The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's get into it.

We’ve got a 16-day window here, and the main event is definitely early on. The first few days offer the most size and energy, but the quality is a bit mixed. The good news is, there's a sweet spot of glassy, clean conditions to aim for, especially the mornings. The swell is coming from the SSW and SW, with some seriously long period groundswell in the mix, which is a treat for this reef break.

The standout session is gonna be Sunday the 6th of September. Early morning, Quimixto is showing a solid 5 ft swell from the SSW with a 15-second period. The combined energy is pumping at (1119) – moderate but packing a punch. But the real kicker? The wind is glassy. Dead flat, offshore from the SSE. That’s a recipe for perfection. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s like a bath. This is a beginner-friendly reef, so that 5 ft with glassy conditions is going to be some of the funnest, cleanest waves you'll find all week. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and lined up. Crowds are only sometimes here, so you might even get a few sets to yourself.

After that, the swell slowly backs off, but the quality remains good in the mornings. Thursday the 10th of September is another call-out. A 4 ft SW swell with a 16-second period rolls in, and the combined energy is moderate at (933). The wind is calm and glassy in the morning, and then it swings cross-offshore in the afternoon from the W. That's a clean, open face for you to carve on. The 4 ft is still a nice size for a beginner spot, and with that long period, it’ll hold up well.

The second week drops off in size. From around the 13th onwards, the swell drops below 3 ft, and the energy readings dip into the moderate range at (326 - 796). The period stays long, often over 15 seconds, which is great for the shape, but smaller. The mornings continue to offer glassy conditions, making it a good time for a longboard or a funboard. The 16th of September has a 3 ft southerly swell, glassy, and a strong energy reading of (796), making it a solid pick for a small-wave session. The 17th and 19th also have clean, glassy mornings with 4 ft and 3 ft respectively, and the combined energy is there.

There are no real gaps in the surf; it’s consistent. But the biggest, cleanest, most exciting windows are those first few days. Don't sleep on the 6th if you can get out.

Alright, that's the story from the water. Stay stoked.

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.
