The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the waves on offer for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a promising run of surf ahead, but it’s a slow start. The first real action worth paddling out for hits us on Monday, July 20, at Quimixto (Mexico). This spot is a consistent reef break, so it's got a good base to work with. The water is sitting at a warm 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s pretty pleasant.

The week kicks off with a solid, long-period groundswell. Monday morning sees a 4ft SW swell with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate (946). That's clean, lined-up reef waves, perfect for a beginner as the size is manageable. The wind is light and offshore, so expect some smooth faces. The afternoon picks up a cross-on breeze, so the quality dips, but it’s still a decent session.

The standout of the whole forecast, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Tuesday, July 28. The morning brings a 7ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is strong (3104). That’s a powerful, long-period groundswell for the reef. This is a setup that will really make the break line up, but at over 7ft, it’s for the experienced crew only. The afternoon stays clean with a light offshore, so the quality holds.

The next few days keep that pumping energy. Wednesday, July 29, and Thursday, July 30, both have excellent surf for experienced surfers with 6ft to 6ft SSW swells and glassy or offshore winds. The energy remains strong (2204 to 2523). This is a solid run.

After that, the swell starts to ease. Friday, August 1, and Saturday, August 2, drop down to 3ft to 4ft with glassy mornings. It’s still good for a smaller board session, but it’s no longer the standout.

A final note: the reef here is consistent, so it tends not to stay flat for long. The blank run at the start of the forecast is just a quiet spell before the real juice shows up.

So, the clear winner is the morning of Tuesday, July 28, with that big, powerful, glassy SSW swell. The rest of the week leading up to it is also excellent, but that Tuesday is the one to circle on the calendar.

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.
