The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and knots for you.
The water’s running at a balmy 89°, way warmer than usual for this time of year, so a spring suit is all you’ll need.
The first good surf hits on Wednesday, 2nd September. Wednesday morning is glassy with a light south wind at 3 mph, pushing a solid 8 ft swell from the SSW. The energy is cranked up high (2004). That’s a big, powerful wave with a 12-second period – expert only. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore WSW wind at 9 mph, and the swell holds at 8 ft.
Now, the real standout is Thursday, 3rd September. The morning is dead glassy with a light NE wind at 3 mph, and the swell drops to a much more user-friendly 4 ft from the SW. But the secret sauce is the period: an incredibly long 18 seconds. That’s going to wrap around the reef at Quimixto (Mexico) and produce some long, hungry lines. The combined energy is still strong (1514). The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze, but that morning window is the session of the forecast.
Friday, 4th September, brings a bump back up to 6 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The wind is cross-on all day, so it will be a bit bumpy, but there’s plenty of power (2108) for the guys who don’t mind a little chop.
The weekend and early next week ease off in size, but the quality holds. Sunday afternoon, 6th September, turns glassy again with a 4 ft SSW swell at 15 seconds. Monday, 7th September, is glassy in the morning with 4 ft from the SSW. Clean, fun waves for the experienced.
There’s a quiet patch mid-week, but it picks back up on Thursday, 10th September, with another glassy morning and 4 ft of 16-second SW swell. Mark that one down.
The second week is smaller, with swells dropping under 3 ft, but there are still some glassy mornings with long-period pulses. The 15th of September is dead calm with 3 ft from the SW at 16 seconds. The energy is lower (under 500), but it’ll be a great longboard morning.
The big winner? The morning of Thursday, 3rd September. Don’t miss it.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
