The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, switching over to the old school numbers.

For the next couple of weeks, it’s all about Quimixto. This reef is where you need to be. The water is a balmy 88°, a little toastier than normal for this season, so the wetty is optional.

We get going proper on Monday morning, September 7th. That’s your green light. There's about 4ft of SSW groundswell with a 14-second period – that's proper lines. The wind is glassy out of the NE, barely a breath. It’s going to be clean, with wave energy at "873". This is your first big call.

Monday afternoon shifts to a light cross-off, still clean enough. Tuesday morning the 8th drops to 4ft and a light cross-on starts to wrinkle the surface, so the morning window is what you want.

Wednesday the 9th brings 3ft of SSW swell, but the period stretches to 16 seconds. That's long period groundswell. Glassy again in the morning, the energy is a solid "625".

Thursday the 10th is a cracker. 4ft of SW swell, 16-second period, and dead calm in the morning. It doesn't get much cleaner than that for the reef. That's your top pick for the first week.

The weekend of the 12th drops off in size and quality, but the mornings are still the go.

Then, Monday the 15th fires back up. 4ft of SSW swell, glassy offshores, and the energy jumps to "759". Tuesday the 16th is the same story – 4ft in the morning, glassy. Another standout.

Keep an eye on Thursday the 18th. Only 3ft of SW swell, but the period jumps to a very long 20 seconds. On a reef, that’s magic. The energy is "746", and it will unload perfectly.

The last big call is Monday, September 22nd. Clean and glassy, 4ft of SW swell with a 16-second period. Energy is "740". If you can get out that morning, you’ll be smiling.

This spot is a reef, so expect a defined take-off and long walls. It breaks consistently. You might see a few others out *sometimes*, but on those glassy mornings it won’t be a zoo. Watch out for the 4ft-plus days if you’re new to it. This is all about quality over size.

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.
