The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off now, but it’s not for the faint of heart. The first standouts are for experienced surfers only, with a big, powerful SSW groundswell rolling in. The wave energy is massive (2583), and the period is a very long 17 seconds, so these are proper lines with plenty of grunt. Quimixto is a reef break, which is a good thing here – a long period like that tends to throw straight walls at beach breaks, but on a reef it’ll hold shape better. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird.

The best of the best is Monday morning, July 27th. Glassy conditions, that 7ft SSW swell, and that 17-second period. It’s a big, clean, powerful wave. Just remember, at 7ft, it’s already over 5ft, so this is not a beginner wave. The crowd situation is “sometimes,” so you might get a few out, but with that size, it’ll thin out the pack.

Tuesday morning, July 28th, still has a 7ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, but the wind is a light cross-onshore, putting a little bump on it. It’s surfable, but Monday’s glass is the real winner.

We get another chance on Wednesday morning, July 29th. Drop to 6ft, still that 16-second period, and glassy again. The energy is still strong (1793), so it’s another excellent session for those who handle the size.

Thursday morning, July 30th, the swell drops to 5ft, period drops to 14 seconds, but it’s glassy. The energy is still moderate (1094). This is a good step-down day for the strong intermediates.

After that, the swell slowly fades through the weekend and into the next week. Friday morning, July 31st, is small and glassy with 4ft, but the energy is fading (640). Saturday morning, August 1st, is similarly small and glassy, but only 3ft. From there, it drops into the 2ft range for a few days, with very ordinary conditions. That’s a solid gap of small, weak surf from about Sunday, August 2nd, through Thursday, August 6th.

Now, for the second week, there’s a promising return. Thursday afternoon, August 6th, we see a new pulse of SSW swell, 3ft but with a very long 18-second period, and glassy. The energy jumps back to 529. It’s small, but that period is a good sign. Friday morning, August 7th, is the standout of the second week. 3ft SSW, 18-second period, glassy, and the energy is up to 852. It’s smaller than the first week, but that period is exquisite, and clean conditions will make it a joy on the reef. Saturday morning, August 8th, keeps it going with 4ft, 16-second period, and glassy, though the energy is a bit lower (775). This is good, clean surf, but like everything more than a week out, treat it as promising, not a guarantee.

After that, Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th keep the small, clean swell going, but it’s fading again. The last mention is Tuesday morning, August 11th, with 3ft and glassy, but the energy is weak (265) and the conditions are just “ordinary.”

So, the bottom line: the first week has a couple of cracking days for the experienced crew. The second week looks like a quieter, but still very clean, period for the reef. You’ll have to pick your moments.

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.
