Table - best surf conditions forecast for Quimixto over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a solid, drawn-out run of surf coming up at Quimixto, a beginner-friendly reef break that’s fairly exposed to the swell. It’s a consistent little spot, but crowds are sometimes a factor, so you might have to share the waves. The water is sitting at 88° right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a proper anomaly.
We kick off Tuesday morning (July 7th) with a beauty. The swell is 4 ft from the SSW with a long period of 18 seconds, giving it some serious push and shape. Combined wave energy is strong at 1567. The wind is glassy out of the NE at just 3 mph, so the surface is going to be as clean as it gets. This is the standout of the whole window if you ask me. Tuesday afternoon sees a shift: the swell bumps up to 6 ft, but the wind turns cross-shore from the west, making it a bit messier.
Wednesday morning (July 8th) is another cracker – 5 ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period, no wind, glassy conditions. Combined energy is still pumping at 1312. Wednesday afternoon holds at 5 ft with clean glassy wind. Thursday morning (9th) stays clean with 5 ft SSW swell and light cross-offshore wind. After that, the swell starts to trickle down a bit.
Friday morning (10th) is worth a paddle: 4 ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and glassy conditions. It’s consistent with 776 combined energy. Saturday (11th) and Sunday (12th) get a bit ragged with more cross-on wind and the swell dropping. Monday (13th) morning has 3 ft and glassy conditions but lower energy at 447. Tuesday (14th) morning drops to 2 ft from the SW with an 18-second period, glassy, but the energy is weak at 506.
The second week starts to fade, but there are still some fun windows. Wednesday (15th) morning is small at 2 ft, but the afternoon cleans up with 3 ft SW swell and cross-offshore wind. Saturday (18th) has a glassy morning with 2 ft SW swell and a very long 18-second period, energy at 450. Then we get a bit of a pulse on Sunday morning (19th) – 3 ft SW swell, 18-second period, glassy, with 776 combined energy. Monday afternoon (20th) looks good again: 4 ft SW swell, 16-second period, glassy, energy at 937. Tuesday (21st) morning is a standout in the later run – 4 ft SW swell, 15-second period, zero wind, glassy, with 768 energy.
Wednesday (22nd) rounds it out with the same 4 ft SW swell, glassy mornings and afternoons. All in all, Quimixto has a solid run of clean, manageable surf, with Tuesday morning (7th) as the absolute peak and Tuesday (21st) morning as a strong follow-up option. Just keep an eye on those occasional storm risks in the afternoons, and remember the water is way warmer than usual.
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.
