The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on offer for Quimixto.
The upcoming 16 days have a real mixed bag of conditions. The action gets underway on the afternoon of the 29th of July, but it’s a bit of a stormy start with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-on breeze. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 89°, which is nice.
The real standout window is the morning of the 30th of July. That Thursday morning is looking glassy, totally calm, with a 5ft SSW swell. The energy is strong (1044), and with the wind dead flat, it’s going to be clean and beautiful for a beginner-friendly reef break. The direction is a perfect match for the optimum. That’s the session to aim for.
The following morning, Friday the 31st, is also worth a paddle. It’s a little smaller at 4ft from the SSW, but with glassy conditions again, it’ll be clean and fun. After that, the swell drops off and the wind turns messy through the weekend and into the start of the week. There’s a gap of poor conditions from the 1st of August through to the 5th of August, with only tiny, weak swell and cross-onshore winds.
Things start to pick up again on the morning of the 6th of August. It’s small, 2ft, but glassy and clean with a moderate energy (297). Then it builds through the 7th, 8th, and 9th, but the wind is messy and the tide conditions look questionable.
The best bet in the second week is the morning of the 10th of August. That Monday is glassy, with a super clean 2ft SW swell. The period is a very long 20 seconds, which means it’s a proper groundswell. This kind of long period is best on a reef like Quimixto, but it’s worth noting that it can be a bit straight for some setups. The morning of the 11th is also a standout for the experienced surfer. It’s still glassy, with a 4ft, 18-second SW groundswell and strong energy (1380). That’s a powerful, clean session.
So, bottom line: Thursday morning the 30th of July is the undeniable pick of the first week. For the second week, keep an eye on the 10th and 11th of August, but those are a bit further out, so the details might shift.
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.
