Table - best surf conditions forecast for Quimixto over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s talk it out. The first few days are pretty weak, but there’s a good run of surf building later on.
Starting out, Thursday the 9th at Quimixto is nothing special. You’ve got about 5ft from the SSW, 16-second period, but the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s a bit bumpy. The water is real warm, near 88°, which is much hotter than normal for this time of year – over 5° warmer than average, so that’s unusual. The energy is moderate (1011). Not a day to rush out.
Friday the 10th morning is a better shout. The wind goes glassy, the swell holds at 4ft with the same long period, and that’s clean, lined-up surf. This consistent reef break is beginner-friendly, but crowds are possible, so keep an eye out.
Saturday and Sunday the 11th and 12th stay small, around 4ft, with the wind turning cross-onshore. Energy drops off.
From Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th, we get a lull. Swell drops under 3ft. The 13th morning has glassy conditions and 4ft – okay for a small-wave session. By the 15th, it’s down to 2ft, very weak energy.
Now the good stuff. Thursday the 16th morning brings 6ft from the south, 13-second period, glassy wind, and energy jumps to 1100. That’s the door opening.
The clear standout is Friday the 17th. Morning has 7ft from the SSW, glassy, with strong energy (2068). That’s powerful. The afternoon pushes to 8ft with offshore wind and clean conditions. This is expert-only – too big for beginners.
Saturday the 18th still has 7ft in the morning, but the wind goes cross-onshore, so it’s a bit rough.
Sunday the 19th afternoon sees a glass-off with a long 17-second SSW groundswell at 3ft. Clean, long lines.
Looking into the second week, Tuesday the 21st morning has 5ft with glass, and Wednesday the 22nd is back to 7ft from the SW, glassy all day, with strong energy (1288). That’s another top day for experienced surfers.
Thursday the 23rd morning stays glassy with 5ft.
By Friday the 24th, it’s dropping to 4ft and the afternoon turns poor.
Best bets: Friday the 17th for the biggest cleanest power, and Wednesday the 22nd for a slightly smaller but still excellent glassy session. Water is warm throughout, crowds are a possibility.

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.
