Table - best surf conditions forecast for Quimixto over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a slow start, but it builds to something truly special, so don’t write this one off.
Right now, it’s looking pretty flat and average. The first solid window of surf we’re seeing doesn’t really kick off until the morning of Friday the 11th, and even then, it’s only marginal. We’re talking small, short period swell, nothing to get excited about.
The first real taste of something decent comes early on Monday the 13th. The morning session at Quimixto starts to turn the corner. The swell is small, only around 4ft from the SSW, but the wind is dead calm—glass. That’s the main positive here. The combined wave energy is still weak at (515), but it’s clean. The water temp is a very unusual 88°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need a spring suit but the humidity is high.
From there, we get a run of small but clean conditions through the middle of the week. The morning of Thursday the 17th is the first standout in this run. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the S, with a period of 11 seconds. Winds are glassy again, and the energy jumps to a moderate (675). It’s a nice, clean morning for a longboard or a funboard.
But the real story is what’s coming in the second week. The morning of Monday the 21st has a solid 12ft SSW groundswell, period up to 12 seconds. That’s big, powerful wave energy at (3849), and it’s absolutely glassy. That’s experienced surfer territory. Then the morning of Wednesday the 23rd is the absolute pick of the entire outlook. We’re looking at a massive 20ft swell from the SW, with a 14-second period. The wave energy is incredibly high at (12751). Wind is glassy. This is exceptional, expert-only surf. The setup here is a reef, so this kind of long-period groundswell will work perfectly. Just know the crowds are possible at this spot.
Remember, any wave over 8ft is for experts only. The 12ft and 20ft days are serious water. If you’re not solid, sit this one out. It looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re not an expert.
So, to wrap it up: a slow start, a few clean but small days mid-week, and then a massive, powerful groundswell event right at the end. The morning of Wednesday the 23rd is the one to circle on your calendar.
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.
