The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, starting with Monday morning. The water is sitting at 89°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in just boardshorts.

Monday, 13 July kicks it off at Quimixto with a clean 4ft swell from the SSW, period 14 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell with good energy (520). The wind is glass, dead calm. It’s a beginner-friendly reef break, and it’s consistent, so this is a great session to get your feet wet. The afternoon holds up too, with glassy conditions and a 3ft swell.

Tuesday, 14 July keeps the good times rolling. Morning glass again with a 3ft SSW swell, and the afternoon switches to a longer period 18-second swell from the SW at 3ft. That long period stuff really suits a reef like this.

Wednesday, 15 July morning is still clean with a 2ft SSW swell, but the afternoon turns a bit onshore – not ideal, but still surfable.

Thursday, 16 July and Friday, 17 July are smaller and more ordinary. The energy drops off, and the conditions are mixed. A bit of a lull.

Saturday, 18 July morning is a standout with glassy conditions and a 3ft SW swell at 17 seconds. That’s a long period, putting good shape into the wave (energy 606). The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore, but the morning is worth the early alarm.

Sunday, 19 July morning is the first real highlight of the run. We’ve got a 4ft SW swell, period 17 seconds, and the energy is pumping at 986. The wind is cross-offshore, so the waves will be clean and lined up. This is the best session on offer for the first week. The afternoon gets a bit messy with that cross-on wind, so get on it early.

Monday, 20 July is another cracker. The morning is flat calm, glass, with a 4ft SW swell at 16 seconds. Energy is 977. The afternoon is also glassy with the same 4ft swell. This is a serious contender for the best of the whole forecast.

Tuesday, 21 July morning is a bit cross-on, but the afternoon turns glass again with a 4ft SW swell. That’s clean, fun, and consistent.

Wednesday, 22 July morning is a big one. 5ft SW swell, 12-second period, and the energy hits 1277. This is a solid, powerful swell. The wind is light and glassy. This is for the intermediate to advanced crew – it’s a bit too much for beginners. The afternoon stays big but gets a bit cross-shore.

Thursday, 23 July morning has 5ft from the WSW, glassy, and still a strong energy reading (925). Another excellent session.

Friday, 24 July morning is glassy with 5ft from the SSW, but the period is a shorter 10 seconds. Still good, just not as much push.

Saturday, 25 July morning is a wildcard. Only 3ft, but the period is a massive 21 seconds. That’s very long period groundswell. At a reef, this will produce some beautiful, clean lines. Energy is 1079. Get there early, because the afternoon drops right off.

Sunday, 26 July and Monday, 27 July mornings both have glassy conditions with 4ft SW swells and long periods (18-19 seconds). Energy is high (1126 and 1089). These are classic, clean reef waves.

Tuesday, 28 July is the final day in the forecast. It’s a bit more onshore, so the quality drops, but there’s still 3ft of swell to play with.

Overall, the standout days are Sunday 19 July morning, Monday 20 July, and Wednesday 22 July morning. The 22nd will be the biggest and most powerful, so only for the experienced crew. The 19th and 20th are the sweet spot – clean, fun, and not too huge.

Crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Quimixto, so you might get a few others out, but it’s not a circus.

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.
