The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, looking straight at the charts for Quimixto over the next couple of weeks. Let me tell you, this spot is looking pretty special, especially right out of the gate.

The overall pattern is a classic setup: a nice pulse of clean, fun-sized swell to kick things off, before it settles into smaller but still super clean conditions through the middle of the month. You’ve got a bit of a lull in wave quality on the 5th and 6th, with a stretch of marginal, cross-onshore stuff, but patience pays off because the windows of glassy calm are what make this place worth it.

For the standout, right now, honestly, you’ve got to be looking at Wednesday morning, September 2nd. That morning session at Quimixto is calling for a solid 2.5m of SSW swell. The combined energy of all swells directed here is pumping at 1937, that's strong energy. Wind is slight air and cross-offshore, which is going to groom the reef beautifully. Now, that size is for experienced surfers only, but for the crew who can handle it, this is the pick of the forecast.

First up though, you’ve got Tuesday morning, September 1st. It’s a fantastic start—water temp is sitting at 31°, which is a touch warmer than normal, so you’re in for a warm bath. Swell is a clean 0.9m from the SSW with a period of 13 seconds and the wind is dead glass, calm. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a moderate 376. This is the perfect beginners’ opener, clean early, sliding into a nice little rip bowl.

Tuesday afternoon sees a bump in size to 1.2m from the S, with some cross-offshore breeze keeping it clean. A little bit of storm risk, but the energy bumps up to 587, so still a fun afternoon paddle.

Then that Wednesday morning, September 2nd peak I told you about: 2.5m at 11 seconds from the SSW. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 1937. It’s a lot of water moving, but with that slight cross-off wind it’s going to wall up nice and steep. Afternoon gets a bit crossed up and messy, so morning is the call.

Thursday morning, September 3rd is another glassy dawn patrol with 1.2m of SW groundswell, but get this—the period jumps to 18 seconds. That is very long period. Combined energy of all swells directed here is 1521. That’s the kind of groundswell that will bend around the point and give you long, lined-up walls. This is a reef break and it handles this perfectly, so longer gaps between sets, better shape. Afternoon gets a light cross-onshore bump, so hit it early.

Friday the 4th keeps the goodness going: morning has 1.7m from the SSW at 16 seconds, glassy, clean, with combined energy of all swells directed here at 2090. A bit much for a learner, but a ripper for the core crew.

After that, things drop off a bit. The 5th and 6th (Saturday and Sunday) are smaller and mostly cross-on, with energy down to the 1200-1800 range but the wind just isn't doing us any favors. Monday the 7th brings a reprieve—glassy morning with 1.4m from the W at 12 seconds, energy at 1127—and that carries into the afternoon with a clean cross-off breeze.

From the 8th through the 16th, the surf is definitely smaller, hovering around the 0.6m to 1.2m mark. But here’s the thing: most mornings are glass or near glass. You’ve got Tuesday the 8th at 0.9m glass, Wednesday the 9th at 0.9m glass, Thursday the 10th at 1.2m glass with 16 second SW groundswell and combined energy of all swells directed here at 847, Friday the 11th at 1.1m glass, Saturday the 12th at 1.0m glass, Monday the 14th at 0.6m glass, Tuesday the 15th at 0.8m glass, and Wednesday the 16th at 0.8m glass. The afternoons get a bit of a sea breeze, but if you’re a morning person, Quimixto is serving up clean lines on a silver platter for most of the run.

Expect some crowds here, especially on those clean glassy mornings. It says the crowds can be there sometimes, so get out early for your share.

Stay happy, keep your lineups tight.

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.
