The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here.
We’re looking at a solid southern hemi swell train for Quimixto (Jalisco, Mexico). It’s a reef break, consistent, good for beginners, and takes swell well. The water is 88°F right now, which is way warmer than normal, so you’ll be sweating in a spring suit.
The first few days are small. Tuesday afternoon kicks off with a clean 3ft SW swell at 18 seconds—long-period groundswell, moderate energy (677). Light cross-off wind, so it’s clean. Not a standout, but a nice start.
Wednesday is tiny and messy. Not worth it.
The real action starts Saturday the 18th. Saturday morning has 3ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds, glassy, with energy climbing (610). It’s good. Then Sunday the 19th is the first true standout. Morning gives you 4ft SW swell, still 17 seconds, glassy, energy at 878. That’s very good. The afternoon stays glassy.
Monday the 20th keeps the run going with a very good 4ft SW swell in the morning, glassy, energy at 861. Hit the dawn patrol.
Tuesday the 21st is another cracker: glassy, 4ft SSW swell, 12 seconds, energy at 954. Very good.
Wednesday the 22nd is the first big swell day. Morning glassy with 6ft SW swell at 12 seconds—strong energy (1136), but now it’s expert territory. Thursday and Friday have similar size but with shorter periods and onshore winds, so it’s blown out.
The standout of the whole forecast is Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 28th. Saturday the 26th morning is glassy, 4ft SSW swell at 18 seconds, energy at 1455—excellent for experienced surfers. Sunday the 28th morning is also glassy, 5ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, energy at 1461. Those are the two sessions you need to circle.
After that, the swell stays around 5ft to 5ft, but the wind gets messy in the afternoons. The mornings are your only shot at clean waves. The long-period swells will be running nicely down this reef.
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.
