The Lowdown
Alright gents, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We've got a real mixed bag coming our way over the next 16 days at Quimixto. The surf window opens up nicely this Sunday morning, so we’re not waiting around. The water is a balmy 88°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath out there, in a good way.
The pattern starts with some clean, fun-sized waves. Sunday morning the 19th of July, we’re looking at a 4ft SW groundswell with a long 17-second period, and the wind is absolutely glassy. This is a reef break, so that long period energy is going to wrap in nicely. The combined energy is moderate at 933, but the conditions are perfect. It’s a great spot for beginners, but watch out – it can get busy sometimes.
Monday slips a little, with a cross-on breeze making things a bit bumpy, but Tuesday morning the 21st brings back that glassy feel with a 4ft SW swell. The energy drops a bit to 748, but it’s still a solid morning session.
The real standout, though, is the block of surf we’re looking at starting the week of the 28th of July. This is anywhere from a week to 10 days out, so it’s a promising one. Tuesday the 28th of July afternoon is where it gets serious. We’ve got a massive 16ft SSW swell pumping in with a 15-second period. The combined energy is a huge 10668, and the wind is offshore at 9 mph. The report says "exceptional for expert surfers," and you can bet on that. This is not for the faint of heart. That 16ft is over 8ft, so it’s experts only at this reef break.
Wednesday the 29th of July keeps the same energy, with 16ft and 15ft SSW swells, still with that sweet offshore wind through the day. The energy is over 10000 again. This is the best on offer – a true, heavy, clean swell. If you’ve got the skills, that’s your window.
After that, we drop back down. Thursday the 30th of July has a 10ft WSW swell but it’s a bit cleaner, and by Friday the 31st of July we’re back to 7ft with cross-on winds. The surf slowly fades into the first few days of August, with smaller, cleaner swells on the 1st and 2nd of August, but nothing to get too excited about.
So, for the best on offer: that Sunday morning the 19th of July is a perfect, clean start for everyone. But the absolute standout is the couple of days around the 28th and 29th of July – big, clean, heavy swell for the experts. Don't miss 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.
