Table - best surf conditions forecast for Quimixto over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Quimixto (Mexico). We've got a bit of a slow start, but some absolute magic on the horizon.
The first few days are a bit of a tease. Sunday the 12th is a write-off with poor conditions and a weak, messy 4ft SSW swell. Monday the 13th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning is glassy with a clean 4ft SSW swell, but the real standout early in the week is Monday afternoon. The wind goes light and cross-offshore, cleaning up a 3ft SSW swell. The combined energy is a solid 690, and it's feeling very good. Tuesday the 14th morning is also a gem with glassy conditions on a 3ft SSW swell.
Now, hold onto your board shorts. The best of the first week is undeniably Thursday the 16th morning. We’re looking at a glassy 7ft SSW swell with a combined energy of 1362. That's some serious power, and the description says it's excellent for experienced surfers. This is a big, clean swell, and it's going to be a proper session for those who can handle it. Friday the 17th morning is almost identical but even a touch bigger at 8ft from the SW. That's expert territory, but with glassy conditions, it's a true standout. The swell is a 12-second period, which is a solid groundswell.
We get a bit of a lull after that, with cleaner but smaller waves through the weekend and into the start of the next week. The 20th and 21st offer some very good, glassy conditions on chest-high SW swell, perfect for a longer, more relaxed session.
But the real killer is the final week. The pattern from the 24th of July to the 27th of July is absolutely firing. The 24th afternoon is a standout with a 7ft SW swell and clean cross-offshore wind. Then the 25th of July is monstrous. The combined energy on Saturday afternoon hits 2261, with a 5ft SW swell and a 20-second period. That is a very long period groundswell, and it’s glassy. This is a serious, powerful swell. It’s going to be breaking with incredible shape and lots of energy, but at a reef break like Quimixto, that long period will be a dream. The 26th and 27th of July continue this run of excellent, glassy conditions with solid 5ft to 6ft SW swell. This whole stretch from the 24th to the 27th is the clear highlight of the 16-day outlook.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Just a regular warm Mexican bath.
Stay safe, respect the locals, and if you see a 8ft glassy morning, you don't hesitate.
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.
