, and a 4ft swell from the SW at 16 seconds, energy at 851. That’s another very good morning session, and the afternoon goes glassy too under a risk of storms but dead calm wind. This stretch is worth planning for if you can.

Friday 11 September finishes the run with a glassy morning, 4ft from SW at 14 seconds, with decent energy (579). Good surf on offer to close out the outlook.

Overall, the best on the board is Friday 28 August morning and Saturday 29 August afternoon, but honestly Thursday 10 September morning is a real standout too – long-period groundswell, glassy, and consistent. Get out there when the wind lays down and you’ll be smilin’.

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.
