The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the take on the surf.
We’ve got a good stretch of waves coming through at Quimixto. The first real chance to get wet is Monday morning, August 10th. It’s a consistent reef break that’s good for beginners, but there’s real quality in the mix. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing crazy.
The mornings to circle are Wednesday the 12th, Friday the 14th, and Saturday the 15th. The best of the bunch is Friday morning, August 14th. You’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the southwest with a long 18-second period – that’s real groundswell. The combined energy is solid at 1094 (moderate to strong), and it’s glassy. This will wrap into the reef clean. Keep in mind, crowds can show up here sometimes.
Saturday morning, August 15th, is also a top pick – 5ft from the southwest, 16-second period, glassy, with energy at 1149. Some more size, but still good. A close second for sure.
The rest of the first week holds clean mornings, mostly 3ft to 4ft, with that same southwest swell. The afternoons get a bit messy with cross-onshore winds and storm chances, so mornings are the way.
Heading into the second week, starting Monday the 17th, the swell stays consistent but drops a little. Mornings are still glassy and clean, with swell around 3ft to 4ft. Energy runs in the 400-600 range, so less power, but still fun. The pick here is Tuesday morning, August 18th – calm, glassy, 4ft from the south-southwest, with a 14-second period. Clean and long rides.
By the last weekend, August 22nd and 23rd, the swell gets smaller, down to 2ft to 3ft, but the mornings stay clean. You’ll want a bigger board, but it’s not a total loss.
Bottom line: the first week is the best, especially those Friday and Saturday mornings. Get out there.
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.
