The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf coming up for us.

This outlook is all about one spot: Quimixto. It’s a consistent reef break that’s beginner-friendly, and it’s got a good run of waves over the next couple of weeks, though the mornings are where the magic is. The water temp is feeling pretty normal for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

We’ve got a bit of a gap right now. The first decent window kicks off on the morning of Sunday, the 13th of September. It’s small, with a 3ft SW swell, but the wind is glassy, making it clean and fun for a learner session. The combined wave energy is moderate at 311.

The real standout in this whole forecast is Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th of September. On Tuesday morning, we’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the SSW with a solid 16-second period and glassy conditions – zero wind. That’s a beautiful combo, and the combined energy is strong at 723. Wednesday morning is even better, with a 4ft SSW swell, a 16-second period, and absolute glass. Energy jumps to 937, and the conditions are prime for this reef. This is the best on offer, hands down.

Now, for the rest of the run. The mornings are consistently the go. Thursday the 17th morning is a bit cross-on with a 4ft SW swell, but it’s still surfable. Then we get back into glassy mornings from Friday the 18th through Sunday the 20th of September. Friday morning is a clean 3ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period. Saturday and Sunday mornings stay glassy with 3ft SW swell and 17-18 second periods, with energy pushing up near 1000. Long period swells like that mean better shaped waves and longer waits between sets – perfect for a reef like this.

We’ve got a few more glassy mornings in the second week. Monday the 21st morning has offshore wind but a lot of energy at 1025. Tuesday the 22nd morning is glassy with 4ft SW swell. Wednesday the 23rd morning is glassy with 4ft SW swell. Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th mornings are also glassy, with smaller 3ft swell. And then, on the Sunday the 27th of September morning, the swell jumps up to 5ft from the SSE with a 16-second period and glassy winds. That’s a powerful one, with combined energy at 1965 – that’s excellent for experienced surfers but maybe too much for beginners.

The afternoons here are generally a no-go. They get cross-on breezes and risk of thunderstorms, killing the quality. Stick to the dawn patrols.

If you’re a beginner, the sweet spot is the 3ft to 4ft glassy mornings early in the outlook. For the more seasoned crew, that 4ft to 5ft glassy stuff in the second week is where it gets interesting.

This break can get crowded sometimes, so be ready to share the peak.

Stay stoked.

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.
