The Lowdown

Let's get this outlook rolling. We’ve got a nice run of surf coming up here at Quimixto. It’s a reef setup that’s pretty consistent, which is always a good start. The water’s running real warm, about 89°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.

This first stretch, starting Tuesday the 15th, is looking sweet. We’ve got a clean 4ft of swell pushing in from the SSW with a long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and with glassy conditions and light winds, the waves are going to be lining up nicely. It’s a solid 725 combined energy reading, and honestly, this might be the pick of the week. The morning sessions are the go-to here; the afternoons get a bit dicey with the chance of thunderstorms and a bit of cross-onshore breeze.

Wednesday the 16th keeps that energy going. Morning’s still clean with that 4ft SSW swell and a 16-second period, pushing the energy up to 945. It’s going to be good out there. The afternoon does get a little lumpy with a light cross-onshore wind, but the morning is where it’s at.

Thursday the 17th, the swell eases slightly in period to 14 seconds, but there’s still about 4ft on offer. The wind is a bit more cross-on, so the surf won’t be as flawless, but it’s still a solid, rideable day.

Friday the 18th, we see the size drop to 3ft, but the period jumps back up to a very long 19 seconds. With the winds going calm and glassy in the morning, it’s going to be a beautifully clean, lined-up day. This long period might make it break a little straight at the beach, but at a reef like Quimixto, it’s going to be fun.

The weekend rolls in with some fun waves. Saturday the 19th has 3ft with clean glass in the am, and the afternoon goes cross-off, actually cleaning it up a bit more. Sunday the 20th, the morning is the winner with a calm wind and 3ft of clean SW swell. The energy is building back up to 995, so the potential is there.

Now, looking further out—Monday the 21st—we could be onto something. The swell builds back up to 4ft from the SW with a 17-second period, and with zero wind in the morning, it looks like it could be the standout session of the whole run. The energy reading is at 1022, which is strong. This is the one to keep an eye on.

After that, we see a gradual downward trend. Tuesday the 22nd has 4ft and still clean in the morning, but the period drops a bit. From Wednesday the 23rd through the 25th, the size hovers around the 3ft mark with shorter periods. It’s still surfable, with clean conditions here and there, but not as punchy as the days before.

The following week, the 26th and 27th, things get a little more challenging. The swell stays around 3ft, but the winds turn more cross-on. The afternoon of the 27th looks poor with a stronger breeze and some chop, so pick your sessions carefully. It’s not a full flat spell, but it loses that quality.

The last couple of days of the month see the swell wind down to around 2ft to 3ft, but the period gets long again. It might be small, but on a good tide and clean conditions, it could still be worth a paddle.

Overall, the standout is that Monday the 21st morning session, with the 15th and 16th being excellent too. The long periods are a real feature here, so the reef will be working its magic. Just keep an eye on those afternoon storms.

Alright, that’s the rundown.

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.
