The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty ordinary. Monday morning the 3rd and Tuesday morning the 4th are glassy but the swell is tiny, only 2ft, with moderate energy (150-162). It's surfable but nothing to write home about. We get a bit of a bump from Wednesday the 5th onwards, with the swell picking up to 2ft and then 3ft on Thursday the 6th. That Thursday morning is looking good, glassy conditions with a solid 3ft SSW swell and moderate energy (347). That's a nice little window for a quiet session.
Now, the real standout is shaping up for Friday the 7th through Sunday the 9th. Friday morning is a beauty: 3ft of SSW groundswell with a very long 18-second period, glassy offshore wind, and strong energy (695). This is the pick of the window. The long period means it'll be a proper groundswell, offering clean, powerful lines at Quimixto – a reef setup that handles this direction beautifully. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. Saturday morning is almost as good, with 4ft of SSW swell and very strong energy (879), and the wind is glassy. Sunday morning holds steady with 4ft of SSW swell and strong energy (584), again glassy.
The afternoons during this stretch are a bit more mixed, with some cross-onshore winds, but the mornings are where it's at. There's a consistent run of glassy mornings from the 10th through the 13th, with swell sizes holding around 3ft to 3ft and moderate to strong energy, so it's not a one-hit wonder. The session on the 11th Tuesday morning is excellent, with a 3ft SW groundswell at 18 seconds and glassy conditions.
Looking further out, the 14th Friday morning is a sleeper: 4ft of SW groundswell at 18 seconds, very strong energy (944), and glassy wind. That's a serious prospect for the second week, though it's a bit far out to get too excited. After that, the swell drops back a touch for the 15th and 16th, but there are still clean, glassy mornings with 3ft to 3ft of SSW swell.
Overall, the best bet is Friday morning, August 7th, and Saturday morning, August 8th, for the cleanest, most powerful surf. The 14th also looks promising if you're planning ahead.
Stay stoked,
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.
