The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Quimixto’s got for us.

It’s a slow start but it builds into something serious. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing crazy.

Saturday the 22nd starts tiny. A 2ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, moderate energy (424). The afternoon goes glassy with a 3ft wave. Small, but clean.

Sunday the 23rd is better. Glassy morning with a 3ft SSW swell, cleaner (619). Afternoon picks up a touch to 3ft with cross-offshore wind. Fun little morning session.

Monday the 24th through Thursday the 27th is a quiet spell. Swell sits between 2ft and 3ft. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, so the wave faces are a bit messy. There are a few clean windows, but nothing to write home about.

Friday the 28th is the turning point. Afternoon swell jumps to 5ft (SSW, 17 seconds, 1492). Wind is cross-onshore, so it’s a bit lumpy, but the energy is ramping up.

Saturday the 29th is the first true standout. Dead calm morning with a 5ft SSW groundswell (16 seconds, 1361). It’s glassy, clean, and the lines will be proper. This is the one to aim for if you can.

Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st keep the good run going. Clean, glassy mornings with 5ft and 4ft SSW swells. Great for a range of abilities.

Tuesday the 1st of September still has 3ft surf (S direction, 11 seconds) before the afternoon turns cross-onshore.

Now the heavy stuff arrives. Wednesday the 2nd of September. A 6ft SSW groundswell with glassy morning conditions. Energy is 1494. This is for the experienced crew.

Thursday the 3rd jumps to 7ft (SW, 13 seconds). Wind is cross-onshore, so it’s powerful but a bit rough.

Friday the 4th of September is the monster. A 10ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period and glassy conditions. Energy is a staggering 5012. This is a massive, powerful day for experts only.

Saturday the 5th holds that 10ft from the WSW, still glassy in the morning (4012). A second helping for the brave.

Sunday the 6th of September finishes with a 7ft SW swell and a dead-calm morning. Solid power to end the run.

My picks? Saturday the 29th of August for that first real taste of perfection, and Friday the 4th of September for the full-blown, big-wave experience.

Rusty out.

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.
