The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on offer down the coast.

Right off the bat, we're looking at a solid stretch of surf coming in. The first real action is kicking off on Sunday the 19th at Quimixto, which is a reef break that's fairly exposed to the swell. The water is at a warm 88°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, and the combined energy of all swells is a solid moderate 933.

Sunday morning is looking like a real treat. We've got a clean 4ft swell from the SW, with a very long period of 17 seconds, and the wind is dead glassy from the NE. This is going to be a proper glassy, clean surf. The crowd situation is "sometimes" here, so you might have to share a few, but it's a beginner-friendly reef break, so it's a good spot for all levels. The afternoon holds up with a smaller 2ft swell but still glassy winds, though there's a risk of thunderstorms.

Monday the 20th drops off a bit. The swell hangs around 4ft from the SW, but the wind turns cross-on, bringing in little ripples. It's still surfable, but not the standout.

Tuesday the 21st morning is back to glassy conditions with a 4ft, 15-second swell. That's a nice combo. The afternoon gets a bit messy with cross-on wind again.

The real standout, the one you've been waiting for, is the week starting Sunday the 26th. The morning of the 26th is a gem: 5ft of SW swell, 18-second period, dead calm glassy wind. The combined energy jumps to 1649, a very solid moderate. This is excellent for experienced surfers, and it's clean. The afternoon keeps it clean with a cross-off wind.

But the absolute best on offer? Look at Monday the 27th morning. A 6ft SSW swell, 18-second period, glassy NE wind, and the combined energy is a massive 3525. That's strong wave energy, and it's going to be pumping. Then Tuesday the 28th morning is even bigger, with 10ft of SSW swell, but the period drops to 14 seconds. At that size, it's only for experts, and the combined energy is a whopping 5751. Thursday the 30th is also a beauty, with clean offshore winds and 7ft to 7ft swell from the WSW, perfect for a proper session.

After that, the surf starts to wind down. The first week of August sees a drop in size, with smaller swells around 2ft to 3ft, but still with some clean windows, especially on the morning of the 3rd of August with a glassy calm and a 2ft, 17-second swell.

Overall, the first few days are good, but the absolute standout window is the 26th through the 30th, with the 27th and 28th being the peak. Don't sleep 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.
