The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the line for this stretch of coast. We’ve got a really solid run of surf building, nothing too crazy at first, but it’s gonna get punchy.

The first real action lights up on Thursday the 24th of July. We’re looking at Quimixto, and it’s waking up with a clean, glassy 3 ft SSW swell. The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels good. That morning session on Friday is the one to get in the water for – dead calm, offshore wind from the east at 0 km/h. It doesn’t get much cleaner than that.

Saturday morning the 25th is also glassy, with the swell bumping up to 4 ft from the SW. Then Saturday arvo, it gets interesting. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the SW, wind goes light cross-offshore, and the combined energy is cranking (1932). That’s moderate to strong energy, and the wave quality is set for experienced surfers. If you’ve got the skills, this is a standout.

Sunday the 26th keeps the pulse going. Morning is clear skies, glassy, with a solid 5 ft of SW groundswell running at an 18-second period. That’s a nice long-period groundswell, which means better shaped waves and more push, but expect longer lulls between sets. This kind of swell works a treat at a reef setup like Quimixto.

Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are the true heart of this run. Monday morning delivers 6 ft of glassy SSW swell with energy hitting 2397, and the afternoon goes offshore with the same size. Tuesday morning sees the swell nudge up to 6 ft from the SSW, glassy, and the combined energy is whopping (3887). That’s strong wave energy, and it’s only for experienced surfers. If you can handle it, this is the best on offer.

By Wednesday the 29th, we’re into 8 ft of SW swell. That’s expert territory. The period drops to 12 seconds, but the morning is dead calm and glassy, and the afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze. Energy is still up over 3000. This is big, powerful, and definitely not for the faint of heart.

After that, things start to ease off. Thursday the 30th through the 31st sees the swell drop back to 5 ft and then 4 ft, with lighter winds. The weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August is still surfable, with clean glassy mornings and waist to shoulder-high waves, but the energy is fading fast.

Then comes a real lull from Monday the 3rd through to around Thursday the 7th of August. There are a few days of tiny, ordinary waves, some poor conditions, and even a bit of wind and rain. It’s a noticeable gap of four to five days where you’re better off doing something else.

By Friday the 7th of August, we see a little flare-up. Glassy morning, clean offshore wind in the afternoon, with 2-3 ft SSW swell coming through. It’s nothing special, but it’s a welcome sight after the flat spell.

So if you’re picking your window, the absolute standouts are Saturday afternoon the 25th through to Wednesday morning the 29th of July. Big clean surf, solid energy, and for the first few days, that glassy or offshore wind is a dream. Go get 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.
