The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin’ at what’s cookin’ for our little corner of paradise.
We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, starting with a bang this Sunday and Monday, then a slow fade through the rest of the two weeks. The real standout is gonna be this Sunday morning, July 26th, if you’re keen for a proper session.
Sunday, July 26th is where it’s at. Quimixto is waking up with a clean 5 ft of long-period SW groundswell (18 seconds). The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 89°F, which is always nice. The wind is glassy – just a whisper from the ENE at 3 mph. That combined energy is pumping hard at 1696, showing some real power. This setup will be delivering clean, powerful waves rolling into the reef. It’s a solid size, maybe a bit much for total beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the best on offer. The afternoon holds up too, with the same 5 ft swell and clean cross-off winds.
Monday, July 27th the swell jumps up to 8 ft from the SSW (17 seconds) – that’s big, mean, and only for experts. The winds turn cross-on in the morning and cross-shore in the afternoon, so it’s going to be a messy, powerful beast. The energy is massive (3099-3324), but the quality isn’t there for a good paddle session.
From Tuesday, July 28th through Wednesday, July 29th, the swell drops a bit (6 ft to 7 ft) but stays solid. The problem is the winds – mostly cross-on or cross-shore – keeping the surface bumpy. The conditions are marginal.
Thursday, July 30th sees a nice drop in size to 4 ft from the SSW, and Thursday morning looks glassy again. The energy (1040) is moderate, but the clean conditions will make for a fun, manageable session. Friday the 31st is similar, with small glassy morning surf at 4 ft and clean, light winds in the arvo.
After that, the size keeps dropping. Saturday, August 1st has tiny 3 ft waves and glassy conditions in the morning, but the energy is weak (428). Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd see the swell fade to 2 ft and 2 ft, barely surfable.
Tuesday, August 5th morning has some clean, glassy *2 ft* waves, but the energy is very low (186). The tail end of the forecast, Friday, August 7th and Saturday, August 8th, shows a little pulse coming back. Friday the 7th has glassy 3 ft to 4 ft waves from the SSW with that long period (18 seconds) – a nice little cleanup for the second week. Saturday the 8th morning stays glassy at 4 ft. These are promising but less certain being that far out.
So, for the second week, from August 3rd through the 10th, it’s mostly small and weak, with a couple of clean mornings giving you a chance at a fun knee-to-waist high wave.
Best bet? Get out there Sunday morning, July 26th. That’s the one.

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.
