The Lowdown

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

First up, the water’s running hot. We’re talking about 88°F and a temperature anomaly of 4°F warmer than normal, which is seriously notable. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year.

The next few days are a bit of a slow burn, honestly. We’ve got a little bit of swell on Friday the 17th, with waves around 3ft from the SSW and a 12-second period, but the real story is the glassy conditions. That NE wind at 3 mph is a gift. The energy is moderate (365), and it’s a good little session for a beginner, but it’s not going to blow your mind.

Saturday the 18th morning is where it starts to get interesting. The swell drops to 3ft but the period jumps to 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy jumps up to moderate (598), and with glassy conditions, the reef at Quimixto could be clean and fun. That long period stuff loves a reef, so it should line up nicely.

The real standout, though, is shaping up for Wednesday the 22nd. The morning session is looking excellent. We’ve got a solid 7ft of swell from the SW, period of 14 seconds, and glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze. The combined energy is strong (1950). This is expert territory, no doubt about it – too big for beginners, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, this is the pick of the forecast. The only thing to watch is the afternoon, where the wind swings cross-onshore and the quality drops.

Another top-tier window is Saturday the 25th morning. It’s a bit smaller at 4ft, but the period is a very long 21 seconds, and the energy is strong (1359). Glassy conditions again. That long period will make the waves hollow and pushy, perfect for the reef. This is a morning for the experienced surfer to mark on the calendar.

Sunday the 26th is also a cracker. Both morning and afternoon have excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The swell sits at 5ft from the SSW with a 18-second period, and the wind is glassy in the morning and then clean and cross-off in the afternoon. Energy is strong (1696 and 1667). The afternoon session is particularly clean.

There’s a gap from the end of July into the first days of August where the surf drops off and the conditions become more marginal. The waves get smaller and the wind turns onshore, so don’t expect much.

To wrap it up: the best of the best is Wednesday the 22nd morning for the bigger, powerful swell, and Saturday the 25th morning for that long-period groundswell with perfect glass. Get on 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.
