The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the crystal ball for our little slice of paradise. This run is looking pretty tasty, with a solid run of surf kicking off with the new month. The water is sitting at a warm 88°F, about 3°F above normal, so that’s a touch warmer than you’d expect for this time of year – feels like a bath out there.

The best of the best is shaping up for the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd at Quimixto. The swell is packing some serious punch at 8ft from the SSW with a moderate period of 12 seconds. That’s a fair bit of grunt, with combined energy hitting a hearty 1794. It’s going to be a bit much for beginners, but for experienced surfers, this is the goods. The wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm, so you’re looking at clean, peeling lines. That’s the standout session of the whole window, no question.

The run-up to that is a bit of a slow dance. Monday August 31st has some small 3ft SSW swell, but the cross-on wind makes it feel a bit messy. Tuesday September 1st sees a drop to 3ft with calm, glassy conditions in the morning, making for a clean but small session. Then on Wednesday the 2nd, that bigger pulse arrives. The afternoon on the 2nd keeps the quality high with 8ft SSW swell, a light cross-offshore wind, and excellent shape for those who know what they’re doing. Combined energy there is still strong at 1793.

Thursday the 3rd starts with a beautiful glassy morning, 4ft from the SW but with a very long period of 18 seconds. That groundswell will wrap in nicely at this reef setup, offering deep, powerful lines. The afternoon gets a bit skunky with a cross breeze. Friday the 4th morning is another gem – 6ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and glassy conditions. Energy is still strong at 2011. That’s your second best bet, very clean and punchy. The weekend sees the swell ease a little, dropping from 5ft on Saturday to 5ft on Sunday, with some glassy windows in the mornings that will still offer fun waves.

Into the second week, from Monday the 7th through Thursday the 10th, you’ve got a persistent run of chest-high swell in the 4ft to 4ft range from the SSW/SW, with mostly glassy conditions in the mornings. It’s not pumping, but it’s consistent and clean. Energy drops a bit, sitting around 700-850. By Friday the 11th, the wind turns cross-on and the quality drops, so aim for the mornings. The last few days of the run, from the 13th to the 15th, are a slow fade with small swell (2ft to 3ft) and glassy starts – fine for a longboard or a foiling session if that’s your thing.

So, to sum it up: Wednesday the 2nd morning is your absolute target, with Friday the 4th morning as a strong runner-up. The rest of the window has plenty of clean, glassy windows for fun, manageable waves. Stay stoked, and I’ll see you in the water.

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.
