The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into it.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way at Quimixto right now. The pattern is a good, clean SW groundswell that starts off strong and then slowly backs off over the next two weeks. The water is sitting at 89°, which is about 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's a standout, it’s much warmer than usual, so you’re in for a tropical bath.

The best of the best is hands down Wednesday the 2nd, first thing in the morning. You’ve got an 8ft SSW swell, with a solid 12-second period, pumping good energy (2004). And the wind? Glassy from the SSE at about 3 mph. That’s a dream combo for a reef setup. This is top-tier, experienced surfer territory – the swell is over 8ft, so this is for the chargers only. It’s going to be clean, powerful, and long-period. Because it’s a reef, that long period is a bonus – it’ll line up nicely.

The swell drops a touch for Thursday the 3rd, down to around 4ft to 5ft from the SW, but the period stretches out to 18 seconds. That’s a lot of energy (1508-1723) for that size. The catch is a cross-onshore wind, so the mornings will look better with lighter breezes. It’s marginal, but there will be waves.

Friday the 4th morning is your next real highlight. A clean 6ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds, with glassy conditions from the NE at 3 mph. The energy is strong at 2113. This is right in the sweet spot for a good session. The afternoon turns onshore, but that morning will be magic. It’s not too big for most competent surfers.

From Saturday the 5th through to the end of the first week, the swell slowly backs off from around 5ft to 4ft. The period stays decent (15-16 seconds) and the energy drops from 1712 down to about 1000. Winds are light and variable, often cross or cross-on. The mornings are usually the cleaner window, with some glassy patches, especially on Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th where we see calm winds. This stretch is more about fun, mellow waves than anything critical.

There’s a gap in quality for a few days mid-week, but then things pick up again from September 9th. Clear skies and glassy mornings with a 3ft to 4ft SW swell, period still hanging around 16 seconds, and energy in the 600-850 range. It’s not big, but it’s clean and rideable.

The second week, from around the 12th onwards, the surf gets smaller. Expect 3ft and below, generally a clean SW groundswell with a good period, but less push. The morning windows are your best bet with glassy conditions. It’s good for a longboard or a funboard session, just don't expect any bombs.

Overall, the standout session is Wednesday the 2nd morning for the experts, and Friday the 4th morning for a proper solid session for everyone else. Get on it.

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.
