Yo, what’s up? It’s Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming together for Quimixto.

Look, it’s a bit of a slow start here. The first few days are real marginal – the swell is small, around 4ft from the SSW, but the wind is a light cross-onshore, leaving that surface a bit rippled. It’s not the cleanest, and the wave energy is moderate. Honestly, not something to get too excited about. This stretch from Friday the 10th through the weekend is pretty quiet, with no standout surf. Just a few small, messy lines.

But hang in there. We’ve got a shift coming early next week. Monday the 13th morning, the wind goes glassy, dead calm, and we’ve got a 4ft SSW groundswell with a nice 14-second period. The water is *much* warmer than normal for this time of year – about 88°. That’s a big anomaly, more than 5° above average, so it’s notably warm. The energy drops a bit, but the clean conditions make it worth a paddle. That glassy spell continues into Tuesday the 14th morning with 3ft. The real standout, though, is likely Tuesday afternoon: a 3ft SW groundswell but with a long 18-second period, and the wind goes light cross-offshore, giving us clean, lined-up waves. For a reef break like this, that long period is money – better shaped waves, longer waits between sets, and easier paddling. This is a solid, rewarding session if you’re patient.

Now, for the real highlight of the whole outlook. Look at Saturday the 18th morning. We’ve got 3ft swell from the SW, a 17-second period, dead calm glassy wind, and good energy levels. The file calls this "very good surf conditions." That long period groundswell on a reef set-up? That’s the one to circle. Sunday the 19th is also glassy and clean, with 4ft SW swell and a similar long period. Both are standouts for sure.

The energy builds further into the following week. Monday the 20th morning has a clean 4ft SW swell (16s). Tuesday the 21st keeps that glassy morning vibe. By Wednesday the 22nd, the swell picks up to 6ft from the S with a shorter 10-second period, but it’s clean with offshore wind. That’s a bit more punch, but still manageable.

Then we get a chunky pulse on Thursday the 23rd morning. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSW with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is massive. That is serious size. For a reef break, that’s expert territory. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it won’t be perfect, and it’s definitely not for beginners. Friday the 24th drops back to 6ft but with onshore winds, so it gets messy.

Finally, we close out the forecast week with a fantastic Saturday the 25th morning: 4ft from the WSW, dead calm glassy conditions, and the afternoon brings a tiny 2ft swell but with an insane 21-second period and clean cross-offshore wind. That low tide, long period groundswell will produce some really fun, drawn-out lines on the reef. A great way to finish.

So, if you’re picking a best day, I’d say Saturday the 18th morning is the standout – glassy, long period, clean. Sunday the 19th and Saturday the 25th morning are also top-notch. The 8ft Thursday the 23rd is for the big dogs only.

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.
