The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf coming up at Quimixto.
Overall, we’ve got a decent run of waves stretching across the next couple of weeks, but the quality is a bit of a mixed bag, mainly due to building afternoon thunderstorm risk. The water is sitting at 89° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s gonna feel like bath water.
The first few days are small but clean. Sunday morning the 23rd looks like the first real standout. We’ve got a 3ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, and it’s glassy out of the ENE. That’s clean, lined-up waves on the reef with moderate energy (623). It won't be big, but it’ll be fun and uncrowded.
Monday morning the 24th is another glassy session with a 2ft SW swell, long 17-second period, and moderate energy (647). The reef setup will help that long period swell wrap in nicely.
Thursday morning the 3rd of September is one of the best on offer if you’ve got experience. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SSW, period at 19 seconds, and offshore wind out of the south. Clean conditions, and the combined energy is strong at 1939. This is more of an expert window.
Friday morning the 4th of September is the biggest of the run: 8ft SSW swell, 17-second period, glassy with light airs. That’s powerful stuff, with combined energy ripping at 3726. Only for experienced surfers—beginners should stay well clear.
Saturday afternoon the 5th of September also looks good for experienced crew: 5ft SSW groundswell, glassy, strong energy at 1537.
Overall, the windows with glass or offshore winds are the ones to lock in. The afternoons often get a cross or cross-on breeze and storm risk, but the mornings hold clean conditions. If you can only paddle out once, make it Thursday morning the 3rd of September.
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.
