The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one main spot on the radar, and it’s about to deliver a solid window for those who can handle a bit of power.

The action kicks off on Tuesday the 28th of July. We’re looking at a nice long-period groundswell rolling in from the SSW, around 6 ft, with a period of 17 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell with heaps of energy (2740), so you’ll feel the weight of it. The water temp is sitting at 89°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – pretty nice actually. Tuesday morning at Quimixto (reef) is the standout here: glassy conditions with a light NNE breeze at 3 mph, making for clean, inviting lines. This is the best on offer, but keep in mind the long period will make it break a little straight at times, so it’s best suited to experienced surfers – it’s over 5 ft and heading toward 7 ft.

Tuesday afternoon sees the breeze swing to a light cross-onshore, so the surface gets a little bumpy, but it's still surfable. Wednesday the 29th of July is another good morning: 6 ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and glassy again with a light NE breeze. The energy is still strong (1633). By the afternoon, the wind goes cross and there’s a risk of thunderstorms, so the quality drops off.

Thursday the 30th of July is interesting: the swell drops to 5 ft from the SSW, still 14 seconds, and the morning is dead flat calm with 0 mph wind – true glass. This is a contender for the best session if you want something a bit less heavy than Tuesday, but the energy is still moderate (1056). The afternoon gets a cross-shore breeze again.

From Friday the 31st of July onwards, the swell steadily fades. Mornings stay glassy with light variable breezes, but the wave height drops from 4 ft down to about 2 ft by Sunday the 2nd of August. The energy drops into the low hundreds, so we’re looking at weak, small surf through the start of August.

There is a bit of a gap with nothing of any real quality for a few days. We see a small pickup around the 7th and 8th of August with SSW swell coming back up to around 4 ft, but the winds turn cross-onshore and the period drops, making it marginal. The best of this second week is likely the morning of Sunday the 9th of August: 4 ft SSW swell, clean glassy conditions, and the long period is gone (14 seconds), so it’s more user-friendly. Still, it’s not the size or power of the first round.

The end of the run from the 10th of August onward is small and ordinary, with mostly knee-to-waist high waves on offer.

Bottom line: if you’ve got the skills, point the board at Quimixto on Tuesday the 28th or Thursday the 30th of July mornings. The crowds can show up there sometimes, but the quality is worth it.

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.
