Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow starter, but there's a solid stretch of clean waves if you're patient.
We're looking at Quimixto, a beginner-friendly reef break that's fairly consistent. The water's way warmer than usual for this time of year, sittin' at 88°F with a big anomaly, so ditch the steamer, you'll be fine in boardshorts.
The first real action kicks off Sunday the 5th in the afternoon, but it's not great—a risk of t-storms and cross-shore wind, with a 4ft SSW swell at 16 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1060), but the conditions are marginal. Not worth paddling out for.
Monday the 6th morning is where it starts to get interesting. We've got a glassy, slight air morning with a 4ft SSW swell, long 16-second period, and a combined energy of 1318. It's clean, it's consistent, and the waves should be fun for all levels. This is a standout session.
Tuesday the 7th morning is the true gem of the forecast. Another glassy morning, this time with a 4ft SSW swell, an 18-second period (groundswell), and the combined energy jumps to 1612. It's gonna be excellent, especially for experienced surfers who can handle that long-period punch. The reef setup here will handle that long-period energy beautifully, giving you proper, shaped-up waves. If you can get out there, this is the one.
The rest of the week holds clean surf. Wednesday the 8th has a clean morning (cross-off) and a glassy afternoon, both with 5ft SSW swell at 16 seconds. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are glassy, too, with 5ft and 4ft SSW swells. The combined energy is dropping from 1010 down to 742, but it's still moderate-strong, and glassy conditions make up for it.
By Saturday the 11th, the morning's still glassy, but the afternoon gets a cross-on wind. Not ideal, but still surfable. Sunday the 12th is onshore and marginal—best to take that day off.
Monday the 13th sees a return of clean surf with a 4ft SSW swell, offshore wind in the morning, and cross-off in the afternoon. Combined energy is moderate at 522-711. Nice little window.
After that, into the second week, the swell drops off. Tuesday the 14th has a glassy morning with a 2ft SW swell, and the energy drops to 509. It's surfable, but small. For the rest of the week, from Wednesday 15th through Sunday 20th, the swell hovers around 2ft to 4ft, with most days carrying cross-on winds or marginal conditions. The combined energy stays below 874, often much lower. There are a few clean moments—like the morning of Wednesday 15th (glassy, 2ft) and Monday 20th morning (glassy, 2ft)—but it's small.
The best bet is that Tuesday the 7th morning session. Get on it.
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.
