The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for our stretch of coast.

We've got a solid run of surf on the cards starting this Sunday, the 13th of September, stretching right through the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a bit on the smaller side, but the consistency and clean conditions make up for it. The real standout window is shaping up to be the middle of next week, with a noticeable bump in size and energy.

Let's kick things off Sunday morning at Quimixto. It's a reef setup, consistent, and fairly exposed to the swell. We're looking at a clean 3 ft of SW groundswell with a period of 13 seconds. The wind is glassy out of the NE at 3 mph, so expect smooth, clean faces. The water temp is feeling about average for this time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate at (312), perfect for a long, fun session. Afternoon sees a drop in height and a shift to a cross-wind, making it more of a gamble.

Monday morning the 14th offers more of the same goodness: 2 ft SW swell with an 18-second period, and again, glassy conditions. The energy is picking up a bit to (467). The afternoons will be a write-off thanks to light cross-onshore breezes.

Now, here’s where it gets good. Tuesday the 15th is the first real standout. The morning is absolutely mint: 4 ft of SSW groundswell, a 16-second period, and dead calm winds. The energy is ramping up into strong territory at (725). Expect excellent, well-shaped waves. The wind stays favorable through the morning, making this the pick of the early run. The following morning, Wednesday the 16th, is a near repeat with 4 ft SSW swell and glassy NE winds. The energy hits (945) – that’s some proper grunt in the water. These two mornings are your absolute best bet for clean, powerful surf.

Thursday and Friday mornings will still be fun, with similar swell sizes but a bit more wind influence, keeping the quality just a notch below the standouts. The weekend of the 19th and 20th sees the swell drop back to around 3 ft, but the conditions turn pristine again with glassy mornings. Saturday the 19th morning and Sunday the 20th morning are both excellent calls for a relaxed paddle.

Looking into the second week, Monday the 21st of September morning is another cracker. A clean 4 ft SW swell with a 17-second period and glassy NNE winds, with energy at (1028). That’s a lot of water moving. Tuesday the 22nd morning is also a good shout with 4 ft and glassy conditions.

From Wednesday the 23rd onward, the swell drops a little, settling around the 3 ft to 4 ft mark, but the mornings stay clean and offer decent surf right through to the 28th. The energy levels are moderate, so nothing too intimidating.

If you can only pick one session, make it the morning of Tuesday the 15th or Wednesday the 16th for the best combination of size, power, and perfect wind. The early mornings are definitely the key; the afternoons are largely a write-off due to onshore breezes.

Stay stoked.

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.
