The Lowdown

G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Quimixto for the next couple of weeks. The water’s warm—about 88°F—a touch above average for this time of year, so you’re good in boardshorts.

First session worth getting wet for is Saturday afternoon, 8 August. Swell is 4ft from the SSW, light cross-onshore wind from the NW at 6 mph. Moderate energy (649). It’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for the gems.

Sunday morning, 9 August, cleans right up. Glassy conditions, ESE breeze at 3 mph, same 4ft SSW swell with a 14-second period—that’s proper long-period groundswell, perfect for the reef at Quimixto. Clean lines, easy paddling out. Moderate energy (557). A solid call for a lazy Sunday session.

Monday morning, 10 August, is another glassy morning—dead calm, 3ft SSW swell at 13 seconds. Moderate energy (567). Not big, but clean as a whistle.

Now, mark your calendar for Friday afternoon, 14 August. That’s the standout. Swell hits 5ft from the SW, 17-second period, glassy with a slight air from the west, and strong energy (1379). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The reef will shape that long-period swell into proper waves.

Saturday morning, 15 August, keeps the quality—5ft SW, glassy, strong energy (1151). Another cracker morning.

From there, it’s a run of smaller, clean mornings through to Sunday 23 August. Most mornings are glassy with 3ft to 4ft SSW swell and moderate energy. Afternoons get a cross-on breeze and the odd thunderstorm risk, so aim for those early starts.

No big dry spells here—you’ll find clean surf most mornings, especially if you’re after consistent, manageable waves on a reef. Quimixto can get a few folks around sometimes, so don’t expect solitude.

Pick your windows, paddle smart, and enjoy.

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.
