The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' for Quimixto over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, things are a bit sleepy. The first few days are looking pretty marginal. You’ve got a small, long-period groundswell from the SW, but the winds are just a bit messy – cross-onshore – and the wave quality is suffering for it. It’s one of those situations where you’d be paddling around more than you’d be surfing.
The real spark comes early on the morning of Thursday, the 27th. We get a little window of glassy conditions at Quimixto, a reef break that’s consistent and works well for beginners. The swell is a modest 3ft from the SW, but with that long 15-second period it’ll have some push. It won't be big, but it’ll be clean. The water is sitting at a balmy 89°F, which is notably warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath.
Hold onto your board for the morning of Friday, the 29th of August. This is your standout session for the first week. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSW, still with a very long 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy again. The energy in the water is strong (1279), and this is where you want to be. It’s a little on the bigger side, but at Quimixto, that clean, glassy groundswell will be a treat.
Looking further out, the forecast has a couple of promising but less certain sessions. Thursday, the 3rd of September, shows a solid 5ft SW swell with a 19-second period – that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 1625, and with light offshore wind expected in the afternoon, it’s a real contender. Then on Friday, the 4th of September, the morning looks excellent with a 6ft SSW swell and glassy conditions. That’s pushing into expert territory for size, but for the experienced crew, that’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Overall, there are a lot of marginal days in the mix, but the clean windows at the end of August and the larger, glassy pulses early September make it worth keeping an eye on the tide.
Stay wet.
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.
