The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the long-range look.
We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off this afternoon, all at Quimixto – a consistent reef break that’s a dream for beginners. The water is sitting at 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Starting Monday afternoon with a clean 4ft SSW swell, 14-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy is a solid moderate 745, so there’s plenty of power for a fun wave.
The next few mornings are where it’s at. Tuesday morning (8th) serves up a slightly smaller 3ft SSW swell, with a long 13-second period, and dead glassy conditions. Wednesday morning (9th) is looking similar: 3ft from the SW, but the period jumps to 16 seconds, bringing 678 units of energy and glassy winds again. Thursday morning (10th) is a standout: 4ft SW swell with a 16-second period and zero wind – total glass. That combined energy hits 910, so it’s got proper grunt. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings all stay clean with morning glass and swell holding in the 3ft to 4ft range.
The glassy, offshore-ish mornings are the whole game. The afternoons tend to get a bit of a cross-onshore breeze, so you want to be on it early. There’s a slight dip in quality midday from Saturday 13th through Monday 14th, but it picks right back up.
From Tuesday 15th September onward, the same pattern keeps rolling. Tuesday morning is a beauty: 4ft SSW, 16-second period, glassy. Wednesday morning 16th is another highlight with 4ft SSW swell and 946 units of energy under glass. Thursday 17th morning is clean with 4ft SSW and glass. Friday 18th morning has a 3ft SW swell but a very long 20-second period, building up to 821 units – that’s groundswell royalty for a point or reef. Saturday 19th morning remains clean with 3ft from the SW.
The very best on offer across this whole window are the mornings of Thursday 10th September (4ft, 16s, glass, 910 energy) and Wednesday 16th September (4ft, 16s, glass, 946 energy) – these are the true standouts. Both are bigger, clean, and have that long-period punch.
The last few days – Sunday 21st and Monday 22nd September mornings – still look promising with a 4ft SW swell and glassy wind, so the run of surf continues right to the end. Being that far out, things can change, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, this is a fantastic two-week stretch for Quimixto. Consistent glassy mornings and long-period SW swells are a dream for a reef break like this.

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.
