The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' right here in our neck of the woods.
Things are looking up, but it's a slow start. The first real surf on offer is a small, clean groundswell that arrives on Tuesday afternoon, but it's so marginal with the risk of thunderstorms that I'd say wait for the better stuff. You'll want to be in the water by Wednesday morning, the 26th of August. That's when the magic starts to happen.
The standout session for the first week is going to be Friday morning, the 28th of August. We've got a sweet, clean 3ft swell from the SSW, with a long 16-second period pushing in. The wind is offshore, light and perfect. The water is a warm 89°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath out there. The combined energy is moderate at 795, but it's the quality of the wave that'll get you. This is a great session for a beginner to get some clean, easy waves at Quimixto. It's a consistent reef break, so it doesn't break often, but when it does, it's a treat. Crowds are possible, but for a wave this good, it's worth sharing.
After that, we get a bit of a bump on Saturday, but the wind goes a bit cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit bumpy. The real firecracker is lurking in the second week. Mark your calendars for Monday, the 7th of September. That morning, we get a pulse of 8ft from the SSW. This is a big, powerful wave, and it's glassy clean with a light offshore wind. The energy is strong at 1984. This is for experienced surfers only – it's going to be a beast. The following morning, Tuesday the 8th, is even bigger at 8ft but with an even higher energy reading of 2272, and it's dead glassy. This is the absolute best on offer for the forecast period, but it's a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed. It's a consistent wave, so it tends not to stay flat for long, but a run of perfection like this is a real gift.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
