Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s heading our way for the next couple of weeks. The water’s a warm 88°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be wanting the boardies.

The first bit of action kicks off this Saturday morning with a clean 4ft SSW swell, glassy conditions, and the combined wave energy sitting at a moderate 649. It’s a gentle opener, but the real quality shows up Sunday morning. The swell builds to 4ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 17 seconds, pushing the energy to 1067. With that glassy morning, you’re looking at chest-to-head high waves with some real grunt.

Monday morning is another beauty. The swell holds at 4ft from the SSW, the period is a meaty 16 seconds, and the energy climbs further to 1324. With zero wind, it’s going to be as perfect as it gets. Now, the true standout of this first week is Tuesday morning, July 7th. That’s the pick of the whole forecast. You’re looking at 4ft of SSW groundswell, an 18-second period, and the energy is a strong 1557. Dead calm, glassy. For experienced surfers, that reef is going to be an absolute dream. Powerful, lined-up sets, and the long gaps between them make paddling out a breeze.

Wednesday morning stays solid with 5ft from the SSW (energy 1313) and glassy conditions, though the energy drop hints the swell is easing. The mornings from Thursday through Saturday the 11th of July are still surfable with 4ft, but the period drops to 15 seconds and the wind texture gets a little messy.

We then hit a lull from Sunday the 12th through to Wednesday the 16th. The swell really backs off, dropping from 4ft down to just 2ft. It’s a flat spell, though there are a few clean early morning windows on the 13th and 16th if you want a tiny log session.

Then, on Friday the 17th of July, the ocean wakes up. The morning brings a solid 8ft SSW swell (energy 1572) and the afternoon hits a chunky 8ft (energy 2520). That’s a big, powerful swell with a 12-14 second period. The wind turns onshore in the afternoon though, so it’ll be raw. That’s expert-only territory on the reef. After that pulse, the weekend of the 18th and 19th settles back to a manageable 3ft from the SSW with clean windows and a long period. A nice way to finish.

So your absolute best bets are Tuesday morning, July 7th for the best quality, and Monday morning, July 6th is a close second. Just remember, Quimixto can get crowded, so get out there early for the cleanest waves.

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.
